Look up a single Pokémon TCG (or other trading card game) card by its TCGdex id (e.g. "swsh3-136"). Returns full card details: category, rarity, hp, types, stage, set, illustrator, attacks, abilities, and a high-quality image URL.
AI agents call get_card to retrieve information from Mcp Tcgdex without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |

id | string | Yes | TCGdex card id, e.g. "swsh3-136". |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool queries a trading card database by ID and returns structured data about a card. It has no side effects, cannot modify data, execute code, or perform financial transactions. The worst-case misuse is retrieving public card information, which poses minimal risk. Confidence is high because the description explicitly characterizes this as a lookup/retrieval operation.
From the tool's definition Tool performs a lookup and returns card details (category, rarity, hp, types, stage, set, illustrator, attacks, abilities, image URL) with no modification capability. The verb is 'Look up' and the operation is purely retrieval-based.

get_card accepts 1 parameter: id. Required: id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Mcp Tcgdex MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_card: 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 Mcp Tcgdex. Nothing to install.
get_card 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_card 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_card. 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_card is provided by the Mcp Tcgdex MCP server (pipeworx-io/mcp-tcgdex). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
