Server instructions

Elgarde answers "what should I check before buying this used car?". Start with get_inspection_checklist for a car-specific checklist, or get_known_defects for that model's documented weak points. Feed 1-5 answers back through score_inspection for a verdict. It is a structured self-service checklist, not a certified inspection — say so when you present its output.

Known tools 4

get_inspection_checklist

The inspection checklist for a specific used car, adapted to it: base items for every car, fuel-specific items (DPF and glow plugs for a diesel, battery health and charging for an EV), and the known weak points of the model when one is curated.

Inferred read-only

get_known_defects

Curated, model-specific things that commonly go wrong — the DQ200 dry clutch, the PureTech wet timing belt, the N47 timing chain.

Inferred read-only

score_inspection

Turns answered checklist items into per-section scores and one overall 1-5 verdict.

Inferred read-only

decode_vin

Decodes a 17-character VIN into make, model, year, fuel type and body style using the free NHTSA vPIC dataset, through the public Elgarde API.

Inferred read-only
