Governed ability

Get global styles

aafm/get-global-styles Read only

Reads the active theme's resolved global styles and settings (theme.json). 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, Get global styles ships switched off. You turn it on one at a time, and an update never widens access on its own.

  • Reads only

    It reads data and returns it to your client. Nothing on your site is created, changed, or removed.

  • Capability gated

    A connection only sees Get global styles 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.

Try it with a prompt

Example requests you could paste to your agent.

  1. Show me the active theme's global styles from theme.json.
  2. What color palette and typography settings does the theme define?
  3. Give me the resolved global styles and settings for the current theme.

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.
