Recipe: review the WooCommerce catalog

Use this read-only recipe for products, variations, and catalog counts. POM AI MCP does not expose orders or customers.

Review the WooCommerce catalog for [CRITERIA] without making changes. Call
wc_get_store_stats for overall counts, then list products in bounded pages.
Retrieve individual products when a finding depends on descriptions,
attributes, categories, stock, or pricing. For variable products, read the
variation list and retrieve specific variations when stock verification is
required. Report product IDs and SKUs, confirmed findings, and proposed fixes.
Do not inspect orders or customer records and do not call a write tool.

Useful criteria include missing SKUs, inconsistent regular and sale prices, drafts awaiting review, variable products without expected combinations, missing featured media, or category misclassification.

Product listings cap results and do not provide the catalog total; wc_get_store_stats provides aggregate counts. Variation listings omit stock detail, so do not label stock as missing until the individual variation has been read.

Keep recommendations separate from mutations. Product deletion is not exposed, and category or attribute writes replace sets, so remediation needs a carefully reviewed payload.
