decode_vinDecodes a 17-character VIN with NHTSA's free vPIC database: year, make, model, body class, GVWR class, engine and more.No findings
Why it is in this group
- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
Description, as the server wrote it Decodes a 17-character VIN with NHTSA's free vPIC database: year, make, model, body class, GVWR class, engine and more. On-road vehicles only; off-highway equipment uses serial numbers instead.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Decode a VIN
- readOnlyHint: true
- destructiveHint: false
- idempotentHint: true
- openWorldHint: true
equipment_cost_per_hourCalculates what a machine really costs per hour to own and operate: depreciation, cost of capital, insurance/taxes/storage, fuel, lubricants, repairs and wear parts.No findings
Why it is in this group

Description, as the server wrote it Calculates what a machine really costs per hour to own and operate: depreciation, cost of capital, insurance/taxes/storage, fuel, lubricants, repairs and wear parts. Same math as the Torgix calculator at torgix.ai/learn. Purchase price and hours per year are required; anything else left out uses the calculator's defaults, which the answer lists.

Description, as the server wrote it Reviews a pasted fleet list (one machine per line: make, model, year, hours; a header row and CSV or tab-separated text both work, up to 200 rows) and flags old machines, high hours, possibly underused units, missing information and duplicate unit IDs, with a fleet summary. Plain rules, nothing stored.

annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"destructiveHint":false,"idempotentHint":true,"openWorldHint":false}; The name "repair_rebuild_or_replace" says "replace": a word for a change.
Description, as the server wrote it Decides whether to repair (or rebuild) a machine or replace it, by comparing cost per hour. The repair is priced by the hours it buys before the next major event. Uses the method on torgix.ai/learn/repair-rebuild-or-replace. Give the replacement either as a cost per hour or as a purchase price. For a rebuild, enter the rebuild cost and the much larger hours it buys.

Description, as the server wrote it Lists registration, IFTA, IRP, DOT inspection, emissions, permit and highway-use-tax requirements for a US state (or DC) plus the federal items, each with its official source link and the date it was checked. Give a GVWR (and axles, and whether it crosses state lines) to also check CDL, USDOT, IFTA, IRP and Form 2290 weight thresholds. From Torgix's rulebook of 355 cited items. Not legal advice.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
