WHAT IT DOES

What card_reviews does on Anki

AI agents call card_reviews as a supporting operation in Anki workflows.

RISK

Why card_reviews is rated Low

The description is empty and uninformative, making classification uncertain. The name 'card_reviews' could imply reading review history (Read) or submitting/logging reviews (Write). Given sibling tools like 'answer_cards' which likely handles review answering, 'card_reviews' most plausibly retrieves review data. However, without a description, confidence is very low and Other is most appropriate.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'card_reviews' with empty description; name alone suggests reading or writing review data for Anki cards
