Governed ability
List themes
aafm/list-themesRead only
List themes is a governed ability in Agent Abilities for MCP, a free WordPress plugin that runs an MCP server on your site.
Lists installed themes by name, version, stylesheet, and active state. 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, List themes 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 List themes 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.
List themes is one of the 6 governed Themes & styles abilities. Browse the other Themes & styles abilities in the catalog.
