## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-09-24.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 11 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 85/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1471 tokens (~122/item across 12 items; 11 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 67/100
  - Stability observed for 20 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 98/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 94% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 11 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 13 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (11)

### `search_cards` (~298 tokens)

Search cards

Search the Pokémon TCG Pocket card catalog by name, attack, ability, artist, or id, with optional filters for set, energy type, stage, card kind, rarity, Trainer subtype, HP range, weakness, and retreat cost. Returns up to 20 summarized cards plus the total number of matches.

- `hpMax` (integer): Maximum HP (Pokémon only).
- `hpMin` (integer): Minimum HP (Pokémon only).
- `kind` (string)
- `locale` (string): Locale for card names, e.g. 'en', 'ja_JP', 'fr_FR'. Defaults to 'en'.
- `page` (integer): 1-based page number. Defaults to 1.
- `query` (string): Free text: card name, attack or ability text, artist, or card id.

### `get_card` (~123 tokens)

Get card

Get one Pokémon TCG Pocket card's available catalog data: HP, attacks with energy costs and damage, abilities, weakness, retreat cost, evolution, artist, rarity, and artwork. Trainer cards return their rules text and subtype instead of attacks. Accepts either a printing id like 'A1-001' or a gameplay card id like 'PK_000010'.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Printing id ('A1-001') or gameplay card id ('PK_000010').
- `locale` (string): Locale for names and text. Defaults to 'en'.

### `list_sets` (~48 tokens)

List sets

List every Pokémon TCG Pocket set with its id and localized name. Use the ids to filter search_cards by set.

Input parameters:

- `locale` (string): Locale for set names. Defaults to 'en'.

### `list_packs` (~55 tokens)

List packs

List every Pokémon TCG Pocket booster pack with its id, parent set id, and localized name. Pack ids identify where a printing can be pulled.

Input parameters:

- `locale` (string): Locale for pack names. Defaults to 'en'.

### `list_locales` (~39 tokens)

List locales

List every locale code the catalog has translations for. Pass one as 'locale' to any other tool for localized card, set, and pack names.

### `catalog_info` (~50 tokens)

Catalog info

Catalog metadata: game version, schema version, card/printing/set/pack counts, and supported locales. Quote the game version alongside any simulation result so the evidence stays pinned to the data it was computed from.

### `list_printings` (~125 tokens)

List printings

List every printing of one card across all sets: printing id, set, collector number, rarity, artist, and canonical page URL. Accepts either a printing id like 'A1-001' or a gameplay card id like 'PK_000010'. get_card only returns the first printing; use this when the question is about reprints, alt arts, or pull sources.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Printing id ('A1-001') or gameplay card id ('PK_000010').
- `locale` (string): Locale for names. Defaults to 'en'.

### `evaluate_deck` (~111 tokens)

Evaluate deck

Check a 20-card Pokémon TCG Pocket deck against the game's rules (exactly 20 cards, at most 2 copies of a card, at least one Basic Pokémon) and return build advice: missing evolution lines, energy-type spread, Pokémon/Trainer balance, missing staple Trainers, and known card synergies. Takes gameplay card ids, not printing ids.

Input parameters:

- `cards` (array, required): The deck list, one entry per distinct card.
- `locale` (string): Locale for card names in messages.

### `suggest_deck` (~131 tokens)

Suggest deck

Build a complete, legal 20-card Pokémon TCG Pocket deck around a chosen card. Returns a named archetype, why it works, limitations, and the full card list with copy counts. Trainer targets produce a legal baseline with an explicit effect-data limitation. Give either a card name to search for or a gameplay card id.

Input parameters:

- `cardId` (string): Gameplay card id, e.g. 'PK_000960'.
- `locale` (string): Locale for card names. Defaults to 'en'.
- `query` (string): Card name to build around, e.g. 'Charizard ex'.

### `simulate_matchup` (~151 tokens)

Simulate matchup

Run two legal 20-card Pokémon TCG Pocket decks through the Battle Lab rules engine using deterministic heuristic AI. Returns wins, draws, failures, average turns/actions, and a short sample game log. This measures the built-in AI policy, not human skill or competitive win probability.

Input parameters:

- `deckA` (object, required): First deck to compare.
- `deckB` (object, required): Second deck to compare.
- `games` (integer): Number of simulated games. Defaults to 20; maximum 50.
- `locale` (string): Locale for card names in the sample log. Defaults to 'en'.
- `seed` (integer): Base random seed. Reusing the same inputs and seed reproduces the result.

### `trial_deck` (~177 tokens)

Trial deck

Solo-trial one legal 20-card Pokémon TCG Pocket deck: opening-hand consistency (Basics per opener, Trainer density, how often each card shows up across sampled hands) plus mirror self-play with the deck on both seats (closing speed and first-player bias). Use this to tune a single deck; use simulate_matchup to compare two decks. Takes gameplay card ids, not printing ids.

Input parameters:

- `deck` (object, required): The deck to trial.
- `games` (integer): Mirror self-play games. Defaults to 10; maximum 50.
- `hands` (integer): Opening hands to sample. Defaults to 50; maximum 200.
- `locale` (string): Locale for card names. Defaults to 'en'.
- `seed` (integer): Base random seed. Reusing the same inputs and seed reproduces the result.
