# set_cards_ease_factors A write tool on the Anki MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `set_cards_ease_factors`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-arielbk-anki-mcp/set-cards-ease-factors ## Facts - Tool: `set_cards_ease_factors` - 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": "set_cards_ease_factors", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why set_cards_ease_factors is rated Medium This tool modifies existing card metadata (ease factors control SRS intervals in Anki) rather than creating new entities or deleting data. The change is reversible by setting different ease factor values. Classified as Write rather than Execute because it updates a specific parameter rather than triggering arbitrary code execution. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'set_cards_ease_factors' directly indicates modification of card properties (ease factors). No description provided, but the verb 'set' combined with sibling tools like 'add_note', 'add_tags_to_notes', and 'answer_cards' establishes this as a data…" ## Use case AI agents use set_cards_ease_factors 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**.
