By 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, past accidents, title status, or ownership:
- Call the CarsXE History API:
GET https://api.carsxe.com/history?key={CARSXE_API_KEY}&vin={VIN}&source=claude_plugin - Summarize the history report:
- Number of previous owners
- Accident / damage records
- Title status (clean, salvage, rebuilt, lemon)
- Odometer history
- Theft records
- Clearly highlight any red flags (salvage title, accidents, odometer rollback).
- If the API key is missing, tell the user to set the
CARSXE_API_KEYenvironment variable.
