FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI create new blog posts?

    No. This specific connector is built for listing and deleting existing content.

  • 02

    Will the AI delete posts without asking me?

    No. You must instruct the agent to delete specific items; it does not perform bulk deletions autonomously.

  • 03

    Can the AI change my theme or plugins?

    No. The agent only has access to post and page data.

  • 04

    Does the AI delete posts from the trash or permanently?

    The tool performs a direct deletion of the post as specified by the command.

  • 05

    Can I use this to update the text inside a post?

    No. The current tools only allow for listing and deleting content, not editing the body text.
