List all Pokémon TCG (and other trading card game) sets/expansions in the TCGdex database, with id, name, and card counts. Use get_set with an id for the full set including its card list.
AI agents call list_sets 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.
This tool performs a straightforward database query that returns structured information about trading card sets. There are no modifications to data, no code execution, no deletions, and no financial operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve existing public data about card game expansions. This is a classic Read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List all Pokémon TCG (and other trading card game) sets/expansions' and retrieves 'id, name, and card counts' from the TCGdex database.

List all Pokémon TCG (and other trading card game) sets/expansions in the TCGdex database, with id, name, and card counts. Use get_set with an id for the full set including its card list. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Tcgdex MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Tcgdex MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_sets: 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.
list_sets 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 list_sets 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 list_sets. 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.
list_sets 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.
