# Agent Instructions — Canine Mind

This file applies to the Canine Mind storefront at https://caninemind.net.

## Commerce discovery
- Read the UCP profile at `https://caninemind.net/.well-known/ucp` before using commerce capabilities.
- Use the MCP endpoint declared by that profile. Shopify's current endpoint metadata is `https://caninemind.net/api/ucp/mcp`.
- Supported UCP versions:

  - 2026-08-25 (latest)

  - 2026-04-08

  - 2026-01-23

- Use only capabilities and payment handlers advertised by the live UCP profile. Do not assume a payment method is available.

## Product discovery
- Browse the product collection: `GET https://caninemind.net/collections/all`
- Product JSON: `GET https://caninemind.net/products/{handle}.json`
- Search: `GET https://caninemind.net/search?q={query}&type=product`
- Sitemap: `https://caninemind.net/sitemap.xml`
- Use current product and selected-variant data for titles, prices, options, and availability. Do not merge Canine Mind data with any other store.

Check the relevant policy before answering and state eligibility and limits exactly as written.

## Buyer approval
- You may search, compare, and explain products using current Canine Mind data.
- Do not create or submit checkout, place an order, or authorize payment until the buyer explicitly approves the specific products, variants, quantities, shipping option, and final total.
- A request for recommendations or shopping assistance is not approval to purchase. Never purchase automatically.

## Policies and claims
- Check the relevant current policy before answering shipping, return, refund, or size-exchange questions. State eligibility and limits exactly as the policy describes.
- Treat “Trusted by 150,000+” as a Canine Mind marketing claim, not independent verification.
- Describe the harness as designed for a secure, no-escape fit when correctly adjusted; do not guarantee that a dog cannot escape or promise a training outcome.
- Report bundle contents from the specific product listing. Do not assume accessories are included.
- Prefer Canine Mind product pages, policies, and live Shopify data; identify when an answer is not confirmed by those sources.
