Summary
Adds a guide for verifying agent identity and enforcing per-tool permissions
when exposing shopify-mcp to multiple agents or third parties.
Why
When multiple agents or third-party tools connect to the Shopify MCP server,
there is no standard way to verify which agent is acting or restrict tool
access (e.g., preventing a read-only agent from deleting products or issuing
refunds). This guide describes a deployment pattern for environments that
need agent-level attribution and per-tool authorization.
