Create WooCommerce order refund is a governed ability in Agent Abilities for MCP, a free WordPress plugin that runs an MCP server on your site.
Creates a refund on a WooCommerce order by order id. Accepts an amount, optional reason, and optional line-item breakdown. Reason text is returned verbatim under the Integrations security disclaimer. Requires the manage-WooCommerce 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, Create WooCommerce order refund 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 Create WooCommerce order refund 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.
- Locked behind a second switch
Create WooCommerce order refund is one of the 9 WooCommerce abilities that move money or grant authority. Switching it on here is not enough on its own: it stays locked until you also turn on the high-risk control in Settings, and that switch is written to the audit log like any other change. Since 1.5.0.
Create WooCommerce order refund is one of the 52 governed WooCommerce abilities. See the full WooCommerce MCP integration.
