WHAT IT DOES

What create_webhook_subscription does on Shopify Graphql

AI agents use create_webhook_subscription 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 create_webhook_subscription is rated Medium

This tool creates new webhook subscriptions, which modifies Shopify's event notification system reversibly. While webhook misconfiguration could enable data exfiltration or trigger unintended external actions via the specified endpoints (HTTPS, Pub/Sub, EventBridge), the tool itself performs a Write operation—creating configuration objects.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'create' and description states 'Create a webhook subscription', indicating data creation. The tool configures event subscriptions that modify Shopify's webhook routing configuration.
