Governed ability

Get menu

aafm/get-menu Read only

Reads one navigation menu by id: its name, slug, and item count. 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 menu 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 menu 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. Get the details of the menu with id 3.
  2. Show me the name, slug, and item count for the main menu.
  3. Look up a single navigation menu by its id.

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 Get menu.

Is this read only?

Yes. It reads one navigation menu by id and never changes it.

What does it return?

The menu name, slug, and item count. To read the actual items, use list menu items.

Is it on by default?

No. It requires edit-theme-options, stays off until enabled, and is audited.

Back to all abilities

Governed by default, from the first call.

Get menu 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.
