Governed ability
Get global styles
aafm/get-global-stylesRead only
Get global styles is a governed ability in Agent Abilities for MCP, a free WordPress plugin that runs an MCP server on your site.
Reads the active theme's resolved global styles and settings (theme.json). 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, Get global styles ships switched off. You turn it on one at a time, and an update never widens access on its own.
- Reads only
It reads data and returns it to your client. Nothing on your site is created, changed, or removed.
- Capability gated
A connection only sees Get global styles 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.
