This is a frequent tagging problem. bicycle=* , oneway=* , and oneway/bicycle=* are tags describing the legal access status. So does highway=path (it implies, in many jurisdictions, foot=yes and bicycle=yes).
There is a way to indicate a route is a MTB route, and also that such route is technically unidirectional. If a highway=path is difficult to hike due to the mtb jumping steps one could handle this by using sac_scale grading, or by tagging the entire route with cai_scale.
