Where the workflow shifted
Shopify agent documentation points to the same foundation: agents need stable access to products, variants, inventory, and purchase limits.
Write SKU, variant, inventory, delivery region, return policy, and suitable audience as fields before asking an agent to compare products.
Tool names are not outcomes
The signal matters when it clarifies the buying path, not when it adds another isolated commerce feature.
Check permissions and failure
- Keep `ai-ecommerce` linked to this issue's authorization and checkout boundary
- Keep the test narrow: one priority product or checkout flow before expanding recommendation, authorization, payment, and support work
What still needs proof
Unstable product facts can push an agent to recommend unavailable or unsuitable items. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
