Fetch an order edit by ID
AI agents call get_order_edit to retrieve information from Shopify Graphql without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

While the Shopify context involves commerce, the tool itself performs no financial transaction or destructive action—it merely accesses information.
