Governed ability

Update WooCommerce payment gateway

aafm/wc-update-payment-gatewayGuarded writeHigh risk, locked by default

Update WooCommerce payment gateway is a governed ability in Agent Abilities for MCP, a free WordPress plugin that runs an MCP server on your site.

Updates a WooCommerce payment gateway by id, changing only the fields you send: enabled state, title, description, or display order. Returns the updated gateway shape with secrets redacted. 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 payment gateway 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 payment gateway 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 payment gateway 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 payment gateway is one of the 52 governed WooCommerce abilities. See the full WooCommerce MCP integration.

Try it with a prompt

Example requests you could paste to your agent.

  1. Enable the bank transfer payment gateway.
  2. Turn off the cash on delivery gateway.
  3. Rename the check payments gateway's title shown at checkout.

These are illustrative example prompts. The agent runs them as the user you connected, checked against that user's capabilities and written to your audit log.
