Governed ability

Get template

aafm/get-template Read only

Reads one block template by id, including its markup. 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 template 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 template 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. Show me the markup of the block template with id twentytwentyfour//single.
  2. Fetch the contents of the header template part.
  3. Pull the full markup for the archive template so I can review it.

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 template.

Does it change the template?

No, it is read only. It returns one block template's markup by id. Use Update template to make changes.

What does it require?

The edit-theme-options capability. It is off by default and every read is logged.

Back to all abilities

Governed by default, from the first call.

Get template 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.
