Fetch subscription contracts from the store
AI agents call get_subscription_contracts 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.
This tool retrieves subscription contract data for querying purposes. It does not modify, delete, or execute operations on the data. Fetching subscription information is a read-only operation with minimal risk; an AI agent misusing this would only gain unauthorized visibility into existing contracts, not cause financial transactions or data destruction.
