## Tools (as reported by the server, not verified)

- `get\_repair\_cost\_estimate`: Estimate the cost of a car repair job \(parts + labor, USD, US national averages 2026\) by make and repair type. Returns low/high ranges for parts, labor, and total. Use list\_makes\_models and list\_repair\_types to discover valid slugs.
- `list\_repair\_types`: List the repair job types available for cost estimates \(slugs, typical parts cost, labor hours\). Pass a make\_slug to get only the jobs applicable to that make \(EVs skip ICE-only jobs\).
- `list\_makes\_models`: List all supported car makes and their models \(slugs, EV flag, price multiplier\). Use the make\_slug values with get\_repair\_cost\_estimate and list\_repair\_types.
- `get\_repair\_cost\_guide`: Get the full editorial cost guide for a repair type: direct answer, price range, cost breakdown table, price factors, failure symptoms, and FAQs \(US market, 2026\). Use list\_repair\_guides to discover slugs.
- `list\_repair\_guides`: List all editorial repair cost guides \(slug, title, category, price range\). Optionally filter by category: body, mechanical, glass-wheels, or electrical.
- `decode\_vin`: Decode a 17-character Vehicle Identification Number \(VIN\) into year, make, model, trim, body style, and manufacturer. Use before estimate\_vehicle\_value to get exact vehicle details.
- `estimate\_vehicle\_value`: Estimate the current US market value \(USD\) of a vehicle from year, make, model, and optional trim. Deterministic model: base price by make, trim multiplier, age-based depreciation. Useful to judge whether a repair is worth the cost.
