| name | vehicle-history |
| description | Retrieve a vehicle history report from a VIN using the CarsXE API. Use this when a user wants to know a car's history — past owners, accidents, title status, odometer readings, or whether it's been in a crash.
|
When the user asks about a vehicle's history and provides a VIN:
- Use the
carsxe_history tool with the VIN provided.
- Summarize the key findings:
- Number of previous owners
- Accident/damage records
- Title status (clean, salvage, rebuilt, flood)
- Odometer history
- Theft records
- Clearly highlight any red flags such as salvage title, accidents, or odometer rollback.
- If the API key is missing, tell the user to configure it by running
gemini extensions config carsxe.
