WHAT IT DOES

What remove_deck_config does on Anki

AI agents call remove_deck_config to permanently remove resources in Anki, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why remove_deck_config is rated Critical

Removing deck configuration is a destructive operation that cannot be easily undone without restoring from backup. While it doesn't delete the deck itself, it eliminates configuration settings that may affect how the deck functions (study settings, new card limits, etc.).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'remove_deck_config' indicates deletion/removal of deck configuration. The verb 'remove' combined with 'deck_config' (configuration) suggests irreversible deletion of settings.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs remove_deck_config 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 remove_deck_config, this is the rule to start with:

remove_deck_config Hidden

remove_deck_config is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
