Instead of opening a new tab for every client site to check for updates, you can just ask your agent to pull the latest data. This Connector handles the heavy lifting of querying your network, identifying pending core or plugin updates, and even pushing those upgrades for you. It turns a tedious manual audit into a quick conversation, making it a core part of the Vinkius catalog for anyone tired of repetitive dashboard clicking. You get real-time oversight on everything from plugin inventories to malware scans without ever leaving your workspace. It's about moving from clicking through menus to telling your agent what to do across your entire WordPress fleet. ## Tools ### scan_network_malware This MainWP tool triggers a malware scan across your entire network.
