AI agents call list_themes to retrieve information from Kockatoos Shopify MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves information about installed themes without side effects. It permits filtering by role but performs no destructive, write, execute, or financial operations. The read_themes scope confirms it is a read-only operation. Severity is low as it exposes theme metadata that is generally non-sensitive configuration data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_themes' and description 'List all themes installed on the online store' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification. The description explicitly states it 'requires read_themes access scope', confirming read-only intent.
