List tools (orders, products, customers, collections) now accept an optional 'fields' parameter to select which fields the GraphQL query returns, reducing context pollution when only IDs or specific data is needed. Max page size raised from 10-100 to 250 (Shopify API limit). Affected tools: get-orders, get-products, get-customers, get-collections, get-customer-orders
Make descriptions more assertive so AI agents actually use the fields parameter instead of fetching all data. Descriptions now tell agents to always specify fields, and to ask the user which fields are needed when unsure rather than defaulting to all fields.
… and bulk tags Driven by iterative feedback from an AI consumer agent testing all 45 tools, this addresses the main friction points when an LLM operates the MCP toolset without human guidance. Field selection & countOnly: - Add `fields` param to all GET tools (products, orders, customers, collections, metafields, variants) so agents fetch only the data they need - Add `countOnly` param to list tools (get-products, get-orders, get-customers, get-customer-orders) to size result sets before paginating - Increase max page size from 50 to 250 on list endpoints Bulk tag management: - Add manage-tags-bulk tool for batch add/remove on up to 100 resources Description clarity & consistency: - Add format examples to all ID params (GID vs numeric, with examples) - Add cross-tool navigation hints (e.g. create-fulfillment references get-fulfillment-orders for obtaining required IDs) - Add metafield upsert semantics to all update tools - Add customer notification safety warnings requiring user confirmation - Change inventory-set-quantities reason from free text to validated enum Collection improvements: - Add field selection to get-collection-by-id README: - Update tool count from 31 to 45 - Document new sections: Collections, Configuration, Enhanced Order, Inventory & Pricing, shared field selection and countOnly capabilities

hi @lucasjahn thanks for the PR, I found there's merge conflicts after #13 got merged, can you sync with origin main again? thanks |

Problem
When an AI agent/LLM consumed this MCP toolset autonomously, it hits several friction points that cause unnecessary round-trips, context bloat, and outright errors:
Solution
Iterative improvements driven by a consumer AI agent auditing all 45 tools.
All changes are backwards compatible. No new dependencies.
