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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00040 | $0.00340 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00170 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00068 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00034 |
Grade A, and why
author-anki-note-types scanned grade A with 0 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 10d 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.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Author Anki Note Types
Quick rules
- Pass
profileIdon every write tool. - Run
upsert_note_typewithdryRun=truebefore applying. - Treat note types as schema design work, not content authoring work.
- A successful
upsert_note_type(dryRun=false)is immediately usable byadd_note. - If a change is destructive, create a new versioned model instead of mutating in place.
Pick the workflow
- New note type:
list_note_types -> get_note_type_schema -> upsert_note_type(dryRun=true) -> upsert_note_type(dryRun=false)
- Additive-safe update to an existing note type:
get_note_type_schema -> upsert_note_type(dryRun=true) -> upsert_note_type(dryRun=false)
- Verify direct usability:
ensure_deck -> add_note -> open_note_preview
When to read references
- Read references/operations.md when you need concrete payload examples.
- If you are unsure whether a change is additive-safe, inspect the current schema before writing.
Failure handling
FORBIDDEN_OPERATION: the requested note type change is destructive for the current phase.INVALID_ARGUMENT: fix field names, template references, or duplicate metadata.NOT_FOUND: refresh the target note type or create a new model name.
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

author-anki-note-types is a skill published in the GitHub repository yama662607/anki-mcp (0 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 340 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
