Enhancements derived from https://windowsticker.org/api-docs and how-it-works; the original
contract is never mutated — these actions layer non-destructive annotations.

description: Tag the decode operation and flag it as safe, read-only and cacheable for agents.

description: Tag the PDF operation and note that 404 is an expected, non-error outcome.
update:
x-agent-safe: true
x-side-effects: none
x-expected-404: >-
A 404 means no factory label is published for this VIN; check windowSticker.available
