Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

anki-connect scanned grade B with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

AnkiConnect

Overview

Enable reliable interaction with Anki through the AnkiConnect local HTTP API. Use this skill to translate user requests into AnkiConnect actions, craft JSON requests, run them via curl/jq (or equivalent tools), and interpret results safely.

Preconditions and Environment

  • If Anki is not running, launch Anki, then wait until the AnkiConnect server responds at http://127.0.0.1:8765 (default). Verify readiness using curl, e.g. curl -sS http://127.0.0.1:8765 should return Anki-Connect.

Safety and Confirmation Policy (Critical)

CRITICAL — NO EXCEPTIONS

Before any destructive or modifying operation on notes or cards (adding, updating, deleting, rescheduling, suspending, unsuspending, changing deck, or changing fields/tags), request confirmation from the user. Use the AskUserQuestion tool if available; otherwise ask via chat. Only request confirmation once per logical operation, even if it requires multiple API calls (e.g., search + update + verify). Group confirmation by intent and scope (e.g., “Update 125 notes matching query X”).

Treat the following as confirmation-required by default:

  • Notes: addNote, addNotes, updateNoteFields, updateNoteTags, updateNote, updateNoteModel, deleteNotes, removeEmptyNotes, replaceTags, replaceTagsInAllNotes, clearUnusedTags.
  • Cards: setEaseFactors, setSpecificValueOfCard, suspend, unsuspend, forgetCards, relearnCards, answerCards, setDueDate, changeDeck.
  • Deck or model modifications that materially change cards/notes (deck deletion, model edits). Ask even if the action is not explicitly listed above.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
