Governed ability
Trash post
aafm/trash-postGuarded write
Trash post is a governed ability in Agent Abilities for MCP, a free WordPress plugin that runs an MCP server on your site.
Move a post to trash (recoverable, never permanently deleted).
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, Trash post ships switched off. You turn it on one at a time, and an update never widens access on its own.
- Guarded write
Writes stay conservative, and the plugin re-checks the capability before the call runs.
- Capability gated
A connection only sees Trash post 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.
- It can delete
This ability can delete. Where WordPress supports it, items go to Trash and can be restored, and the last administrator can never be removed.
Trash post is one of the 26 governed Content abilities. Browse the other Content abilities in the catalog.
