WHAT IT DOES

What run_bulk_query does on Shopify Graphql

AI agents call run_bulk_query to retrieve information from Shopify Graphql without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why run_bulk_query is rated Low

The tool performs read/fetch operations — querying and retrieving large datasets from Shopify asynchronously. No data modification is implied. Severity is medium because bulk queries can expose large volumes of sensitive store data (orders, customers, financials), and misuse could lead to significant data exfiltration.

From the tool's definition 'Run a bulk query operation to fetch large amounts of data asynchronously. Results are returned as a JSONL file.'

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

run_bulk_query Allowed

run_bulk_query is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "run_bulk_query": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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