Overview
Card Generator works by generating valid test/sample card numbers based on the specified brand and count. It uses predefined rules and algorithms to generate the card numbers, then returns the list of generated card numbers in a structured format.

The tool
Once your client is connected to the VerveKit server, this appears in its tool list as TestCardGeneratorSkill. It is read-only and open-world — it fetches and never mutates anything on your side — so most clients call it without asking you to confirm.
{
"name": "TestCardGeneratorSkill",
"arguments": {}
}Connecting
One server URL covers every skill in the catalog, including this one. Authorization is OAuth: the client opens a browser once, and there is no key to paste into a config file.

"vervekit": {

Arguments
These are the properties on the tool's inputSchema, so a well-behaved client validates them before the call is made. Premium arguments are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
brandOptional | string | The brand of the card to generatevisamastercardamexdiscoverjcbdinersunionpaydefault visa |
countOptionalPremium | integer | The number of test card numbers to generate default 1 · range 1–50 |
includeAvatarOptionalPremium | boolean | Include an AI-generated face avatar for the card owner |
What the model gets back
The result carries a structuredContent object matching the tool's declared outputSchema, so a client reads fields without parsing prose. status is "ok" and error is null on success; a null field means the value was not available for that input, not that the call failed.

Failure modes
Errors come back as tool errors carrying a sentence the model can act on, not a bare status code. Error handling covers the full list.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
400 / 422 | The arguments did not validate. The message names the offending one. |
401 | The OAuth session is invalid or expired — reconnect the server. |
403 | Blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Never a bad identity. |
404 | This skill is not part of VerveKit. Check the catalog. |
429 | Out of credits, or a brief rate limit. The message tells them apart. |
A call costs 2 credits each time the tool actually runs; a model that reasons about the tool without calling it costs nothing.
