Just curious if anyone had any opinions on this.

When a good cleric summons an animal (via spell) to battle for her, what should be the considerations regarding alignment if any.

Let's say for an example, a good cleric summons a celestial monkey to open a chest she knows is trapped, or gets a celestial owl to hold off a group of orcs whilst the party escapes.


...or gets a summoned dolphin to plug a hole with it's body, etc...

The caster knows the summoned creatures cannot be killed. There are no alignment considerations with the possible exception of who the cleric instructs the summoned creature to attack.
