## About CarsXE with LuumenAI

Connect CarsXE and the agent can look up a vehicle the way your team does: decode a VIN into specifications, check recalls, pull title and salvage history, estimate market value, or read a license plate from an image. When you need to check a whole fleet, it submits a recall batch of up to 10,000 VINs as an approved step. Authentication is by API key.

## Example tools

Read-only (11 in total):

- `CARSXE_CHECK_LIEN_AND_THEFT` — Retrieve reportable US lien and theft events for a VIN.
- `CARSXE_DECODE_LICENSE_PLATE` — Look up vehicle identity from a license plate using CarsXE's current global v2 decoder.
- `CARSXE_DECODE_OBD_CODE` — Translate an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code into a readable diagnosis.
- `CARSXE_GET_MARKET_VALUE` — Estimate wholesale, retail, and trade-in values for a VIN using CarsXE's current v2 valuation, optionally adjusted for state, mileage, and condition.
- `CARSXE_GET_RECALL_BATCH` — Make exactly one read request for a CarsXE recall batch.
- `CARSXE_GET_VEHICLE_HISTORY` — Retrieve title, brand, junk/salvage, insurance, VIN-change, and historical title records for a VIN.
- `CARSXE_GET_VEHICLE_IMAGES` — Find up to 10 vehicle photos by make and model, with optional year, trim, angle, image type, size, color, quality, transparency, and license filters.
- `CARSXE_GET_VEHICLE_RECALLS` — Find safety recall campaigns either for one VIN or for a year, make, and model.

Write and destructive (1 in total, approval required by default):

- `CARSXE_SUBMIT_RECALL_BATCH` — Create one asynchronous CarsXE recall-check batch for 1 to 10,000 VIN entries.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does LuumenAI connect to CarsXE?

Authorize once with API token. Luumen lists the scopes each action needs before you approve the connection, and credentials never appear in the chat.

### Can LuumenAI change things in CarsXE on its own?

Read actions answer immediately. Anything that writes is shown as a plan and requires approval by default. Administrators configure that per tool.

### Is there an audit trail?

Every call to CarsXE — read or write, approved or declined — is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result.
