Governed ability

Set featured image

aafm/set-featured-image Guarded write

Set a post's featured image to an existing image attachment ID.

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, Set featured image 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 Set featured image 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. Set attachment 512 as the featured image for post 412.
  2. Use media item 341 as the featured image on the About page.
  3. Make image 512 the thumbnail for post 88.

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 Set featured image.

Can this upload a new image?

No. It only points a post at an image that already exists in the library, using its attachment id. Bringing in a new file is a separate upload ability.

What permission does it need?

It is a guarded write that requires edit access to the post and is off by default. Each change is recorded in the audit log.

Back to all abilities

Governed by default, from the first call.

Set featured image 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.
