Changes things 1Claude Code: ask
  • check_vin_recallsUse this when the user wants a vin decoder, recall check by vin, or batch vin decoder with vehicle recalls and XLSX and CSV reports from public NHTSA data.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
    Use this when the user wants a vin decoder, recall check by vin, or batch vin decoder with vehicle recalls and XLSX and CSV reports from public NHTSA data. Up to 50 VINs and 40 source requests per call; campaigns apply to the year, make and model. Do not use for VIN-specific repair status or booking repairs.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "find_recalls_by_vehicle" says "find": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use this when the user wants a car recall lookup, vehicle recalls, or fleet recall check by model year, make and model without a VIN, with public NHTSA data and XLSX and CSV reports. Up to 20 vehicles and 40 source requests per call. Do not use for VIN-specific repair status or booking repairs.

    • idempotentHint: true
    • openWorldHint: true

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.
