What it does

Siyuan MCP System Safety is an agent skill from yangtaihong59/siyuan-plugins-mcp-sisyphus. MCP guide for SiYuan system information, notebook permissions, action help, dangerous-operation confirmation, sensitive disclosures, and troubleshooting.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: 一个用于连接Agent与Siyuan的工具. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

  • “/siyuan-mcp-system-safety”

  2. Actual loading: inspect the current runtime inventory and the user-visible enabled state. A package being present, discoverable, or…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d2ad534. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Siyuan MCP System Safety loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 535 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SiYuan System and Safety with MCP

Start with a connectivity check and inspect live help before unfamiliar actions.

text
system(action="get_version")
text
system(action="get_current_time")
text
notebook(action="get_permissions")

Notebook permissions are rwd, rw, r, and none. Missing content can mean permission filtering rather than absence. Record the current value before proposing a permission change.

Confirmation boundary

Obtain explicit approval before notebook/document/block deletion or move, bulk replacement, asset upload or deletion, local-path export, tag/card removal, permission changes, and workspace path disclosure. State the exact target and consequence. A prior request to inspect or diagnose is not approval to mutate.

text
system(action="conf", mode="summary")
text
system(action="network")
text
system(action="notify", msg="Task complete", level="info", timeout=5000)
text
extension(action="list", refresh=false)

Extension trust and lifecycle verification

Treat an extension package as executable third-party code. Keep these checks separate; passing one does not prove the next one:

  1. Static package check: inspect the package metadata and required files, exact minAppVersion, backends, kernels, and frontends values, then review the source, entrypoint, handlers, and cleanup paths. A package validator can catch malformed or incompatible files, but it cannot prove that SiYuan loaded the package.
  2. Actual loading: inspect the current runtime inventory and the user-visible enabled state. A package being present, discoverable, or statically valid is not evidence that its onload or kernel entrypoint ran.
  3. Registration and unregistration: for an approved live check, verify the lifecycle-owned surface after enablement (for example a frontend Agent action or plugin MCP tool), then disable/unload it and verify the same name is gone. Confirm that DOM nodes, listeners, timers, RPC methods, and MCP tools are cleaned up; the official siyuan://help/action/extension/list bridge only reports tools exposed by SiYuan's /mcp registry and is not a substitute for frontend UI evidence.
  4. Reload and functional readback: use the supported reload path, then repeat discovery and one harmless surface-specific interaction. Check that the new behavior works once, old registrations are absent, and no duplicate handlers remain. Do not treat a refreshed tool list as proof that a plugin UI or desktop-only code path works.

Browser-desktop verification covers browser-compatible surfaces and ordinary web UI only. SiYuan desktop-app verification is required for desktop-only surfaces such as Electron/desktop-window or backend/kernel behavior; a desktop pass does not prove browser compatibility. Use the exact manifest frontend values (desktop, desktop-window, browser-desktop, or browser-mobile) and validate each declared surface separately. Enabling, disabling, reloading, or invoking an untrusted package is a live side effect and requires explicit user approval; this scenario guidance does not authorize it.

If an action or field is rejected, inspect siyuan://help/tool-overview and the relevant siyuan://help/action/{tool}/{action} resource instead of guessing. Search results can lag recent writes; direct ID/path reads do not depend on indexing.

Runtime and write guarantees

CLI execution is an explicit command, but that consent does not prove strict safe writes. Raw MCP payloads and Agent-generated calls likewise do not establish which coordinator or confirmation path handled them. Check the active runtime help and returned fields such as writeSafetyGuaranteed before relying on preflight, idempotency, or readback guarantees. If execution may have started and the response is lost, do not blindly resend; reread the exact target. Direct kernel, native, third-party, notification, sync, feedback, and local export effects remain outside Sisyphus strict-write guarantees.

MCP safety

Respect server permission errors and dangerous-action confirmation responses. Never bypass them with another action. The MCP server must not write skill files or configuration into the client machine.
