shadingNode is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.
The shadingNode command classifies any DG node as a shader, texture
light, post process, or utility so that it can be properly organized
in the multi-lister. Recall that any DG node can be used a part of a
a shader, texture or light - regardless of how it is classified by this.
