    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_known_issues" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use when the user asks what commonly goes wrong, about reliability, or about a specific symptom. mode='reviewed' is Wrench.Pro's human-reviewed analysis — cite it. mode='raw' means no review yet: say 'no reviewed Known Issues yet' and present rawTopComponents. mode='none': say there's no complaint data. Never invent issues.

    Annotations the server declares

    • title: Human-reviewed Known Issues (clustered owner complaints)
    • readOnlyHint: true
  • get_maintenanceUse when the user asks about service intervals, what's due, or what a service should cost.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_maintenance" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use when the user asks about service intervals, what's due, or what a service should cost. Pass mileage when known. Ranges are estimates and marked approximate — present them that way. 'Pro only' means the job isn't realistic DIY: recommend a shop instead of giving repair instructions.

    Annotations the server declares

    • title: Maintenance schedule with Dealer/Shop/DIY price ranges
    • readOnlyHint: true
  • get_recallsUse when the user asks specifically about recalls or safety campaigns.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_recalls" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use when the user asks specifically about recalls or safety campaigns. Requires exact slugs from resolve_vehicle. Always tell the user to confirm against their own VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls before acting on safety issues.

    Annotations the server declares

    • title: NHTSA recalls for a vehicle
    • readOnlyHint: true
  • get_vehicle_summaryUse for broad questions about a vehicle ('should I buy it', 'what goes wrong with it', 'tell me about it').No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_vehicle_summary" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use for broad questions about a vehicle ('should I buy it', 'what goes wrong with it', 'tell me about it'). Requires exact slugs from resolve_vehicle. Pass mileage when the user mentioned their odometer to get due-now service items, and zip when the user mentioned a US ZIP code so the card can link nearby shops. End your answer with the canonical Wrench.Pro link and the attribution line from the result.

    Annotations the server declares

    • title: Full vehicle report: recalls + known issues + maintenance
    • readOnlyHint: true
  • resolve_vehicleUse FIRST whenever the user names a vehicle ('2017 Ford Escape', "'17 F150", 'my Honda Civic') unless you already have exact slugs from a previous call.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "resolve_vehicle" says "resolve": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use FIRST whenever the user names a vehicle ('2017 Ford Escape', "'17 F150", 'my Honda Civic') unless you already have exact slugs from a previous call. Pass the user's words in `query`. Returns kind=exact (use the returned slugs), suggest (ask the user to confirm one), needsYear (ask ONE question listing availableYears), needsModel, or notFound (say Wrench.Pro doesn't cover it — never guess).

    Annotations the server declares

    • title: Resolve a vehicle to exact year/make/model
    • readOnlyHint: 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.
