Picked the app to quit by part of its name and quit unrelated apps too

Computer maintenance

Situation: An app has frozen, and the AI is asked to quit just that one.
What the AI did: Without checking what it would hit, it ran a command that stops everything whose name partly matches, and stopped unrelated apps along with the frozen one.
How to ask next time (the operator's example): "Before stopping anything, show me a list of everything that method would stop. Stop only the one that froze. If it would also hit anything else, don't stop it; tell me first."
One question to ask: Is there a list of everything that method would stop?
Check it yourself: On macOS and Linux, pgrep -fl <name> lists what pkill -f <name> would stop. Run it first; if more than one line comes back, stop the one process by its ID (kill <PID>) instead.
