## Why get_collection_stats_html is rated Low

This tool retrieves and returns collection statistics without modifying, deleting, or executing arbitrary operations. It has no side effects on the Anki collection itself—it only fetches aggregated data for display purposes. This is a classic Read category operation with minimal blast radius.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_collection_stats_html' indicates retrieval of statistical data about an Anki collection in HTML format. The 'get_' prefix and 'stats' in the name strongly suggest a read-only query operation."

## Use case

AI agents call get_collection_stats_html to retrieve information from Anki without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Anki:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_collection_stats_html": {}
  }
}
```
