Governed ability

Delete page

aafm/delete-page Guarded write

Permanently delete a page, bypassing the Trash. This cannot be undone - use trash-page to remove a page recoverably instead.

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, Delete page 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 Delete page 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 but never the values.

  • 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.

Try it with a prompt

Example requests you could paste to your agent.

  1. Permanently delete page 501, I know it cannot be undone.
  2. Hard delete the test page with id 88.
  3. Remove page 45 for good, bypassing the Trash.

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.

Frequently asked

Short answers for Delete page.

Can this be undone?

No, it bypasses the Trash and cannot be undone. Use trash-page instead when you want a recoverable removal.

What stops accidental use?

It is off by default, requires the right capability on that page, and every call is recorded in the audit log.

Back to all abilities

Governed by default, from the first call.

Delete page is off until you enable it, scoped to the user you connect, and logged like everything else. Turn on only what you need.

Every ability off until you enable it, capability-gated on every call.
