Governed ability

Get event

aafm/tec-get-eventRead only

Get event is a governed The Events Calendar ability in Agent Abilities for MCP, a free WordPress plugin that runs an MCP server on your site.

Read a single event by ID, including its start/end dates, venue, and organizers.

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 event 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 event 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.

Get event is one of the 13 governed The Events Calendar abilities. See the full The Events Calendar MCP integration.

Try it with a prompt

Example requests you could paste to your agent.

  1. Read event 512 and show me its start and end dates.
  2. What venue and organizers are attached to this event?
  3. Pull the full record for event 88 before I edit 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 event.

What comes back?

A single event read by ID, including its start and end dates, its venue, and its organizers.

Is it a read or a write?

A read. It never changes the event. It is still off by default and every call is written to the audit log.

What does it need installed?

The Events Calendar 6.17.3.1 or newer. The abilities are built on the calendar's own ORM, so they are not available when the plugin is inactive.

Related abilities

More in The Events Calendar.

Create event

Guarded write

Create an event via the Events Calendar ORM. Requires the edit_tribe_events capability; a publicly-visible status additionally requires publish_tribe_events.

View ability

Update event

Guarded write

Update an event by ID via the Events Calendar ORM. Requires edit access to that event. Status changes route through the same shared status-authority chokepoint as update-post; organizer_ids and all_day map onto the real ORM repository behavior (clearing with an empty array, and un-setting the all-day meta key rather than writing a falsy value).

View ability

Delete event

Guarded write

Trash an event by ID (goes to Trash, matching this plugin's trash-post convention, never a permanent delete). Requires delete access to that event.

View ability

Get venues

Read only

List venues via the Events Calendar ORM (tribe_venues()). Defaults to whatever the caller can already see (publish, plus private with read-private access); draft/pending/future require edit access to venues (scoped to the caller's own unless they can edit others' venues).

View ability

Get venue

Read only

View ability

Create venue

Guarded write

Create a venue via the Events Calendar ORM. Requires the edit_tribe_venues capability. Defaults to draft; publish requires the publish_tribe_venues capability.

View ability

Back to all abilities

Governed by default, from the first call.

Get event is off until you enable it, scoped to the user you connect, and logged like everything else. Turn on only what you need.
