  "Authentication": "Public. Gregory explicitly authorized seamless exact-match recognition without a verification code.",
  "InstructionForAI": "Call this immediately after the customer supplies the name and contact information the order should be placed under. If ReturningCustomer is true, thank CustomerFirstName for returning to BusinessName and use RecentOrders naturally.

    "When both contact methods are supplied and identify different customers, no customer history is returned. The AI is instructed to ask the customer to verify their information.",
    "A successful match returns at most the 10 most recent orders. Each order contains only OrderDate and item ProductName, Quantity and OrderedForName.",
    "The endpoint does not return contact information, addresses, prices, totals, customer keys, order keys, invoice information or numeric IDs.",
    "When no customer matches, SuccessCode remains SUCCESS because the check completed. CustomerFound and ReturningCustomer are false and RecentOrders is empty.",
