Example prompt: Can you generate a distribution histogram of net merchandise sales from my retail data — I have 10 rows with gross sales, discounts, and returns figures — and split them into 8 bins so I can see how the values are spread out?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a local, offline-style distribution analysis of net merchandise sales computed from supplied retail figures — particularly when you want configurable bin counts and do not need live inventory, platform fees, or order data. Ideal for scenario analysis and exploratory data analysis on datasets of up to 200 rows without external account access.

## Known failure modes

- Fewer than 2 rows provided — minimum 2 rows required
- More than 200 rows submitted — exceeds maxItems limit
- Bins value outside 1–30 range — validation error returned
- Negative values for gross_merchandise_sales, discounts, or returns — rejected by schema
- Missing required fields (gross_merchandise_sales, discounts, or returns) in any row — schema validation failure
- All rows have identical net values — histogram collapses to single bin
