When the user provides a VIN that appears to be from a non-US vehicle (European, Asian, etc.):
- Make an HTTP GET request to the CarsXE International VIN Decoder API:
GET https://api.carsxe.com/v1/international-vin-decoder?key={CARSXE_API_KEY}&vin={VIN}&source=codex_plugin - Present the decoded data: country of manufacture, make, model, year, engine, transmission, body style.
- Note this endpoint is optimized for international VINs outside the US market.
- If the API key is missing, tell the user to set the
CARSXE_API_KEYenvironment variable (see AGENTS.md).
