Governed ability
Update WooCommerce coupon
aafm/wc-update-couponGuarded writeHigh risk, locked by default
Update WooCommerce coupon is a governed ability in Agent Abilities for MCP, a free WordPress plugin that runs an MCP server on your site.
Updates a WooCommerce coupon by id, changing only the fields you send. An empty request body is a no-op success. Returns the full coupon shape. 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, Update WooCommerce coupon 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 WooCommerce coupon 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
Update WooCommerce coupon 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.
Update WooCommerce coupon is one of the 52 governed WooCommerce abilities. See the full WooCommerce MCP integration.
