List customer segments.
AI agents call list_segments to retrieve information from AdminAgent without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves existing customer segment data from Shopify Admin. It is a passive read operation that does not create, modify, delete, or trigger external actions. No financial obligations or destructive operations are involved. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an AI agent could list segments but cannot harm data or operations with this tool alone.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate 'List customer segments' — a data retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or side effects.
