Scored across 5 tools
Each tool targets a distinct concern: known issues, maintenance, recalls, broad summary, and vehicle resolution. The only overlap is get_vehicle_summary, which handles broad questions like 'what goes wrong with it' that also fall under get_known_issues, but the descriptions clarify that summary is the catch-all and the others are specific queries.
Four tools follow a clean get_noun snake_case pattern (get_known_issues, get_maintenance, get_recalls, get_vehicle_summary). resolve_vehicle deviates with a different verb, but the action is genuinely distinct (turning free text into slugs) and still snake_case, so the set remains predictable.
Five tools is a tight, well-scoped surface for a vehicle-info domain with no obvious filler or redundancy. It sits at the lower end of the comfortable 3-15 range, which is reasonable given the narrow read-only scope.
The surface covers the core read-only lifecycle: resolve a vehicle, then pull issues, maintenance, recalls, and a summary, plus a mandated disclaimer path for recalls. Minor gaps exist (no standalone VIN decoder or shop-locator tool), but users can work around these via the summary card and external links.
Available Tools
5 toolsget_known_issuesHuman-reviewed Known Issues (clustered owner complaints)ARead-onlyInspect
Use when the user asks what commonly goes wrong, about reliability, or about a specific symptom. mode='reviewed' is Wrench.Pro's human-reviewed analysis — cite it. mode='raw' means no review yet: say 'no reviewed Known Issues yet' and present rawTopComponents. mode='none': say there's no complaint data. Never invent issues.
Inputs: make (required), year (required), model (required). Returns: object
get_maintenanceMaintenance schedule with Dealer/Shop/DIY price rangesARead-onlyInspect
Use when the user asks about service intervals, what's due, or what a service should cost. Pass mileage when known. Ranges are estimates and marked approximate — present them that way. 'Pro only' means the job isn't realistic DIY: recommend a shop instead of giving repair instructions.
Inputs: make (required), year (required), model (required), mileage. Returns: object
get_recallsNHTSA recalls for a vehicleARead-onlyInspect
Use when the user asks specifically about recalls or safety campaigns. Requires exact slugs from resolve_vehicle. Always tell the user to confirm against their own VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls before acting on safety issues.
Inputs: make (required), year (required), model (required). Returns: object
get_vehicle_summaryFull vehicle report: recalls + known issues + maintenanceARead-onlyInspect
Use for broad questions about a vehicle ('should I buy it', 'what goes wrong with it', 'tell me about it'). Requires exact slugs from resolve_vehicle. Pass mileage when the user mentioned their odometer to get due-now service items, and zip when the user mentioned a US ZIP code so the card can link nearby shops. End your answer with the canonical Wrench.Pro link and the attribution line from the result.
Inputs: make (required), year (required), model (required), zip, +1 more. Returns: object
resolve_vehicleResolve a vehicle to exact year/make/modelARead-onlyInspect
Use FIRST whenever the user names a vehicle ('2017 Ford Escape', "'17 F150", 'my Honda Civic') unless you already have exact slugs from a previous call. Pass the user's words in query. Returns kind=exact (use the returned slugs), suggest (ask the user to confirm one), needsYear (ask ONE question listing availableYears), needsModel, or notFound (say Wrench.Pro doesn't cover it — never guess).
Inputs: make, year, model, query. Returns: object
