FAQ

Questions Edmunds owners ask.

  • 01

    Can my AI decode a full 17-digit VIN using this server?

    Yes! Use the decode_vin capability with a full 17-digit VIN. Your agent will return detailed vehicle specifications, including make, model, year, and trim details.

  • 02

    How do I find the engine and transmission options for a specific car style?

    You can use the get_engines and get_transmissions capabilities by passing the unique style_id of the vehicle. This will retrieve complete technical specifications for that specific configuration.

  • 03

    What is a Squish VIN and how do I query it?

    A Squish VIN consists of the first 11 digits of a VIN minus the 9th digit (check digit). You can query it using the get_squish_vin capability to identify vehicle details when a full VIN is not available.
