## Tools (9)

- `eu_safety_gate_recalls`: STUB — not yet live. EU Safety Gate (RAPEX) vehicle alerts are being added; until then this returns covered:false with the official Safety Gate URL and points to fr_recalls_* (RappelConso republishes the Safety Gate automobile alerts that concern France).
- `fr_recalls_for_model`: Official French vehicle recall notices (RappelConso, DGCCRF open data; 1663 automobile fiches 2018-01-19 → 2026-08-07) for a brand and model: fiche number, date, risks, defect description (motif, in French), commercialisation periods and the official fiche link. Omit model to list a brand. Matches by a reviewed alias table plus whole-word text match; each fiche says which.
- `fr_recalls_search`: Keyword search across all RappelConso automobile fiches (brand, model text, label, defect description, risks), newest first, optionally since a date. Text is French and lowercase ("airbag", "incendie", "takata", "batterie haute tension"). Use for cross-brand questions ("recent EV battery fire recalls in France").
- `jp_complaints_summary`: Owner defect reports filed with MLIT's 不具合情報ホットライン (19659 across 75 models): total reports for a model and the breakdown by defective device (brakes, lights, engine, body…) from the newest sample. Reports are unverified owner submissions — compare shapes, not raw counts. Accepts English or Japanese names.
- `jp_recalls_for_model`: Official Japanese recall filings (国土交通省 MLIT; 919 filings matched to 75 popular JDM models) for a make and model: notification number, date, defective device, affected vehicles, situation and remedy (Japanese originals) and the official filing PDF. Accepts English (Toyota Prius, Honda N-BOX) or Japanese (トヨタ プリウス) names.
- `uk_mot_reliability`: Real UK MOT failure data for a used car: per-category failure rates (overall and interpolated at a given mileage) and the riskiest components with typical failure mileages, for one model generation. Live proxy to whatbreaks.uk (same operator; aggregated from DfT anonymised MOT results). Use when a user is buying, comparing or maintaining a car sold in the UK. If several generations match, the result lists candidates — retry with year or the exact model name.
- `uk_mot_vehicle_search`: Search the 530 UK model generations covered by the MOT dataset by free text (e.g. "focus", "golf"). Use to check coverage or disambiguate a generation before uk_mot_reliability. Live proxy to whatbreaks.uk.
- `uk_recalls_for_model`: Official UK vehicle safety recalls (DVSA, Open Government Licence; 4876 recalls launched 2016-01-01 → 2027-02-03, 272 makes) for a make and model: recall number, launch date, concern, defect and remedy text (DVSA's English originals), build-date range, vehicles affected and a GOV.UK recall-checker link. Omitting model lists the make's recalls and model names. "Vauxhall Corsa", "vauxhall corsa" and "VAUXHALL CORSA" resolve identically; "Mercedes-Benz", "VW" and "Land Rover" are understood. Covers cars, vans, HGVs, buses, motorcycles, trailers and components, not individual VINs.
- `uk_recalls_search`: Keyword search across all served DVSA recalls (make, model names, concern, defect and remedy text), newest first, optionally since a date. Text is English ("airbag", "fire", "steering rack", "takata", "high voltage battery"); every word must appear. Suited to cross-make questions such as recent EV battery fire recalls in the UK.
