## The prompt

```text
List every vendor product that waits for approval. For each one, check the name, price, description and images against a normal product in my store. Recommend approve or send back. For each product I send back, write a short, friendly reason the vendor can act on. Do not approve or send back anything until I confirm.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: List every vendor product that waits for approval…

Assistant: 14 products wait for approval from 5 vendors. 3 have no images and 2 have a price of 0. Calling: `wcvendors/list-pending-products`, `woocommerce/products-query`, `wcvendors/approve-product`, `wcvendors/reject-product`.

Assistant: This will make changes in WooCommerce. Do you want me to go ahead?

Assistant: Published 9 products. Sent 5 back as drafts with a reason, so each vendor got a change request email.
