# model_template_add A write tool on the Anki MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `model_template_add`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/model-template-add ## Facts - Tool: `model_template_add` - 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": "model_template_add", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why model_template_add is rated Medium The tool creates or adds a new model template to Anki's card model system. This is reversible (templates can be deleted or modified later) and does not irreversibly destroy data. While the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the naming convention and context strongly suggest a Write operation. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'model_template_add' indicates adding/creating a model template in Anki. The name contains the verb 'add' which modifies data. Sibling tools like 'add_note', 'add_notes', and 'add_tags_to_notes' establish a pattern of Write operations on this server." ## Use case AI agents use model_template_add 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": { "model_template_add": { "limits": [ { "counter": "model_template_add_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.
