# add_tags_to_notes A write tool on the Anki MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `add_tags_to_notes`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/add-tags-to-notes ## Facts - Tool: `add_tags_to_notes` - Server: Anki (`@arielbk/anki-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y @arielbk/anki-mcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/arielbk/anki-mcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "add_tags_to_notes", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why add_tags_to_notes is rated Medium Adding tags to notes creates or modifies metadata on existing Anki notes. This is reversible (tags can be removed), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. The description is empty, which reduces confidence slightly. Severity is medium because careless tag application could cause organizational confusion in a study deck, but the impact is limited and reversible. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'add_tags_to_notes' indicates modification of note metadata (tags). Sibling tools like 'add_note', 'add_notes', and 'change_deck' confirm this server performs data modification operations on Anki flashcards." ## Use case AI agents use add_tags_to_notes to create or update resources in Anki, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Anki environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Anki: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "add_tags_to_notes": { "limits": [ { "counter": "add_tags_to_notes_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on Anki (97) - `clear_unused_tags` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/clear-unused-tags.md - `delete_decks` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/delete-decks.md - `delete_media_file` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/delete-media-file.md - `delete_notes` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/delete-notes.md - `gui_exit_anki` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/gui-exit-anki.md - `manage_decks` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/manage-decks.md - `model_field_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/model-field-remove.md - `model_template_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/model-template-remove.md - `remove_deck_config` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/remove-deck-config.md - `remove_empty_notes` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/remove-empty-notes.md - `anki_operations` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/anki-operations.md - `gui_answer_card` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/gui-answer-card.md - `gui_deck_browser` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/gui-deck-browser.md - `gui_deck_review` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/gui-deck-review.md - `gui_select_card` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/gui-select-card.md - `gui_select_note` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/gui-select-note.md - `gui_show_answer` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/gui-show-answer.md - `gui_show_question` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/gui-show-question.md - `gui_start_card_timer` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/gui-start-card-timer.md - `relearn_cards` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/relearn-cards.md - `reload_collection` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/reload-collection.md - `study_session` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/study-session.md - `api_reflect` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/api-reflect.md - `card_reviews` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/card-reviews.md - `export_package` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/export-package.md - `gui_browse` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/gui-browse.md - `gui_undo` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/gui-undo.md - `multi` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/multi.md - `request_permission` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/request-permission.md - `sync` — Other — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/sync.md - …and 67 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
