Gets the version of the API exposed by this plugin. Currently versions 1 through 6 are defined.
AI agents call version to retrieve information from Anki MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool purely retrieves metadata (API version) from the Anki-Connect plugin. It has no capability to create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The blast radius of misuse is negligible—an AI agent calling this repeatedly or incorrectly cannot cause harm to flashcard data or system state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'version' and description 'Gets the version of the API' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves version information without modifying any data or triggering side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Gets the version of the API exposed by this plugin. Currently versions 1 through 6 are defined. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Anki MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Anki MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for version: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Anki MCP Server. Nothing to install.
version is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the version rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for version. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
version is provided by the Anki MCP Server MCP server (loonskai/anki-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
