Call this to discover valid card names.search_cardsSearch all 78 tarot cards by theme, keyword, or topic (e.g. "new beginnings", "heartbreak", "career success"). Searches names, keywords, and meaning texts. Returns matching cards with their keywords. Call this when you have a theme rather than a card name.yes_no_answerGet the yes/no/maybe value of a tarot card for yes-or-no readings, with the upright meaning as justification. Covers all 78 cards.draw_cardsRandomly draw one or more distinct tarot cards from the full 78-card deck, optionally with reversals, returning each card's full meaning.
