WHAT IT DOES

What delete_menu does on Shopify Graphql

AI agents call delete_menu to permanently remove resources in Shopify Graphql, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why delete_menu is rated Critical

This tool permanently removes navigation menus from a Shopify store, which cannot be undone and constitutes data destruction. While the blast radius is limited to store navigation UI (not customer data or financial records), the irreversible nature and potential to disrupt store functionality elevates this to Destructive rather than Write.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_menu' with description 'Delete a navigation menu' explicitly performs an irreversible deletion operation on store configuration data.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_menu 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 delete_menu, this is the rule to start with:

delete_menu Hidden

delete_menu is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Shopify Graphql, apply this rule, and every delete_menu call is checked against it from then on.
