  Live response headers and tool-call responses from RYSE's three MCP endpoints on 2026-08-26,
  RYSE's /.well-known/ucp merchant profile, and https://www.helloryse.com/policies/refund-policy
summary: >-
  RYSE publishes no versioning policy, no deprecation policy, no SLA, no changelog and no status
  page of its own. What it does carry is a hard, dated sunset embedded in the runtime responses of
  one of its two commerce MCP surfaces.
versioning:
  scheme: date-based, advertised per-surface in a response header
  policy_published: false
  surfaces:
  - endpoint: https://www.helloryse.com/api/ucp/mcp
    version_header: x-shopify-ucp-mcp-api-version
    current_version: '2026-04-08'
    ucp_versions_supported: ['2026-04-08', '2026-01-23']
    version_discovery: https://www.helloryse.com/.well-known/ucp

    current_version: unstable
    stability: unstable
    server_info: {name: storefront-renderer, version: 0.1.0}
    note: >-
      The server self-declares the literal string "unstable" as its API version. There is no pinnable
      version on this surface.

    version_header: none

    announcement_channel: >-
      An extra text block appended to the content[] array of every tool response — not an HTTP
      Sunset/Deprecation header, not a changelog entry, and not a page on helloryse.com.
    verbatim: >-
      "DEPRECATION NOTICE: This tool is served by the Storefront MCP server at /api/mcp and will no
      longer be accessible after August 31, 2026. Migrate to the UCP-conforming tools at
      /api/ucp/mcp. See https://shopify.dev/docs/agents for migration details."
    observed: '2026-08-26'
    http_status: 200
    finding: >-
      Five days of notice remained at the time of this probe, and the only place the notice appears
      is inside a successful tool response body. An agent that does not read content[] on success
      will discover the sunset by outage. RYSE's own llms.txt and agents.md still name /api/mcp
      without mentioning the sunset.
  - surface: MCP protocol version negotiated by the commerce servers
    detail: >-
      Both commerce endpoints negotiate MCP protocolVersion 2024-11-05 even when the client offers a
      newer one; the customer-account server negotiates 2025-03-26. Not a deprecation RYSE announced,
      but a lag an integrator should plan for.
status_page:
  published: false
  probed:
  - {url: 'https://status.helloryse.com/', status: 'no response (DNS/connection failed)'}
  note: >-
    RYSE operates no status page. Availability of the commerce surface is inherited from the Shopify
    platform (status.shopify.com), which RYSE does not link from any of its own pages.
