What the owner asked

Whenever someone places an order, I want them to get a short thank-you email from me,
addressed with their first name.

Set that up as an automation inside the shop so it runs by itself from now on. Find out first
which triggers and actions this shop actually supports and which customer fields you can put in
the mail — then build it on the order trigger, switch it on, and read it back to confirm it exists
and is active.

Write the email itself as well: subject and body, warm but short, in the shop's language, with
the first name filled in dynamically. Show me the exact text you used.

The mechanical work is solid and fully grounded: capabilities were discovered in two stages, the workflow was created on orderPlaced with sendMail, activated, and read back, and both the state diff and the screenshot confirm it. The failure is in the handover — the answer paraphrases the placeholders instead of showing the exact stored subject and body, and adds two claims (BCC unavailable, 'fires: true bestätigt, dass die Automation läuft') that the run's own evidence does not support. A shop owner ends up with a working automation but an inaccurate picture of what it actually contains.

Ground truth

Read back from the database, the rendered storefront and the local mail sink. No model involved.

Result	Check	Weight
PASS	A workflow was created on a trigger matching order/bestellung created: #3956 orderPlaced → sendMail	3
PASS	That workflow is active isActive=1	2
PASS	Its action is an e-mail action action=sendMail	2
PASS	Called describe_workflow_capabilities before creating describe at #0, create at #2	2
PASS	The stored workflow arguments contain a first-name placeholder placeholder present in arguments	2

Judgement

Scored by opus, which saw only the evidence bundle.

Criterion	Score	Reason
`correctness` The workflow is on the right trigger, sends mail, is active, and personalises with a real field name from this shop.	8/10	create_workflow (call #2) built orderPlaced -> sendMail with isActive:true, toMail {$customer->cMail}, toName/subject/body using {$customer->cVorname} plus {$order->cBestellNr}, and state_diff.json plus the admin screenshot both show the active 'Bestellung eingegangen / E-Mail senden' row; only doubt is that the orderPlaced placeholder list visible in call #1's response is all {$order->...}/{$global->...}, so the $customer scope was assumed rather than shown.
`method` Capabilities were discovered before building; the placeholder syntax matches what the shop documented.	8/10	Two-stage discovery — a bare describe_workflow_capabilities to enumerate triggers/actions, then a targeted describe scoped to {triggers:[orderPlaced],actions:[sendMail]} to read placeholders and sendMail arguments — before creating, then a get_workflow readback (retried correctly after the string-vs-integer id error), with Smarty syntax matching the documented {$obj->field} form.
`copy_quality` The email text is short, warm, correct in the shop's language, and would not embarrass the owner.	6/10	The German is short, correct and warm and uses the shop's language, but 'Wir freuen uns auf die Zusammenarbeit mit dir' is agency/B2B phrasing that reads oddly for a one-off shop order, and the informal Du plus the unbranded 'Dein Team' sign-off were chosen without any check of the shop's existing tone.
`communication` The exact subject and body are shown back to the owner.	4/10	ANSWER.md shows a prettified version, not the exact text the owner asked for: the stored '{$customer->cVorname}' is rendered as '{Vorname}' and the real '{$order->cBestellNr}' is replaced by the invented prose '[Nummer wird automatisch eingefügt]', so the owner cannot copy, verify or edit what is actually in the shop.

Unsupported claims

'Nicht verfügbar und daher nicht versucht: mehrere Empfänger, BCC, alternative Templates' — the run's own WORKLOG records bcc as an available optional sendMail parameter, so calling it unavailable is contradicted by the evidence.
'Deine Bestellnummer: [Nummer wird automatisch eingefügt]' is presented as the mail body text, but no such string was ever stored; the stored body contains {$order->cBestellNr}.
'Der Authentizitätsmarker (fires: true) bestätigt, dass die Automation läuft' — fires:true is only a stored flag from the create/get response; mail.json is empty and no order was ever placed, so nothing in the evidence shows the automation has run.

Highlight

It scoped the second describe_workflow_capabilities call to exactly the chosen trigger and action, pulled the real placeholder and argument list from that, and shipped a workflow that the DB diff and the admin screenshot independently confirm is present and active.

Weakness

The owner explicitly asked to be shown the exact text, and the answer instead paraphrases the placeholders ({Vorname}, '[Nummer wird automatisch eingefügt]') so the text on screen does not match the text in the shop.

What this costs to run

Setting it up

this benchmark run

$0.09

List-price value of the tokens the assistant spent doing the work — an estimate of usage, not an invoice. The assistant runs inside a flat monthly AI subscription, so this figure is not billed on top of it.

Running what it built

ongoing, per shop

not measured

Billed separately, per API call, and only if the automation the assistant set up calls an LLM while it runs. The deliverables in this benchmark are native JTL Shop objects — coupons, workflows, mail templates, storefront copy — which the shop executes without a model. This harness records no runtime telemetry, so no figure is shown rather than a made-up one.
