182 of Shopify Graphql's 319 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Shopify Graphql, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:
{
"add_cash_transaction": {
"deny_if": [
{
"conditions": [],
"on_deny": "Requires human approval."
}
]
}
} Financial tools should be explicitly enabled per use case, not open by default.
{
"cancel_fulfillment_order": {
"deny_if": [
{
"conditions": [],
"on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
}
]
}
} Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.
{
"activate_location": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "activate_location_per_hour",
"window": "hour",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
} Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.
{
"accept_fulfillment_request": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "accept_fulfillment_request_per_minute",
"window": "minute",
"max": 60,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
} Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.
Instant setup, no code required.
Other MCP servers with similar tools — same risk classification, starter policies for each.
Yes. The Shopify Graphql server exposes 10 financial tools including add_cash_transaction, capture_order_payment, create_gift_card. Without a policy, an autonomous agent can call these with no spend caps, no rate limits, and no approval flow. PolicyLayer lets you block financial tools by default, require human approval, or set per-tool rate limits — enforced on every call.
Yes. The Shopify Graphql server exposes 43 destructive tools including cancel_fulfillment_order, cancel_order, cancel_subscription_contract. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.
The Shopify Graphql server has 125 write tools including activate_location, activate_subscription_contract, add_line_items_to_order. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach Shopify Graphql.
319 tools across 5 categories: Destructive, Execute, Financial, Read, Write. 137 are read-only. 182 can modify, create, or delete data.
Register the Shopify Graphql MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.
