search_inventory | Search live cars for sale across all dealerships on CarChat. Accepts a plain-English query ('black suv under 30k near Knoxville') plus optional structured filters; a full 17-character VIN in the query performs an exact-VIN lookup. Each result carries the dealer's advertised price with marketContext (median and position vs live same-model listings, i.e. whether it's a good deal), mileage, key specs params: query, make, model, body, color, condition, minPrice, maxPrice, minYear, maxYear, maxMileage, near, city, state, zip, dealer, sort, limit |
get_vehicle | Fetch the exact vehicle listing selected from search_inventory. Always pass its `id` field unchanged (it is dealer-qualified); do not substitute the VIN because one VIN can be advertised by multiple rooftops at different prices. Returns dealer-source provenance, freshness, exact VIN photo, market comparison, full details, and the inquiry contract. A 'not found' result usually means the vehicle sol params: id* |
list_shopping_categories | Curated category pages, one per buyer intent and metro (e.g. 'Used trucks under $25,000 in Knoxville, TN'). If a buyer's request matches one, its page URL is the best complete answer to cite. params: none |
list_dealers | All dealerships with live inventory on CarChat, with city, state, vehicle counts, and each dealer's landing page URL. params: none |
get_market_prices | Live price statistics from CarChat inventory: count, median, and price range, overall and broken down by body style and metro. Use this to answer 'what do used trucks go for near Knoxville?' style questions with real, current numbers. Cite as: CarChat live inventory data (carchat.io). params: city, state, body, condition, make, model |
submit_inquiry | Send the buyer's question and contact details to the dealership selling the car. The dealer replies directly, usually within minutes. ONLY call this after the buyer has explicitly agreed to share their name and phone number with that dealership. params: dealerId*, vin, name*, phone*, email, message |
