Governed ability
Count WooCommerce orders
aafm/wc-count-orders Read only
Returns order counts broken down by WooCommerce status (pending, processing, on-hold, completed, cancelled, refunded, failed) plus a total of active (non-trashed) orders. HPOS-aware. 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, Count WooCommerce orders 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 Count WooCommerce orders 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.
How many orders are currently in processing versus completed?
Give me a breakdown of my order counts by status.
What is the total number of active orders in the store right now?
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 Count WooCommerce orders.
Does counting orders expose any customer details?
No. It returns only counts grouped by status (pending, processing, on-hold, completed, cancelled, refunded, failed) plus a total of active orders. No names, emails, or line items are included.
Is this ability available as soon as the plugin is installed?
No. Like every ability it is off by default and stays disabled until an administrator enables it. It is HPOS-aware and requires the manage-WooCommerce capability.
Can the agent change orders through this ability?
No, it is read only. It reports counts and cannot create, edit, or delete any order.
Governed by default, from the first call.
Count WooCommerce orders 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.
