Retrieve comprehensive statistics and information about an Anki deck.
AI agents call get_deck_overview to retrieve information from Anki MCP Data Bridge without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only query operation that retrieves deck statistics and metadata. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations—it only queries and returns information about an existing Anki deck. This is a low-severity operation with minimal risk of misuse.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_deck_overview' and description 'Retrieve comprehensive statistics and information about an Anki deck' indicate data retrieval with no modification, deletion, or side effects.
