# merchant_account_status WHY THE MERCHANT CENTER ACCOUNT IS OR IS NOT SERVING, in one read. Do not trust the program state on its own: an account can report Shopping ads and free listings as ENABLED and serve in ZERO countries, because Google counts a region as active only where every requirement for that program is met. This reports the active regions, the unmet requirements Google names with its own help link for each, and then the eight account settings that explain them \u2014 whether the homepage is CLAIMED (unclaimed stops the whole account serving), whether business info has an address, a verified phone and a customer service contact, whether any active shipping service covers the countries you sell to, the return policies, whether the Merchant Center terms have been accepted, plus autofeed and automatic improvements. An account with no shipping settings at all is reported as not configured, which is an account state and not a failed read. Anything that genuinely could not be read comes back null with a warning, which means unknown rather than missing. Read-only, free.

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets ## Use case AI agents call merchant_account_status to retrieve information from Hermoso without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Hermoso: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "merchant_account_status": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Hermoso (895) - `answer_google_business_question` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/answer-google-business-question.md - `apple_ads_change_history` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/apple-ads-change-history.md - `associate_linkedin_conversion_campaigns` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/associate-linkedin-conversion-campaigns.md - `cancel_openai_ads_audience_operation` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/cancel-openai-ads-audience-operation.md - `cancel_scheduled` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/cancel-scheduled.md - `cancel_stripe_subscription` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/cancel-stripe-subscription.md - `clear_sheet_range` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/clear-sheet-range.md - `create_analytics_custom_dimension` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/create-analytics-custom-dimension.md - `create_openai_ads_campaign` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/create-openai-ads-campaign.md - `delete_analytics_key_event` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-analytics-key-event.md - `delete_apple_ads_object` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-apple-ads-object.md - `delete_bluesky_post` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-bluesky-post.md - `delete_brand` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-brand.md - `delete_creator` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-creator.md - `delete_dm_automation` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-dm-automation.md - `delete_drive_file` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-drive-file.md - `delete_google_ads_object` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-google-ads-object.md - `delete_google_business_post` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-google-business-post.md - `delete_instagram_dm_automation` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-instagram-dm-automation.md - `delete_linkedin_ads_object` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-linkedin-ads-object.md - `delete_linkedin_comment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-linkedin-comment.md - `delete_linkedin_lead_subscription` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-linkedin-lead-subscription.md - `delete_merchant_data_source` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-merchant-data-source.md - `delete_merchant_product` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-merchant-product.md - `delete_messenger_marketing_campaign` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-messenger-marketing-campaign.md - `delete_meta_audience` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-meta-audience.md - `delete_meta_catalog` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-meta-catalog.md - `delete_meta_object` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-meta-object.md - `delete_microsoft_ads_object` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-microsoft-ads-object.md - `delete_microsoft_merchant_product` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso/delete-microsoft-merchant-product.md - …and 865 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/hermoso.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
