Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| update_cardA | Update a card/note in Anki. Supports 4 operations: (1) 'answer': mark a card as reviewed with ease 1-4, (2) 'update_note': update note fields, tags, and media, (3) 'update_fields': update only fields and media, (4) 'update_tags': update only tags. Returns success message with operation details. |
| add_cardA | Create a new flashcard in Anki. Requires: deckName (exact deck name), modelName (note type like 'Basic' or 'Cloze'), and fields object matching the note type's field names. Returns card ID on success. FORMATTING: Use HTML only (NO markdown) - for line breaks, for bold, for italic, / for lists. Media files (audio/picture) support URLs or local absolute paths. |
| get_due_cardsA | Retrieve cards that are due for review. Returns JSON object with 'count' (number of cards) and 'cards' array. Each card includes: cardId (number), question (HTML cleaned string), answer (HTML cleaned string), due (Unix timestamp). Ordered by due date (earliest first). |
| get_new_cardsA | Retrieve new unseen cards that haven't been studied yet. Returns JSON object with 'count' (number of cards) and 'cards' array. Each card includes: cardId (number), question (HTML cleaned string), answer (HTML cleaned string), due (Unix timestamp). Ordered by card position in new queue. |
| get_cardA | Retrieve detailed card/note information. Provide EITHER cardId OR query (not both). Returns array of card objects with: cardId, deckName, modelName, question, answer, fields (object with all field values), due, interval, ease, reps, lapses, type, queue, noteId. Use this to find card/note IDs for update operations or to inspect card details. |
| batch_add_cardA | Create multiple flashcards in one operation. Each card has same structure as add_card tool. Returns JSON with 'successful' (count), 'failed' (count), and 'errors' array (details of failures if any). More efficient than calling add_card multiple times. Use HTML formatting (not markdown). Processes cards sequentially; partial success possible (some cards created, some failed). |
