Retrieve order status and fulfillment tracking information.
AI agents call track_order to retrieve information from Shopify Agentic MCP Gateway without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only queries and retrieves existing order and fulfillment data without any side effects. It is a read-only operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions. While it exists within a commerce context alongside more sensitive tools (execute_checkout, manage_cart), the track_order function itself is purely informational and poses minimal security risk if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool description states "Retrieve order status and fulfillment tracking information" - uses retrieval verb with no modification, creation, or deletion of data.
