  • 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.

    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.

      What this check looks for
    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
    Finds an operator, service or parts manual (or spec sheet) for a make and model in the Discount Equipment library and returns its title and link. Searches that library only; if it has nothing for the machine, the answer says so.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "recall_lookup" says "lookup": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Lists the safety recalls NHTSA has issued for a vehicle's year, make and model, or for a VIN (decoded first). Shows campaign number, component, summary and remedy. It cannot say whether a recall is still open on one specific vehicle; that is checked by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with the dealer.

    Why it is in this group

    • The description's first verb is "list": a word for reading.
    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.
