Can I draft a new blog post using chat?

Yes. The `create_cms_post` tool allows your AI agent to create a new post. You can provide the title and content, and set the status to 'draft'. Once you are ready, you can update it to 'publish' using the same agent.

How do I get the direct URL for an image in my WordPress library?

Use the `list_media_attachments` tool. Your AI agent will return a list of recently uploaded media files, including their filenames and the direct public source URLs for easy sharing or embedding.

Is it possible to permanently delete a post instead of sending it to Trash?

Yes. When using the `delete_cms_post` tool, you can set the `force` parameter to true. This will bypass the WordPress Trash and permanently remove the post from your database.
