AI agents call remove_notebook to permanently remove resources in SiYuan MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Deleting a notebook is an irreversible operation that removes all contained data. This matches the Destructive category definition ('irreversibly deletes or overwrites data, or actions that cannot be undone'). The severity is critical due to the broad blast radius—an entire notebook and all its contents are destroyed.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'remove_notebook' and description '删除笔记本' (delete notebook in Chinese) directly indicate irreversible deletion of an entire notebook. This is permanently destructive and cannot be undone.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access remove_notebook gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and SiYuan MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for remove_notebook:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"remove_notebook"
]
}remove_notebook disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.
