Policy and FAQs tool

Deprecated

The search_shop_policies_and_faqs tool is deprecated. Use Ask MCP for new integrations. The existing tool continues to work at /api/mcp. This deprecation doesn't remove it.

The Policy and FAQs MCP endpoint provides non-catalog tools for interacting with a single merchant's store. The tool is available at:

https://{storedomain}/api/mcp

Replace storedomain with the store's actual domain. No authentication is required.

For UCP catalog tools (search_catalog, lookup_catalog, get_product), see Storefront Catalog.
