shopify_get_checkout_branding

Retrieve complete Shopify Plus checkout branding configuration, including design system and UI element customizations.

Instructions

Retrieve complete checkout branding configuration including design system and customizations.

  Returns two main sections:
  1. DESIGN SYSTEM: Foundation settings for colors, typography, corner radius
     - colors.global.brand: The PRIMARY BUTTON COLOR
     - colors.schemes: Detailed color schemes with primaryButton, secondaryButton, control colors
     - typography: Font families and sizes
  
  2. CUSTOMIZATIONS: Specific UI element settings
     - HEADER: Logo (visibility, maxWidth), banner image, cartLink (contentType, image), divided, alignment, padding
     - FOOTER: Content visibility, color scheme, padding
     - MAIN: Background image, section styling, divider settings
     - ORDER SUMMARY: Background image, section styling, divider settings
     - primaryButton, secondaryButton, control, textField, select elements
  
  The profileId is optional - defaults to TEST profile for safety.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
profileIdNo
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It describes the read-only nature and the test default, but does not disclose potential errors, rate limits, or authentication requirements beyond implied safety.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is well-structured with bullet points for the two main sections (design system and customizations), making it easy to read. It is slightly lengthy but justified by the complexity of the return object.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no output schema, the description provides a comprehensive breakdown of the return structure, including specific fields under design system and customizations. This is complete enough for an agent to understand expected data.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The only parameter profileId has no schema description coverage (0%), but the description adds meaning by stating it is optional and defaults to TEST profile for safety. This provides functional context beyond the schema type 'string'.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool retrieves checkout branding configuration, specifying both the verb (retrieve) and resource (complete checkout branding configuration including design system and customizations). It distinguishes from sibling tools like update or upload.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description mentions that profileId is optional and defaults to TEST profile for safety, providing clear guidance on when to omit the parameter. However, it does not explicitly contrast with siblings like shopify_list_checkout_profiles or shopify_update_checkout_branding.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
