What it answers

Search CarRentalList's exotic car news (new models, rental market stories, events), newest first, by words in the headline, excerpt and keywords and/or by make.

Use this when someone asks for news about a car, a make or an event (Monterey Car Week, a new Ferrari), or what is new in the exotic car world; then call get_news_article with a slug for the full text.

Without query and make: the latest articles.

When no article has every word, articles with any of them are returned (match = any).

• Read-only: it never books, changes or stores anything (annotations readOnlyHint, idempotentHint).
• Pages of at most 50 items (default 10); pass next_cursor as cursor for the next page.
• The Markdown text is capped at 8 KB; the structured result keeps every item.
• 10 s per call; 600 messages per minute per IP address.
• Results are cached for 5 minutes and carry as_of, the date of the catalog's last change.
• Prices are the daily rates companies publish; a car without one has daily_price null ("Contact for price"), never an estimate.
