search_listingsSearch by vehicle, source, tier, price, year, mileage, or result limit.
Search the live directory, open a listing’s economics, and carry every unknown into the recommendation. Use the MCP bridge inside Codex or Claude Code, or call the same API from the terminal.
Keep the key in your environment. Do not paste it into a prompt, commit it, or place it in a shared MCP file.
The CLI is the fastest way to verify the URL, key, subscription, and current directory.

The portable skill defines the search-to-verification workflow, quota behavior, and the fields every recommendation must disclose.

Open every candidate you might recommend. For each one, report the
maximum acquisition price, expected profit, source URL, snapshot time,
and every unknown that could change the decision. Do not recommend a
bid when the evidence is too thin.search_listingsSearch by vehicle, source, tier, price, year, mileage, or result limit.
get_listingOpen one candidate’s ceiling, economics, source evidence, and unknowns.
directory_statsCheck directory size, source coverage, and snapshot time before broad claims.
AutoArb has no automatic bidding or purchasing pathway. It gives your agent the arithmetic and provenance needed for a decision you can check.
