The first step is knowing which access is actually unused, and that is where visibility matters. An AI agent that has stopped acting, or one that holds scopes it never exercises, often keeps its access indefinitely because nothing surfaces it as idle.
Every agent request passes through the miniOrange MCP broker, the activity of each connected agent is recorded in one place. The miniOrange AI Agent Governance solution for Shopify builds on that record to help merchants find and act on unused access:
- Builds a behavioural profile for every AI agent, including ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, so you can see which agents are active and which have gone quiet.
- Flags scopes that are held but never exercised, making unused access visible instead of silent.
- Shows when each agent was last active, so dormant or forgotten agents stand out.
- Gives each agent a risk rating, helping you prioritise which access to remove first.
- Lets you revoke or narrow permissions at the broker, so the change takes effect on the next request without touching your admin credentials or reissuing API keys.
This matters because unused agent access is one of the most common blind spots in a Shopify store. A connected agent left over from a finished project, or one whose scopes were broader than it ever needed, sits as standing access that no one is watching, until it is misused or compromised.
Once you can see which access is unused, revoking it becomes a deliberate decision rather than a guess. Because the MCP broker sits between every agent and Shopify, revocation is enforced at the connection layer: the agent does not lose access only in theory, it stops being able to reach your store at all. The governance solution turns a manual, hope-nothing-was-missed cleanup into a review driven by evidence of what each agent actually does.
