Fourteen tools. Your assistant picks between them; this page is for when you want to know what it actually has access to, and why a call was refused. Every tool is scoped to the organizations you ticked at consent and runs with your own role in each. A tool your role does not permit is refused, exactly as the dashboard would refuse it.

All fourteen

Reports and queries

run_report runs one of roughly fifty named reports — revenue, conversion, AOV, attribution, funnels, top products, collection performance, returns, orders by channel or gateway or province, customer cohorts, data integrity. These are the same reports the dashboard shows, computed by the same code, so a figure in chat and a figure on the page cannot disagree. query composes instead: any measure by any dimension, filtered and bucketed. Reach for it when the question is a notch off a named report — “revenue by country by week for the last 90 days, mobile only”.
Which reports a store can answer depends on which Glood apps it has connected. A store with Glood Search but not Glood Personalization answers a different set. That is what describe_reports and describe_query are for, and why asking what exists beats guessing at a name.

Tools that look alike

They answer different halves of a catalogue question.explore_catalog returns Glood’s behavioural metrics — recommendation rank, click-through, collection-to-product-page movement. “Which products convert best” is this one.shopify_graphql returns Shopify’s own records — inventory levels, fulfilment status, metafields, order detail. “Which of them are out of stock” is this one.A question like “which of my best-converting products are out of stock” needs both, in that order.
run_report runs one of the fifty named reports. Prefer it when one fits, because those are what the dashboard shows.query composes a breakdown no report covers. It has a larger vocabulary and more ways to answer a subtly different question than the one asked, which is why the glood-query skill exists.Comparisons belong to the tool either way: both take a comparison window and compute it. A trend should never be two calls subtracted.
agents is what an agent is — its instructions, schedules, deployments and versions. Read this before proposing any change.activity is what it did — runs, the findings it raised and how often each recurred, what it read during a run, and what it currently believes. “What did it find last night” is this one.manage_agent changes things. Every write reads back a sentence naming the agent, the store and the organization.

Shopify access is read-only

shopify_graphql runs against your own Shopify Admin API, and mutations are refused — checked on the parsed document, not guessed at from the text. There is no way to write to Shopify through this connection. Customer identifiers are refused by name: email, phone, names and addresses are not returned. If something needs changing in Shopify, the assistant will tell you what and where. You make the change in Shopify admin.

Writes that ask twice

Three actions are two-step by design. The first call changes nothing and returns a review of what would happen; nothing happens until you confirm:
  • Archiving an agent
  • Stopping a deployment
  • Removing a schedule
Everything else that changes an agent reads back a sentence naming exactly what changed, on the store and organization it changed it on. That sentence is your confirmation the right target was hit — read it.

Creating an agent is not deploying one

Creating makes the agent and its instructions. It then runs nowhere and recurs never until you deploy it to a store and give it a schedule. Cron runs in each store’s own timezone.
