What the tool does, how to run it, and what to expect from the result.
CV = standard deviation ÷ mean × 100%. It compares variability between data sets on different scales, such as the precision of two lab assays. For 12, 7, 9, 12, 15, 3, 8 the sample SD is 3.952 and the mean 9.429, so CV = 41.92%. It is also called relative standard deviation (RSD).

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.
It depends on the field. In lab assays under 10-15% is typical; in finance a lower CV means less risk per unit of return.
When the mean is near zero or the scale has no true zero, like temperature in °C.

CV = standard deviation ÷ mean × 100%. It only makes sense for data on a ratio scale with a true zero (not °C or °F).
