Governed ability

Get posts

aafm/get-posts Read only

List posts filtered by type, status, and search term. Each item returns id, title, status, type, slug, link, author {id, display_name}, dates, excerpt, terms grouped by taxonomy, featured_image {id, url, alt} or null, and allowlisted meta. Set include_content=true to also return full content per item; content_format (rendered or raw) only takes effect when include_content is true. Response includes total.

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 posts 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 posts 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 but never the values.

Try it with a prompt

Example requests you could paste to your agent.

  1. List the ten most recent published posts.
  2. Find draft posts that mention onboarding.
  3. Show me all posts in the news type and include their content.

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 Get posts.

Does it return full article bodies?

Only if you set include_content to true, and content_format then chooses rendered or raw. Otherwise it returns metadata per post.

Can it edit posts?

No, it is read only, off by default, capability-gated, and audited.

Back to all abilities

Governed by default, from the first call.

Get posts 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.
