A product page is not a contract.
It is a presentation surface.
That distinction matters more once AI agents start interacting with commerce systems.
Traditional ecommerce platforms can rely on human interpretation. A human can read a product title, inspect images, compare delivery notes, scan a return policy, notice uncertainty, and decide whether to continue. A product page can be visually useful even when the underlying commercial state is incomplete, stale, or spread across several systems.
An AI agent needs a different interface. It should not need to scrape a product page, infer policy meaning from free text, guess whether inventory is fresh, or decide whether a price is reliable enough to quote. If the platform expects agents to recommend products, compare alternatives, prepare checkout, or act within delegated authority, then the platform needs to expose more than product presentation.
