Governed ability
Get post types
aafm/get-post-typesRead only
Get post types is a governed ability in Agent Abilities for MCP, a free WordPress plugin that runs an MCP server on your site.
List public post types registered on the site. Each type includes a writable flag indicating whether agents may create/update items of that type.
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 post types 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 post types 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.
