No. A major requirement for a good assassin though is the ability to either find or create the right circumstances for an assassination. You're right that doing it with wolves might be tough in many situations (seems like wolf summons wouldn't work in desert, swamps, or as you say, cities). I'd expect the assassin might try ruses to tempt commanders out into the woods in order to use a wolf-summoning trap. Or if the wolves could really be controlled, smuggling them to an unexpected place in town - if it worked it would add a surprise element! Or maybe the item summons them in the astral-plane-crossing sense.
However, there is certainly room for more detail in determining the chances of successful assassination by different means in different circumstances.
