If everyone is following the rules, you shouldn't need that. From the outlet,
you should be able to assume the wiring behind it. You could have a 15A outlet
with 20A wiring, but I wouldn't try to draw 16A from it. While the wiring
could take it, the outlet isn't rated for it.

While the circuit in the garage is probably 20A, it may be wired with 15A
outlets. They are pretty easy to change, though.

If you take two "commercial duty" receptacles apart, one rated 15a and the
other 20a,
Paul,
There are a number of places in your home that are _required_ by the
national electrical code to have dedicated 20 amp circuits for the 120V
receptacles.
There are at a minimum five (5) 20 amp 120V receptacle circuits in a
modern house:

Is there a way for an instrument (live ohmmeter / ammeter)
or an electronic circuit to recognize the gauge (and surmise
the amperage protection likely in place) ?
eg, measuring ohms from neutral to ground,
(for 120 circuits) or doing a millisecond high-load
