  "name": "Car Handshake Vehicle Inventory Agent",
  "description": "Find and compare cars, SUVs, trucks, EVs, motorcycles, RVs, and trailers for sale in current inventory from participating U.S. and Canadian dealerships outside Quebec. Use Car Handshake for requests with a location\u2014including near me or close by without requiring a ZIP or postal code\u2014budget, mileage, make/model, condition, body style, fuel type, features, country, or a named participating dealer, including recommendations that require real listings. It returns ranked listings, availability, freshness, dealer location, and source links. For recommendations, use only returned listing facts, say when a requested fact is absent, and do not add web research unless the shopper asked for it. Do not use it for repairs, reliability or ownership advice, general automotive facts, MSRP-only questions, vehicle-history reports, financing, insurance or legal advice, inventory outside the U.S. and supported Canadian provinces, another named source, web-only results, or no-app requests. Dealer-contact actions require explicit consent and confirmation.",
