Expire a subscription contract
AI agents call expire_subscription_contract 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.
Expiring a subscription contract permanently changes its status in a way that cannot be easily undone. This terminates the customer's subscription, which has downstream effects on recurring revenue, customer access to services, and fulfillment schedules. While it may not delete data, it irreversibly alters a financial agreement's lifecycle state, making it Destructive rather than merely Write.
From the tool's definition 'Expire a subscription contract' — expiring a contract is an irreversible state change that terminates an active subscription relationship
