Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I use AI to watch my site security?

Your AI uses Patchstack to pull live security alerts and list your connected sites. It turns raw threat data into clear updates you can act on immediately. You'll see exactly where the vulnerabilities are and which sites are at risk.

Security outcomes

Where your security data lands.

The AI organizes incoming threat data into these specific outcomes.

ALERTS

Live threat updates

The AI uses get_latest_alerts to find new vulnerabilities. You get a direct summary of what happened and why it matters.

INVENTORY

Site status checks

By using list_sites, your agent identifies every site under your protection. This ensures no site is left unmonitored.

TRIAGE

Risk assessment

Your AI compares new alerts against your specific site list. It flags the most dangerous threats so you know what to fix first.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

The AI identifies the problem but won't touch your code or settings. You decide whether to patch a plugin or update a theme.

The workflow

What your AI does when the alerts arrive.

The AI acts as a bridge between Patchstack's data and your decision making.

  1. Identify your sites

    The agent first looks at all the WordPress sites you have connected to Patchstack.

    list_sites

  2. Fetch new threats

    It pulls the most recent security notifications and firewall events from the platform.

  3. Match threats to sites

    The AI correlates specific plugin vulnerabilities with the sites in your list to find matches.
