Get the current status of the active battle
AI agents call get_battle_status to retrieve information from Pokemon MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a retrieval operation with no side effects. It queries the current state of a battle (likely returning health, turn order, active Pokemon, etc.) but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions. It is purely informational and therefore classified as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_battle_status' and description 'Get the current status of the active battle' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves information about an ongoing battle without modifying state.
