Shows which parts of the vehicle consumers report the most problems with (e.g. brakes, engine, electrical system). Useful for identifying systemic vehicle defect patterns. Args: make: Vehicle manufacturer name (e.g. 'Toyota', 'Ford'). model: Vehicle model name (e.g. 'Camry', 'F-150'). year: Model year (e.g. 2023).

Returns fatal motor vehicle crash data for a state, including total fatalities, fatalities by person type (drivers, passengers, pedestrians), and alcohol-involved crashes. Args: state: Two-digit state FIPS code (e.g. '06' for California, '48' for Texas) or two-letter state abbreviation (e.g. 'CA', 'TX'). year: Year for statistics (e.g. 2022). Defaults to the most recent available year.

Description, as the server wrote it Get vehicle safety recalls from NHTSA. Search for recalls by make, model, and/or year. Returns recall campaigns including the defect description, remedy, and affected vehicles. At least one filter (make, model, or year) should be provided. Args: make: Vehicle manufacturer name (e.g. 'Toyota', 'Ford', 'Honda'). model: Vehicle model name (e.g. 'Camry', 'F-150', 'Civic'). year: Model year (e.g. 2023).
local_vehicle_safety_profileGet a vehicle safety profile using national complaint and recall trends.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The description's first verb is "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it Get a vehicle safety profile using national complaint and recall trends. NHTSA complaints are not geocoded by state, so this returns national-level trends as context for local community safety assessments. Includes the most recent recalls and top complained-about vehicle makes. Args: state: Two-letter state abbreviation (e.g. 'CA', 'TX'). Used for crash statistics; complaint data is national.
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.
