What commerce teams should expose, verify, and continuously synchronize so agents can recommend products without inventing price, stock, or policy details.
Start with truthful product state
Agents need stable product identity, canonical URLs, variants, current prices, availability, shipping constraints, and return policies. If those facts only appear after client-side rendering, they need a verified machine-readable representation.
Watch the catalog, not just the sitemap
Product creation, publication, unpublication, variant changes, price updates, and inventory transitions should trigger scoped regeneration. A nightly full rebuild is both slower and harder to verify.
Keep checkout claims bounded
Discovery and recommendation can be public. Cart, quote, reservation, and checkout actions require identity, permissions, idempotency, and provider-specific confirmation. Access readiness should come before delegated action.
Verify after every change
A successful API response does not prove public behavior. Re-fetch the published asset through the storefront edge, validate its schema and links, and compare its revision to the intended catalog event.
