Retrieves information about the note types (models) used within a specified deck. Helps determine if a single model is used, multiple, or if the deck is empty.
AI agents call get_deck_model_info 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 only reads/queries metadata about deck models. No data is created, modified, or deleted. Misuse has minimal blast radius as it is purely informational.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_deck_model_info 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 get_deck_model_info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_deck_model_info": {}
}
}get_deck_model_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Retrieves information about the note types (models) used within a specified deck. Helps determine if a single model is used, multiple, or if the deck is empty. 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 get_deck_model_info: 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.
get_deck_model_info 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 get_deck_model_info 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 get_deck_model_info. 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.
get_deck_model_info is provided by the Anki MCP Server MCP server (nietus/anki-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
