## Why create_inventory_shipment is rated Medium

This tool creates a new inventory shipment record in Shopify, which is a reversible write operation. It modifies inventory state but does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money. The blast radius is medium because misconfigured shipments could cause logistics disruptions or inventory tracking errors, but the operation itself can be undone via subsequent API calls.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'create_inventory_shipment' and description states it will 'Create a new inventory shipment'. The verb 'create' indicates data creation/modification rather than deletion."

## Use case

AI agents use create_inventory_shipment 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.
