filesystem-mcp-guardrails SKILL.md skillA

filesystem-mcp-guardrails from yeaight7/agent-powerups is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/filesystem-mcp-guardrails@git:20260515.a1b057c

Pins git:20260515.a1b057c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when designing or reviewing filesystem MCP access, path boundaries, allowed roots, method allowlists, and safe local file operations.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Filesystem MCP Guardrails

## When to use
Use when configuring, reviewing, or debugging a local filesystem MCP server — particularly when deciding which paths to expose, which methods to allow, and how to enforce workspace boundaries.

## Safety Model

The core constraint is **strict path bounding**: the MCP server must only operate within explicitly declared workspace roots. No exceptions.

| Principle | Rule |
|---|---|
| Scope | Bind to the project workspace directory only — never `/`, `~`, or OS dirs |
| Access | Start read-only; add write methods only when the use case requires them |
| Methods | Use an allowlist — block delete/move/rename by default |
| Secrets | Never expose `.env`, credential files, SSH keys, or token stores |
| Approval | Always require user approval before starting a new MCP server process |

## Configuration Checklist

Before starting a filesystem MCP server:

- [ ] Allowed roots list is explicit and scoped to the project directory.
- [ ] No root is set to `/`, `~`, or any system-level path.
- [ ] Method allowlist is defined (e.g., `read_file`, `list_directory`, `search_files`).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/filesystem-mcp-guardrails@sha256:b8e0e92693490173

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260515.a1b057c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
