## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "fetch_full_docs",
    "arguments": {}

## Why fetch_full_docs is rated Low

This tool only retrieves documentation—a passive information-gathering operation. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The sibling tools (introspect_admin_schema, learn_shopify_api, search_docs_chunks, validate_*) confirm this is a documentation/reference server. Misuse risk is minimal since reading documentation cannot damage systems or data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'fetch_full_docs' and description 'Retrieve complete Shopify documentation' indicate a read-only operation that queries/retrieves documentation data with no side effects or modifications."

## Use case

AI agents call fetch_full_docs to retrieve information from Shopify Dev 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 Shopify Dev:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "fetch_full_docs": {}
  }
}
```
