Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

shopify-admin-return-initiation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 190 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Initiates a formal Shopify Return on a delivered order — specifying which line items to return, quantities, and reason. This creates the return record in Shopify's native returns system (distinct from simply issuing a refund). Used by support agents when a customer contacts them to return delivered items. The return record enables tracking, warehouse inspection, and exchange/refund resolution downstream. Note: returnCreate requires the order to be in FULFILLED status. For orders that haven't shipped yet, use cancel-and-restock instead. For already-returned items needing a refund, use refund-and-reorder.

Prerequisites

  • shopify auth login --store <domain>
  • API scopes: read_orders, write_returns

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Default Description
store string yes Store domain (e.g., mystore.myshopify.com)
format string no human Output format: human or json
dry_run bool no false Preview operations without executing mutations
order_id string yes GID of the order (e.g., gid://shopify/Order/12345)
return_line_items array no all fulfilled Array of {fulfillment_line_item_id, quantity, reason, reason_note} to return
return_reason string no OTHER Default return reason for all items if not specified per-item: SIZE_TOO_SMALL, SIZE_TOO_LARGE, WRONG_ITEM, NOT_AS_DESCRIBED, DEFECTIVE, STYLE, COLOR, UNWANTED, OTHER
notify_customer bool no true Send return initiation notification email to customer

Safety

⚠️ Step 2 executes returnCreate which creates a formal return record and — if notify_customer: true — sends an email to the customer. This is appropriate only after verifying with the customer that a return is expected. Run with dry_run: true to preview the return line items and quantities before committing.

Workflow Steps

  1. OPERATION: order — query Inputs: id: <order_id> Expected output: Order name, displayFulfillmentStatus (must be FULFILLED — abort if not), fulfillments with fulfillmentLineItems including id, quantity, discountedTotalSet

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
