AI agents that use WooCommerce
UtilitySpaces gives an AI agent scoped access to WooCommerce through its own encrypted connection, not your password. The agent can call 5 named WooCommerce tools, and the one that writes waits for a person's approval unless an admin has set the connection to run without asking. Every call is written to a hash-chained audit log with its arguments and its result.
What an agent can do in WooCommerce
Store, orders, products, and customers on your WooCommerce shop. An agent calls these by name, and matching is exact.
| Tool | What it does | Waits for approval by default |
|---|---|---|
| List products | List store products. | No — read only |
| Get product | Get a single product by id. | No — read only |
| List orders | List store orders. | No — read only |
| Get order | Get a single order by id. | No — read only |
| Update order status | Change an order's status (e.g. processing, completed, cancelled). | Yes — it writes |
4 read tools, 1 write tool. Generated from the connector catalogue the product runs on, so it cannot list a tool that does not exist.
What teams hand an agent in WooCommerce
Store teams hand an agent the order desk: pulling up an order by id when a buyer writes in, checking product details with Get product, and summarising the day's orders. The only thing it can change is an order's status, and that write waits for a person to approve it unless an admin has set this connection to run writes without asking.
- Answer "where is my order" questions by looking up the order with Get order and reporting its current status and line items.
- Keep the team's daily order digest current by listing new orders each morning and summarising what is awaiting processing.
- Move an order to completed or cancelled when a refund or shipment is confirmed in the inbox (approved by a person, or unattended if an admin allows it)
What waits for a person
Reads run on their own. These do not — each one waits in Approvals for an owner or admin unless an admin has set this connection to run writes without asking, and every call toWooCommerce, approved, rejected or unattended, is logged.
- Update order status PUT
What connecting WooCommerce takes
WooCommerce uses an API key you create in WooCommerce and paste in once. A workspace admin sets the connection up; the fields are:
- Store URL
- Consumer Key
- Consumer Secret
Credentials are encrypted and bound to your workspace, never read back, and every outbound call passes one guarded fetch — the connector security posture sets out exactly how, and the security page covers the platform around it.
