# gui_import_file A write tool on the Anki MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `gui_import_file`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/gui-import-file ## Facts - Tool: `gui_import_file` - 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": "gui_import_file", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why gui_import_file is rated Medium Import tools reversibly add or update data in a system (Write category). Since the description is empty, confidence is moderate. Severity is medium because importing malicious or incorrect data could corrupt an Anki collection, but the damage is potentially reversible through backups or undo operations, unlike destructive actions. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'gui_import_file' suggests importing/loading data into Anki; sibling tools like 'gui_add_cards' and 'anki_operations' indicate this server manipulates Anki collections. Import operations typically create or modify card data." ## Use case AI agents use gui_import_file 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": { "gui_import_file": { "limits": [ { "counter": "gui_import_file_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.
