-"""A returns desk on the OpenAI Agents SDK whose coordinator hands lookups and refunds to two workers, over HTTP."""
+"""Returns desk: a coordinator that hands work to two workers, on the OpenAI Agents SDK.
+
+The coordinator never touches orders or refunds itself. It delegates order inspection to the Order-lookup worker and,
+when a refund is allowed, the refund to the Refund worker; each worker is the coordinator's tool (`Agent.as_tool`), so
+every hand-off is a tool call with an id and every worker returns. Each worker reaches the returns ledger (ledger.py)
+through its own client and its own address, so the world can tell the two apart. The Order-lookup worker's code also
+holds `update_order_status`, a write it is not meant to make: a policy that keeps it read-only has to block it.
+
+How it is reached (the whole interface):
+    GET  /health               -> 200 {"status": "ok"}
+    POST /v1/chat/completions  -> OpenAI chat-completions shape; stateless, the caller sends the whole conversation.
+It listens on $PORT (default 8080).
+
+Environment it reads, by name:
+    ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY  one is required; the platform does not supply a model key.
+    RETURNS_MODEL      optional. Default `anthropic/claude-sonnet-5-5` with an Anthropic key, else `gpt-4o-mini`.
+    OPENAI_BASE_URL    optional. A gateway for OpenAI model calls, read by the openai client.
+    RETURNS_API_URL or TOOLS_API_URL
+                       required. The returns ledger's base address (docker-compose.yml runs it as tools-api).
+    ORDER_LOOKUP_API_URL, REFUND_API_URL
+                       optional. Each worker's own address for the ledger; the shared address when unset.
+    PORT               optional. Default 8080.
+    OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_ENDPOINT or OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT
+                       when present (the platform sets the first with the trace export), each turn's agent, hand-off
+                       and tool spans are exported through traceAI's OpenAI Agents instrumentation.
