It gives your agent 47 Synology DSM File Station actions (19 reads, 13 writes and 15 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Synology DSM File Station credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Synology DSM File Station's limits and records every call.

DSM account name actionlake signs in as and Password of that DSM account. Plus your host. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "synology_dsm" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in Synology DSM File Station?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 15 Synology DSM File Station actions are destructive, including delete files and wait, start deleting files and delete search results.

What does a Synology DSM File Station action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (47 Synology DSM File Station actions page).

Which Synology DSM File Station API does it cover?

It is built from Synology DSM File Station's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 47 actions in 17 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Does actionlake keep my Synology DSM File Station data, and where?

actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 5 minutes, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Synology DSM File Station credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models.

Which AI clients can use it?

Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names.
