# resume_card

> Resume a paused multi-use card

Resumes a paused multi-use card so it can authorize charges again. Nothing else about the card changes: the balance, spend limit, and expiry carry over exactly as they were when it was paused.

## Parameters

| Parameter     | Type   | Required | Description                                                                                                     |
| ------------- | ------ | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `card_id`     | string | Yes      | The paused card to resume                                                                                       |
| `approval_id` | string | No       | Approval id from a prior `approval_required` response on a card another app created, once the user has approved |

## Returns

A confirmation with the `cardId` and a `status` of `active`. Only a paused multi-use card can be resumed; a closed card cannot come back (create a new one with [create\_card](/companies/mcp/tools/create_card) instead).

<Note>
  **Cards from another app.** On a personal card a different connected app minted (`access: "connected"` in [list\_cards](/companies/mcp/tools/list_cards)), this call returns `approval_required` with an `approvalId` instead of resuming. The user is emailed an approve/deny link; once they approve, retry with `approval_id`. See [One wallet across apps](/companies/mcp/overview#one-wallet-across-apps).
</Note>

## Example

```json theme={null}
{ "name": "resume_card", "arguments": { "card_id": "card_abc123" } }
