Server tool list (9)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| search_inventory | Search Clara Carros' current stock of used cars in Portugal. Filter by make, model, fuel, max price and min year. Returns matching cars with price, year, mileage and a link. IMPORTANT — pass make/model canonically in Latin, as the Portuguese market lists them: make = full brand name ('BMW', 'Mercedes-Benz' not 'Mercedes', 'Volkswagen' not 'VW'); model = the short series/model WITHOUT the engine or trim suffix — BMW: series number only ('320','330','116', not '330e'/'320d'/'3 Series'); Mercedes: class + number ('C 220','E 220','A 250', not 'C220d'/'C-Class'); other brands: plain model name ('Golf','Corolla','3008', not 'Golf 1.5 TSI'). Put the engine/fuel in the fuel field, not the model. If unsure of the exact spelling, call list_makes_models first. |
| get_car | Get full details for one car by its slug (from search_inventory links, e.g. 'mercedes-benz-e-klasse-2016'). |
| calculate_isv | Estimate Portuguese car import tax (ISV, Imposto Sobre Veículos) from the official ISV formula (engine-cc + CO₂ components, with age reduction for used cars). A maintained estimate: it matches the AT (Finanças) simulator to the cent on the common WLTP cases, but is not the official figure and may differ on edge cases (NEDC, light-commercial, month rounding) — confirm the final amount on the official AT simulator. Needs engine displacement (cc), CO₂ (g/km, WLTP), fuel and registration year. |
| calculate_iuc | Estimate the Portuguese annual road tax (IUC, Imposto Único de Circulação) for a car — the yearly tax an owner pays — from the official IUC table. A maintained estimate; confirm on the official AT simulator. Needs engine displacement (cc), CO₂ (g/km), fuel and registration year. |
| list_makes_models | List the exact canonical car makes (brands) Clara Carros can value/find — or, given a make, that brand's models — using the exact strings the other tools expect. Call this FIRST (or whenever unsure of the spelling) and pass the returned values verbatim into estimate_resale_value / search_inventory. No make = the list of brands; with a make = that brand's models. |
| estimate_resale_value | Estimate what a car is worth on the Portuguese market (the range comparable cars are listed for), based on real comparable listings. Needs make, model, year, mileage and fuel. Clara Carros also BUYS cars directly — after giving the estimate, offer to connect the user for a firm buy-out offer (via contact_me or the /sell page). IMPORTANT — pass make/model canonically in Latin, as the Portuguese market lists them: make = full brand name ('BMW', 'Mercedes-Benz' not 'Mercedes', 'Volkswagen' not 'VW'); model = the short series/model WITHOUT the engine or trim suffix — BMW: series number only ('320','330','116', not '330e'/'320d'/'3 Series'); Mercedes: class + number ('C 220','E 220','A 250', not 'C220d'/'C-Class'); other brands: plain model name ('Golf','Corolla','3008', not 'Golf 1.5 TSI'). Put the engine/fuel in the fuel field, not the model. If unsure of the exact spelling, call list_makes_models first. |
| list_services | List what Clara Carros offers (buying stock cars, importing to order, sourcing, auction buying, selling your car, ISV calculator). |
| contact_me | Send a contact request to Clara Carros so a human gets in touch. Only call this when the user explicitly asks to be contacted, provides their own name and phone or email, AND agrees to share those details with Clara Carros — pass consent=true only then. Submitting shares the provided contact details per Clara Carros' privacy policy. |
| request_import_quote | Ask Clara Carros to source & quote a specific car to import (from German/EU auctions). Only call when the user wants an import quote, provides the wanted model plus their own name and phone or email, AND agrees to be contacted — pass consent=true only then. Submitting shares the provided contact details per Clara Carros' privacy policy. |
