WHAT IT DOES

What create_draft_order does on AdminAgent

AI agents use create_draft_order to create or update resources in AdminAgent — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AdminAgent environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_draft_order needs a policy

The tool creates new data (draft orders) in a Shopify store, which is a Write operation. Severity is high because draft orders can be used to set up fraudulent or unauthorized sales that incur financial liability once confirmed, and misuse by an AI agent could create many unwanted orders or expose payment handling.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_draft_order'; no description provided. In Shopify, draft orders are created but not yet finalized, allowing reversible creation of orders before payment capture.
