    Description, as the server wrote it
    Run a privacy-minimized preflight using coarse vehicle, document, access, and location facts. It identifies what needs case review but never accepts or rejects a vehicle. Use submit_car_donation or the human form for an actual Cars Helping Kids review.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "submit_car_donation" says "submit": a word for a change.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Submit an adult donor's authorized vehicle-donation request to Cars Helping Kids for case review. Use only after the donor reviews the exact contact, vehicle, and pickup details and explicitly authorizes this submission, confirms ownership or legal authority and accuracy, accepts https://carshelpingkids.org/terms and https://carshelpingkids.org/privacy, and permits donation-related phone, text, or email contact. This additive action creates a donor record and notifications; it does not transfer ownership or guarantee acceptance, pickup, value, documents, or a deduction. Reuse submission_id for safe retries.

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.
