MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous Anki tools

Write · Medium add-words-batch This tool creates and modifies Anki cards and vocabulary lists, which are reversible write operations.

1 of Anki's 3 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Anki

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Anki, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations

{
  "add-words-batch": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "add-words-batch_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "list-words": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "list-words_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Create a free account and register Anki — nothing to install.
Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about Anki

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Anki? +

The Anki server has 1 write tools including add-words-batch. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach Anki.

How many tools does the Anki MCP server expose? +

3 tools across 2 categories: Read, Write. 2 are read-only. 1 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Anki? +

Register the Anki MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.
