What list_shops does on Gobox

AI agents call list_shops to retrieve information from Gobox without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list_shops needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only query to enumerate shops in the Gobox e-commerce platform. It retrieves information without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could discover which shops are connected, but cannot take further action without additional tools. This is a standard inventory/metadata query.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate a 'list' operation that retrieves data about connected e-commerce shops with no modification or side effects: 'List all connected e-commerce shops.'
