Governed ability

Get term meta

aafm/get-term-meta Read only

Read a single allowlisted scalar meta value from a term in a public taxonomy.

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 term meta 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 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 but never the values.

Try it with a prompt

Example requests you could paste to your agent.

  1. Read the brand_color meta value stored on category 15.
  2. Fetch the allowlisted icon meta for the term with id 30.
  3. Show me one custom meta field on a product category.

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 term meta.

Can it read any meta key?

No. It reads only a single allowlisted scalar meta value. Keys that are not on the allowlist are never returned.

Does it change anything?

No, it is read only. Writes use the separate update term meta ability.

Is it audited?

Yes. Every call is recorded, and the ability is off by default.

Back to all abilities

Governed by default, from the first call.

Get term meta 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.
