What export_package does on Anki
AI agents call export_package as a supporting operation in Anki workflows.
Why export_package is rated Low
The name 'export_package' suggests exporting data (likely an Anki .apkg file), which could be a Read operation (reading/exporting data) or a Write operation (writing a file to disk). Without a description, it's unclear whether it creates a file artifact (Write) or simply reads/packages existing data. Given the ambiguity and empty description, confidence is low.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'export_package'; description is empty or uninformative.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs export_package safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Anki, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For export_package, this is the rule to start with:
export_package gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Anki, apply this rule, and every export_package call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about export_package
export_package is a other tool on the Anki MCP server. It is categorised as a Other tool in the Anki MCP Server, which means it performs auxiliary operations.
Register the Anki MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for export_package: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Anki. Nothing to install.
export_package is a Other tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the export_package rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for export_package. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
export_package is provided by the Anki MCP server (@arielbk/anki-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
