siyuan-agent (Direct HTTP)
Standalone CLI for SiYuan — direct HTTP API access, no npm dependencies.
Setup
- Enable SiYuan API token: SiYuan → Settings → About → API token
- Set the token:
export SIYUAN_TOKEN=your_token_here
export SIYUAN_BASE=http://127.0.0.1:6806 # optional, default shown
(Add these to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc to persist.)
You don't need to use the CLI yourself. Just tell your agent to read this SKILL.md — it will use this tool automatically.

SQL Safety
The sql command only allows SELECT statements. Non-SELECT queries are rejected with an error.
Write Protection
Write operations (insertBlock, updateBlock, deleteBlock) require write=true.
The call command requires write=true for non-read paths (export, asset upload are treated as write paths).
Hard-Blocked Paths
These notebook operations are blocked and cannot be called:
/api/notebook/createNotebook/api/notebook/removeNotebook/api/notebook/renameNotebook/api/notebook/closeNotebook/api/notebook/saveNotebookConf
