Fetch vehicle complaints for your app
Cline uses `get_vehicle_complaints` to query the DOT Transportation / 美国交通部 records for specific models. It pulls the text of owner complaints into your project for analysis. This allows you to build features that warn users about common defects. Cline writes the code to ingest this data and display it in your dashboard.
Verify manufacturer information
The agent calls `get_manufacturer_info` and `list_all_makes` to populate your dropdowns or filters. It ensures your app always lists correct and current manufacturers. This is a one-step process for Cline. You ask it to update your list of makes, and it fetches the fresh data from the source.
Perform safety audits at scale
Cline chains `get_safety_recalls` and `get_vehicle_safety_ratings` to run bulk audits on your vehicle inventories. It flags any asset that fails federal safety checks. It writes the validation logic into your files based on the API response. You see the diff immediately, showing exactly which vehicles need attention.
