## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-09-20.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 50/100
  - Malware scan not yet available for this package.

  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 63/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1476 tokens (~246/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 37/100
  - Stability observed for 11 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 71/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 75/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "shopify_graphql_query" implies "execute" and declares readOnlyHint instead, contradicting what its own name says it does.
  - An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (6)

### `shopify_list_stores` (~158 tokens)

List all Shopify stores configured for this agent.

Returns a JSON array of `{alias, domain, name, currency, auth_mode}`. The
\`name` field is the merchant's own shop name from Shopify (fetched once per
process, cached). Use this list to match user intent - e.g., a user saying
"check the outlet" maps to the store whose `name` or `domain` contains
"outlet".

If only one store is configured, `shop` can be omitted on tool calls.

Args:
    refresh: If True, bypass the shop-name cache and re-fetch from Shopify.
        Use after a merchant renames a shop in the Shopify admin.

Input parameters:

- `refresh` (boolean)

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `shopify_graphql_query` (~371 tokens)

Execute a read-only GraphQL query against a Shopify store's Admin API.

Universal entry point for reading any data the token's scopes permit:
products, variants, orders, customers, inventory, fulfillments, discounts,
locations, markets, metafields, metaobjects, segments, shop settings, etc.

Full GraphQL reference: https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql

Write mutations are rejected by design. The query string is parsed and
validated as read-only before transmission.

Idiomatic patterns:
  \- Pagination: `first: <=250`, `after: <cursor>`, read `pageInfo { hasNextPage endCursor }`.
  \- Search: pass a Shopify search string to the `query:` arg on connections,
    e.g. `orders(first: 100, query: "created_at:>=2026-04-01 financial_status:paid")`.
  \- Money: `totalPriceSet { shopMoney { amount currencyCode } }`.
  \- For datasets >10k records, use `shopify_bulk_query` instead.

Args:
    query: GraphQL document. Must be a `query` or a `fragment`. Subscription
        and mutation operations are rejected - with one narrow exception,
        `bulkOperationCancel`. For bulk exports, use `shopify_bulk_query`.
    variables: Optional variables dict passed as GraphQL `variables`.
    shop: Store alias (from `shopify_list_stores`) or domain. Required when
        multiple stores are configured; optional (auto-selected) when there's
        only one store.
    api_version: Override API version (default "2026-04"). Format "YYYY-MM".

Input parameters:

- `api_version`
- `query` (string, required)
- `shop`
- `variables`

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `shopify_graphql_introspect` (~171 tokens)

Introspect a Shopify store's Admin GraphQL schema.

Pass `type_name` to fetch a single type's fields (cheap, ~50 cost points).
Omit it for the full schema type catalog (expensive, ~800 cost points -
use sparingly).

Args:
    type_name: GraphQL type name (e.g. "Order", "Product", "Customer").
        Must match `[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*`. Omit for full schema.
    shop: Store alias or domain (see `shopify_list_stores`). Required when
        multiple stores are configured.
    api_version: Override API version (default "2026-04").

Input parameters:

- `api_version`
- `shop`
- `type_name`

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `shopify_bulk_query` (~220 tokens)

Launch an async bulk export of a read-only GraphQL query.

Use for exporting datasets too large for paginated queries (>10k records,
or anything you'd otherwise paginate hundreds of times). Shopify runs the
query in the background and produces a JSONL file with all results.

Restrictions (enforced by Shopify):
  \- Exactly one top-level connection per query.
  \- Max 5 total connections, max depth 2.
  \- Every nested connection node must select `id` without an alias.
  \- API ≤ 2025-10: one bulk op at a time per shop. API ≥ 2026-01: up to 5.

Returns the BulkOperation ID - poll with `shopify_bulk_poll`.

Args:
    query: Read-only GraphQL document with a single root connection.
    shop: Store alias or domain. Required when multiple stores are configured.
    api_version: Override API version (default "2026-04").

Input parameters:

- `api_version`
- `query` (string, required)
- `shop`

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `shopify_bulk_poll` (~168 tokens)

Poll a bulk operation's status by ID.

Statuses: CREATED, RUNNING, COMPLETED, CANCELED, EXPIRED, FAILED.
On COMPLETED, the `url` field is a pre-signed JSONL download (valid 7 days).
On FAILED, `partialDataUrl` may hold partial results; `errorCode` explains why.

Args:
    operation_id: Global ID of the bulk operation
        (format: `gid://shopify/BulkOperation/<numeric-id>`).
    shop: Store alias or domain the bulk op was launched on. Required when
        multiple stores are configured.
    api_version: Override API version (default "2026-04").

Input parameters:

- `api_version`
- `operation_id` (string, required)
- `shop`

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `shopify_shopifyql` (~388 tokens)

Run a ShopifyQL analytics query against a Shopify store.

ShopifyQL is Shopify's SQL-like reporting language. Requires `read_reports`
scope. Consumes the same cost bucket as GraphQL.

Syntax:
  FROM <dataset> SHOW <metric>[, <metric>...]
    [BY <dimension>] [GROUP BY <dim>] [WHERE <filter>]
    [SINCE -Nd UNTIL today] [ORDER BY <col> [ASC|DESC]] [LIMIT N]

Datasets: sales, orders, products, customers, inventory, sessions.
Time tokens: -Nd / -Nw / -Nm / -Nq / -Ny, or named (today, yesterday,
  this_week, last_week, this_month, last_month, last_year).

Examples:
  \- `FROM sales SHOW total_sales GROUP BY day SINCE -7d UNTIL today ORDER BY day ASC`
  \- `FROM sales SHOW total_sales BY product_title ORDER BY total_sales DESC LIMIT 10 SINCE -30d`
  \- `FROM sales SHOW returning_customer_rate GROUP BY month SINCE -6m`
  \- `FROM sales SHOW net_sales SINCE -1q UNTIL today`
  \- `FROM sessions SHOW sessions, conversion_rate GROUP BY referrer_source SINCE -14d`

Returns `tableData.columns`, `tableData.rows`, and `parseErrors`.
When parsing fails, `tableData` is `null` and `parseErrors` contains
a list of human-readable error strings (e.g. "Column 'total_sale' not found").

Args:
    query: ShopifyQL query string.
    shop: Store alias or domain. Required when multiple stores are configured.
    api_version: Override API version (default "2026-04").

Input parameters:

- `api_version`
- `query` (string, required)
- `shop`

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)
