Governed ability
Get venues
aafm/tec-get-venuesRead only
Get venues is a governed The Events Calendar ability in Agent Abilities for MCP, a free WordPress plugin that runs an MCP server on your site.
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).
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 venues 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 venues 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 venues is one of the 13 governed The Events Calendar abilities. See the full The Events Calendar MCP integration.
