  Rock The Bells' agent-facing surfaces are unusually open: both the MCP tool manifest and the full
  Storefront GraphQL schema were enumerated with no credential of any kind. What is gated is not
  discovery but MONEY — payment completion is guarded by a human-approval invariant rather than by
  a token.
schemes:
- id: anonymous-discovery
  type: none
  applies_to:
  - POST https://shop.rockthebells.com/api/ucp/mcp (tools/list)
  - POST https://shop.rockthebells.com/api/2024-10/graphql.json (introspection + public reads)
  - GET https://shop.rockthebells.com/.well-known/ucp
  - GET https://shop.rockthebells.com/products.json
  - GET https://shop.rockthebells.com/collections.json
  evidence: >-
    All of the above returned HTTP 200 to an unauthenticated request on 2026-08-26. Full GraphQL
    introspection (414 types) and the complete 13-tool MCP manifest were both retrieved anonymously.
- id: ucp-agent-profile
  type: agentIdentity
  location: request body
  parameter: meta.ucp-agent.profile
  required: true
  applies_to: every MCP tool
  description: >-
    Every one of the 13 MCP tools declares `meta` as a required property, and within it
    `ucp-agent.profile` — a URI identifying the calling agent — is itself required. This is agent
    IDENTIFICATION, not authentication: nothing was verified against the profile URI during probing.
  evidence: mcp/rock-the-bells-mcp-tools.json (inputSchema.properties.meta.required = ["ucp-agent"])
- id: storefront-access-token
  type: apiKey
  in: header
  name: X-Shopify-Storefront-Access-Token
  required: false
  description: >-
    The Shopify Storefront API convention for authenticated storefront access. NOT required for the
    public read and introspection surface observed here; it scopes elevated or app-specific access.
    Recorded as the documented platform scheme, not as something Rock The Bells publishes itself.
  evidence: Shopify Storefront API platform convention; not exercised during this probe.
- id: customer-access-token
  type: bearer
  location: GraphQL mutation argument
  description: >-
    Buyer-account authentication inside the Storefront schema. The Mutation type exposes
    customerAccessTokenCreate, customerAccessTokenCreateWithMultipass, customerAccessTokenRenew and
    customerAccessTokenDelete; customer-scoped queries take the resulting token. This authenticates
    the SHOPPER, not the API consumer.
  evidence: graphql/rock-the-bells-storefront.graphql (Mutation.customerAccessTokenCreate)
- id: buyer-approval
  type: humanInTheLoop
  required: true
  applies_to:
  - complete_checkout (MCP)
  - cartSubmitForCompletion (GraphQL)
  - shopPayPaymentRequestSessionSubmit (GraphQL)
  description: >-
    The store's controlling authorization rule for agents. Payment may not be finalized without an
    explicit, contemporaneous human approval step — this is stated in BOTH /llms.txt and
    /robots.txt, and is the invariant that substitutes for an API credential on the write path.
  evidence: >-
    llms.txt "Important Rules": "Checkout requires human approval. Agents must not complete payment
    without explicit buyer consent." robots.txt: "Checkouts are for humans. Do NOT complete
    checkout, payment, or order placement automatically."
oauth: false
oauth_note: >-
  No OAuth. Both /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server and /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource
  returned 404 on every host, and the MCP endpoint returned tools rather than an OAuth challenge.
  scopes/ is therefore intentionally absent for this provider.
