Governed ability
Delete revision
aafm/delete-revisionGuarded write
Delete revision is a governed ability in Agent Abilities for MCP, a free WordPress plugin that runs an MCP server on your site.
Permanently delete a single revision from a post's history. This cannot be undone (unlike trashing a post, there is no Trash for revisions). The live post is not changed. Requires edit access to the parent post.
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 revision 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 revision 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 revision is one of the 26 governed Content abilities. Browse the other Content abilities in the catalog.

Try it with a prompt
Example requests you could paste to your agent.
Delete revision 990 from post 142's history.
Remove that stray revision on the About page.
Permanently drop the old revision with id 771 from post 88.
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.
Frequently asked
Short answers for Delete revision.
Does this change the live post?
No. Delete revision leaves the live post unchanged and only removes one entry from the revision history.
Can I get the revision back?
No. Delete revision cannot be undone, because there is no Trash for revisions. The ability requires edit access to the parent post and is audited.
Governed by default, from the first call.
Delete revision is off until you enable it, scoped to the user you connect, and logged like everything else. Turn on only what you need.
Every ability off until you enable it, capability-gated on every call.
