description	Extract a license plate number from an image URL using the CarsXE Plate Recognition API. Use this when a user shares a photo of a vehicle or license plate and wants to identify the plate number.

When the user shares an image containing a license plate and wants to extract the plate number:

1. Make an HTTP POST request:
   • URL: https://api.carsxe.com/platerecognition?key={CARSXE_API_KEY}&source=claude_plugin
   • Headers: Content-Type: application/json
   • Body:

     {
       "image": "{IMAGE_URL}"
     }
     

2. Display the extracted plate number and confidence score.
3. Offer to immediately decode the plate using the plate-decoder skill.
4. If the image is unclear, suggest the user retry with a better photo.
5. If the API key is missing, tell the user to set the CARSXE_API_KEY environment variable.
