WHAT IT DOES

What close_order does on Shopify Graphql

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

RISK

Why close_order is rated Medium

Closing an order changes its state reversibly—the order data remains intact and the action can be undone by reopening the order. This is a Write operation (state modification) rather than Destructive (irreversible deletion).

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Close an open order' which modifies order state from open to closed. This is a reversible state change (orders can typically be reopened), not deletion.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs close_order safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Shopify Graphql, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For close_order, this is the rule to start with:

close_order Rate-limited

close_order stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
