## The prompt

```text
Show me every pending vendor application in my marketplace. For each one, give me the name, shop name, sign-up date and anything that looks incomplete or suspicious. Recommend approve or deny with one reason. Do not approve or deny anyone until I confirm each one. If I deny someone, add my reason to the email.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: Show me every pending vendor application in my marketplace…

Assistant: 7 vendors are pending. 5 have a full shop profile. 2 have no shop description and a free email address. Calling: `wcvendors/list-vendors`, `wcvendors/get-vendor`, `wcvendors/approve-vendor`, `wcvendors/reject-vendor`.

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

Assistant: Approved 5 vendors after you confirmed. Denied 1 with your reason. 1 is still pending until you decide.
