Governed ability
Update menu item
aafm/update-menu-itemGuarded write
Update menu item is a governed ability in Agent Abilities for MCP, a free WordPress plugin that runs an MCP server on your site.
Updates a menu item's title or URL by id. 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, Update menu item 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 Update menu item 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.
