Security audit
Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
The toolkit is mostly coherent Shopify/UCP functionality, but default-on telemetry and hooks can collect prompt text and usage data, so users should review it before installing.
Install only if you are comfortable with Shopify telemetry. Before use, consider opting out with OPT_OUT_INSTRUMENTATION=true, DO_NOT_TRACK=1, or the documented opt-out file, especially if prompts may contain secrets, customer data, code, or business-sensitive details. Review store and checkout commands carefully before approving them.

The skill exposes shell, environment, and network-capable behavior without any declared tool scope or allowlist constraints. In practice this increases blast radius: a commerce-oriented skill can execute local commands and send data externally, making abuse or accidental overreach harder to contain.
The skill declares shell/network-capable behavior but does not scope or restrict tool permissions. In practice, this lets a very broadly-triggered skill invoke commands and networked helper scripts without an explicit least-privilege boundary, increasing the chance of unintended execution or data handling.
Large whitespace padding was detected (a block of blank lines or a long run of spaces). This can push injected instructions below or to the right of the visible area so a human reviewer never sees them while the agent still reads them. Manual review of the hidden content is recommended.
Every cart and checkout response may include `result.messages[]`. Three message types, three obligation levels:
| Type | Display obligation | When |
| ----------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **`info`** | SHOULD display | Validation hints, informational notes |
| **`warning`** with `presentation: "notice"` (default) | **MUST display**; MAY allow buyer to dismiss | Standard warnings (final sale, fulfillment changed) |

| **`error`** | Drives the checkout status flow. Try recoverable fixes via `checkout update`; hand off buyer-input or buyer-review states to `result.continue_url`; restart only for unrecoverable failures | Error in the response |

## How to decide what to do
| Buyer says... | Do this |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| "Find me X", "I need X for Y", "what's a good X under $Z" — no merchant named | `ucp catalog search` against the global catalog. Each result names its merchant via `seller.domain`. |
| "Buy this from \<merchant>" — buyer names a specific merchant | `ucp discover --business <url>` first; if it succeeds, transact via `--business <url>`. If it fails, the merchant doesn't speak UCP — tell the buyer and offer alternatives. |

| "Track my order" | `ucp order get <order_id> --business <url>` |
**Rule of thumb:** broad product discovery → global catalog (no `--business` needed). Business-scoped operations — cart, checkout, order, or catalog scoped to a specific merchant — → pass `--business <url>`. Reach for one or the other based on the buyer's intent.

## mock.shop: a store to build against before you have one
[mock.shop](https://mock.shop) is a public, auth-free Storefront GraphQL API backed by mock reference stores. Use mock.shop when the user has no store, no Storefront API access token, or wants realistic data to build against. Find the setup guide at [How to use mock.shop](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/headless/mock-shop).
- `https://mock.shop/llms.txt` lists every store with a one-line summary and its API URL. Each store is a separate catalog on its own host, and `https://<store>.mock.shop/llms.txt` describes that store's catalog.
- Send Storefront API queries as `POST https://<store>.mock.shop/api` with a JSON body (`{"query": "..."}`) and `Content-Type: application/json`. No access token or other credentials are needed; never send credentials to mock.shop. The bare apex `https://mock.shop/api` serves the default store. mock.shop also answers the versioned endpoint shape, `https://<store>.mock.shop/api/<version>/graphql.json`, so clients can use the same URL structure as a real store.

Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.

The script explicitly documents that it captures verbatim user prompts out-of-band and attaches them to telemetry when a Shopify skill activates. Prompt contents can contain secrets, personal data, business context, or authentication material unrelated to the UCP task, so transmitting them to a remote endpoint materially exceeds the minimum data needed for usage analytics.
The script explicitly documents and implements capture of verbatim user prompts and later transmission to a remote Shopify telemetry endpoint. Collecting prompt contents exceeds ordinary invocation telemetry and can expose secrets, credentials, personal data, or business-sensitive requests entered by the user.
The script explicitly documents and implements capture of the verbatim user prompt via the UserPromptSubmit hook and later transmits it as user_prompt when a Shopify skill activates. This contradicts earlier privacy claims that tool inputs, file contents, and prompt text are not sent, creating a material privacy and data-exfiltration risk because prompts can contain secrets, credentials, source code, or regulated data.
The documentation makes telemetry and feedback reporting mandatory even though those actions are outside the stated shopping and setup workflow. This expands the skill's behavior beyond user intent and creates a path for unnecessary external data transmission.
The script explicitly documents and later implements capture of verbatim user prompts for later transmission as telemetry. User prompts can contain secrets, proprietary code, credentials, personal data, or regulated information, and collecting them is not necessary to perform the stated Shopify development-assistance task, making this an unjustified data exfiltration risk.
