Is vindex live?

Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 1h ago). It answered 100% of checks over the last 30 days.

Is vindex free to use?

Yes — the hub reached it with no key and no payment.

What tools does vindex have?

5 tools: Itemized US + Canada used-vehicle closing costs (country=CA|US), Normalized NHTSA vPIC VIN decode, LLM-clustered named failure modes with verified ODI citations + reliability block + full decode, Merged US (NHTSA) + Canada (Transport Canada) recalls + full decoded vehicle, Pre-purchase report: decode + recalls + known issues + ownership costs in one call.

Is vindex safe to connect?

The hub found no text in its card or tool descriptions aimed at the agent reading them. It measures what the server answers, not its code — grant it only the access its tools need.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

• purchase-costs 0.02 USDC paid never probed

  Paid ($0.02 USDC via x402). Government-imposed closing costs of buying a used passenger vehicle, unified across both countries via `country=CA|US`. CA: any of Canada's 10 provinces + 3 territories (BC, AB, SK, MB, ON, QC, NB, NS, PE, NL, YT, NT, NU) — provincial/territorial sales tax (PST/RST/QST/HST or GST-only) plus transfer/registration/plate fees and inspection; tax is flat on the whole price at the highest bracket whose threshold the price meets (BC private 12% → 15% ≥ $125,000 → 20% ≥ $150,000); Alberta + the three territories levy no private-sale tax; dealer sales add 5% GST except in HST provinces (ON/NB/NS/PE/NL). US: any of the 50 states or DC — sales/use/excise tax, title, first-year registration, inspection, and (for dealer sales) a dealer documentation fee; special regimes handled automatically (DC tiered title-excise range, IL flat RUT-50 private-party table, SC 5% IMF capped at $500, and AK/AZ/HI/MT/NV/NH/OR no private-party sales tax). Each line carries a source URL and confidence. Figures verified 2026-07-04. Compute-first / settle-after. Free fixed-sample preview of this exact shape: GET /v1/sample/purchase-costs.

• decode 0.01 USDC paid never probed

  Paid ($0.01 USDC via x402). Decodes a 17-char VIN through NHTSA vPIC and returns the normalized decoded vehicle (make/model/year/engine/body/…) with fetch provenance, PLUS a `warranty` block giving the ORIGINAL factory new-vehicle warranty terms (basic/powertrain/corrosion/roadside/EV-battery) keyed off the decoded make + model-year. Warranty terms are the manufacturer's original coverage as sold — NOT warranty-remaining, and NOT extended-warranty campaigns, recalls, or emissions warranties. The cheapest call when you only need the decode — the same `vehicle` object is also folded into /v1/recalls and /v1/known-issues. Compute-first / settle-after. Free fixed-sample preview of this exact shape: GET /v1/sample/decode.

• known-issues 0.05 USDC paid never probed

  Paid ($0.05 USDC via x402). Clusters NHTSA owner complaints into named failure modes; EVERY cited ODI number is programmatically validated against the input complaint set (hallucination-gated) and every issue carries ≥2 verified citations. Severity signals per issue are summed from the CITED complaints only. The response also bundles a `reliability` aggregates block (top components, severity signals, US/Canada recall counts incl. Canadian units affected — reliability was merged into known-issues on 2026-07-07), the full decoded `vehicle` (same payload as /v1/decode), and `complaintsAnalyzed`, the size of the recent-weighted stratified sample the LLM actually saw (vs `complaintCount`, the total). Refuses UNCHARGED below 15 complaints (returns 200 status:insufficient_data) — but still returns the decode + reliability block for free. 90-day cache. Compute-first / settle-after. Free fixed-sample preview of this exact shape: GET /v1/sample/known-issues.

  vindexknown-issues

• recalls 0.01 USDC paid never probed

  Paid ($0.01 USDC via x402). Decodes the VIN and returns the FULL decoded vehicle (the same payload as /v1/decode is folded in here), then merges NHTSA (US) and Transport Canada (CA) recalls into one response — the only API combining both. 24h cache per source; stale served on failure. Canadian detail capped at the 25 most-recent recalls. OGL–Canada attribution. Compute-first / settle-after. Free fixed-sample preview of this exact shape: GET /v1/sample/recalls.

  vindexrecalls

• prepurchase 0.25 USDC paid never probed

  Whole-job bundle for agents advising a vehicle purchase. One payment returns the normalized VIN decode, safety recalls, known-issue/reliability summary, and CA/US purchase+ownership cost estimate for the decoded vehicle. Equivalent to 4 separate paid calls. Composed in-process from the same data as /v1/decode, /v1/recalls, /v1/known-issues and /v1/purchase-costs (no extra upstream fan-out beyond those). The decode is computed FIRST — an invalid VIN or decode failure returns UNCHARGED (no settle). The response then settles only if the decode succeeded AND at least 2 of the 3 secondary sections (recalls, known-issues, purchase-costs) are available; otherwise it returns UNCHARGED { error: 'insufficient_sections', sections: {…} }. A section that failed but was still charged appears as sections.<name>:'unavailable' with the rest of the report intact. The cost section is a jurisdiction-level estimate (the bundle takes no price/province/state) — call GET /v1/purchase-costs for an exact itemized figure. Compute-first / settle-after. Each section carries its own fetch provenance.
