Governed ability
Delete menu item
aafm/delete-menu-itemGuarded write
Delete menu item is a governed ability in Agent Abilities for MCP, a free WordPress plugin that runs an MCP server on your site.
Permanently removes one item from a navigation menu. Requires the edit-theme-options capability.
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 menu item 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 menu item 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 and the identifiers it touched, never free-text content.
- 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.
Delete menu item is one of the 9 governed Menus abilities. Browse the other Menus abilities in the catalog.

Example requests you could paste to your agent.

Take one entry out of this navigation menu.
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.
