Get type effectiveness information
AI agents call get_type_effectiveness 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.
The tool retrieves type effectiveness information used for analyzing Pokemon battle mechanics. It queries the battle system's type advantage/disadvantage rules, which is a read-only operation. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The low severity reflects that misuse only exposes informational data about game mechanics, which cannot directly harm systems or cause irreversible changes.
From the tool's definition Tool is named 'get_type_effectiveness' and described as 'Get type effectiveness information'. This retrieves battle system data without modifying state or executing side effects.
