Create multiple notes at once. IMPORTANT: For optimal performance, limit batch size to 10-20 notes at a time. For larger sets, split into multiple batches. Always call get_note_type_info first to understand the required fields.
AI agents use batch_create_notes to create or update resources in Anki MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Anki MCP Server environment.
This tool creates multiple flashcard notes in Anki, which is a reversible write operation (notes can be deleted via delete_note). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. The 'medium' severity reflects that an agent could create many unwanted notes, but the impact is bounded and remediable through the delete_note tool.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'batch_create_notes' and description 'Create multiple notes at once' indicate irreversible creation of data records. The instruction to 'Always call get_note_type_info first to understand the required fields' confirms data structure manipulation.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access batch_create_notes gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Anki MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for batch_create_notes:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"batch_create_notes": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "batch_create_notes_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}batch_create_notes stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create multiple notes at once. IMPORTANT: For optimal performance, limit batch size to 10-20 notes at a time. For larger sets, split into multiple batches. Always call get_note_type_info first to understand the required fields. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Anki MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Anki MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for batch_create_notes: 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.
batch_create_notes is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the batch_create_notes 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 batch_create_notes. 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.
batch_create_notes is provided by the Anki MCP Server MCP server (nailuogg/anki-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Anki MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
