WHAT IT DOES

What request_permission does on Anki

AI agents call request_permission as a supporting operation in Anki workflows.

RISK

Why request_permission is rated Low

The tool name 'request_permission' suggests it may be used to request or grant permissions within the Anki MCP context, but with no description provided it is impossible to determine its actual behavior. Given the sibling tools are all Anki flashcard operations, this likely handles authorization/permission checks rather than data manipulation.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'request_permission'; description is empty or uninformative.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

request_permission Rate-limited

request_permission gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

    }
  }
}
