Governed ability
Delete block
aafm/delete-block Guarded write
Moves a reusable block to the Trash, where you can restore it. Never a permanent delete. Requires delete access to that block.
How it is governed
The same model as every ability in the plugin, stated for this one.
- Off until you enable it
Like every ability, Delete block ships switched off. You turn it on one at a time, and an update never widens access on its own.
- Guarded write
Writes stay conservative, and the plugin re-checks the capability before the call runs.
- Capability gated
A connection only sees Delete block if the user you connected can run it, and the plugin checks that capability again before it executes.
- Every call audited
The call is written to the log in your own database, denials included, with the argument keys but never the values.
- It can delete
This ability can delete. Where WordPress supports it, items go to Trash and can be restored, and the last administrator can never be removed.

Example requests you could paste to your agent.

Trash reusable block 42, I do not need it anymore.
Send synced pattern 108 to the trash so it stops appearing in the inserter.
These are illustrative example prompts. The agent runs them as the user you connected, checked against that user's capabilities and written to your audit log.
