## The prompt

```text
Read my global commission rate. Then check each active vendor and list the vendors with a custom rate. Show the vendor, their rate, the global rate and their sales in the last 30 days. Point out custom rates that look out of date or much higher than the rest. Do not change anything.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: Read my global commission rate…

Assistant: Your global rate is 80% to the vendor. 9 of 86 vendors have a custom rate, from 70% to 95%. Calling: `wcvendors/get-commission-settings`, `wcvendors/list-vendors`, `wcvendors/get-vendor`.

Assistant: 2 vendors on 95% have had no sales in 30 days. 1 vendor on 70% is now your number 2 seller.
