compare_products

Compare two or more products side by side. Use when the user asks to compare, says 'X vs Y', or wants to decide between options. Do not use for single product lookup — use get_product instead. Returns structured comparison with shared attributes, differences, tradeoffs, and a decision hint.

Part of the La Luer — AI Skincare Commerce server.

compare_products is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call compare_products to retrieve information from La Luer — AI Skincare Commerce without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though compare_products only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so compare_products only ever does what you allow.
