Governed ability
Update post SEO (Yoast)
aafm/yoast-update-post Guarded write
Writes a post's Yoast SEO fields to its _yoast_wpseo_* post meta. URL fields are sanitized as URLs and the robots directives are validated. Requires edit access to that post.
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, Update post SEO (Yoast) 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 Update post SEO (Yoast) 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.
