Adaptive Cards MCP tools 9
generate_cardConvert any content — natural language description, structured data, or a combination — into a valid Adaptive Card v1.6 JSON. Returns cardId for reference in subsequent tool calls.validate_cardValidate an Adaptive Card JSON against the v1.6 schema. Returns diagnostics with suggested fixes for each error. Accepts card JSON or a cardId from a previous tool call.data_to_cardConvert structured data (JSON array, CSV, key-value object) into the optimal Adaptive Card presentation.optimize_cardOptimize an existing Adaptive Card. Accepts card JSON or a cardId.template_cardConvert a static Adaptive Card into an Adaptive Card Template with ${expression} data binding.transform_cardTransform an Adaptive Card: upgrade/downgrade version, apply host-specific constraints, or flatten nesting.suggest_layoutRecommend the best Adaptive Card layout pattern for a given description.generate_and_validateGenerate an Adaptive Card and immediately validate + optionally optimize it in a single call. Reduces tool-call overhead for common workflows.card_workflowExecute a multi-step card pipeline in a single call. Steps: generate, validate, optimize, template, transform.
