List all bulk operations for the app. Results include status, type, and URLs to result files when complete.
AI agents call list_bulk_operations 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 only queries and returns information about existing bulk operations. It does not create, modify, delete, or trigger any actions—it simply lists metadata about past operations. This is a straightforward Read operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent, as it merely exposes existing operation data.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'list' and description states it retrieves bulk operations with their status, type, and result URLs—purely informational queries with no side effects or data modification.
