Governed ability
Delete menu
aafm/delete-menuGuarded write
Delete menu is a governed ability in Agent Abilities for MCP, a free WordPress plugin that runs an MCP server on your site.
Permanently deletes a navigation menu and all of its items. 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 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 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 is one of the 9 governed Menus abilities. Browse the other Menus abilities in the catalog.

Try it with a prompt
Example requests you could paste to your agent.
Delete the navigation menu with id 3.
Remove the old Footer Links menu and everything in it.
Get rid of this unused menu entirely.
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.
