## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability saylor-innovations-vehicle-safety-ratings-bcd8733f
```

Example prompt: What are the NHTSA safety ratings for a 2022 Toyota Camry — I want to see the overall, front crash, side crash, and rollover scores, plus whether it has electronic stability control and lane departure warning?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, per-variant NHTSA 5-star crash test data including equipment flags (ESC, FCW, LDW) for a specific vehicle. Ideal for car-buying research agents, safety compliance checks, fleet management tools, or any workflow that needs to programmatically compare vehicle safety ratings. Prefer this over scraping NHTSA directly for a clean JSON response at low cost.

## Known failure modes

- Vehicle not found in NHTSA database — unrated or pre-2000 models may return empty variants
- Invalid or misspelled make/model/year returns no results
- Some variants may have null star ratings if not yet tested
- Missing required query parameters (make, model, year) returns an error
- Network or upstream NHTSA API unavailability causes request failure

## How this service works

Car safety ratings - NHTSA 5-star overall, front, side and rollover scores per variant with ESC, collision and lane warning equipment

## Output

Returns a list of vehicle variants for the requested make/model/year, each with NHTSA star ratings (overall, front crash, side crash, rollover), rollover probability percentage, and equipment flags for electronic stability control, forward collision warning, and lane departure warning. Also includes any associated recalls, complaints, and investigations, plus a timestamp of when the check was run and the data source.
