Server instructions

CheckMyVIN exposes the NHTSA VPIC VIN decoder and live US federal recall data. Use decode_vin when the user gives a 17-character VIN; use check_recalls when they ask about open recalls for a specific make/model/year. All data comes from official NHTSA sources — no inventory, pricing, or accident history.

Known tools 2

decode_vin

Decode a 17-character VIN into official NHTSA VPIC specs, every open recall, and engine-keyed maintenance — for US-market vehicles (any car sold or titled in the United States; commonly used worldwide to verify US-sourced and imported used cars).
