Governed ability
Delete term meta
aafm/delete-term-metaGuarded write
Delete term meta is a governed ability in Agent Abilities for MCP, a free WordPress plugin that runs an MCP server on your site.
Delete an allowlisted meta key from a term you can edit. Removes all values of that key.
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 term meta 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 term meta 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 term meta is one of the 7 governed Taxonomies & Terms abilities. Browse the other Taxonomies & Terms abilities in the catalog.
