What the Assistant Can Do

When you connect an AI assistant such as Claude Desktop through the Promptless connector, it gets 52 tools. Each tool is one action the assistant can take on your site. This page lists every tool by task, so you can see what the assistant can do and what it cannot.

You never call these tools yourself. You ask in plain language, and the assistant picks the tool. The names are useful when you read what the assistant did, or when you want to ask for a specific action.

Tools that remove or reset something say Removes in the table.

Site status and setup

Tool	What it does	Limits
`wordpress_preflight`	Checks that the site is ready: license, your permissions, plugin version, and whether image generation and stock photos are set up.	The assistant calls it first in every session.
`wordpress_status`	Lists every Promptless page, every menu, and the menu locations your theme provides.	Shows only the pages you are allowed to reach.
`wordpress_front_page_get`	Reads which page is the home page and which is the blog (Posts) page.	Read only.
`wordpress_front_page_set`	Sets the home page, sets or clears the Posts page, or switches back to showing latest posts.	A Posts page whose address matches a custom post type archive hides that archive.

Pages

Tool	What it does	Limits
`wordpress_scaffold`	Creates a set of pages with their parent and child structure, turns Promptless WP on for each, and can build a menu for them.	The menu is created only if you can manage menus.
`wordpress_deploy_content`	Writes the full list of sections to one page and can publish it.	Replaces every section on the page. It refuses if the page changed since the assistant last read it.
`wordpress_batch_deploy`	Writes sections to several pages in one request.	For new, empty pages only. It does not check for your manual edits, so it can overwrite them.
`wordpress_get_page_content`	Reads the sections on one page.	Promptless pages only.
`wordpress_update_page`	Changes a page’s title, address (slug), parent or status without touching its sections.	A slug or parent change records a redirect from the old address.
`wordpress_delete_page`	Removes one Promptless page. Can redirect its old address to another page.	Moves the page to the trash unless the assistant asks for permanent deletion. Other pages and posts are refused.
`wordpress_reset`	Removes every Promptless page and every menu you can reach.	Needs the confirmation phrase `RESET_ALL_PAGES`. Pages go to the trash by default.

Sections and design checks

Tool	What it does	Limits
`wordpress_update_section`	Changes chosen fields on one section and leaves everything else as it is.	The usual tool for edits to existing content.
`wordpress_append_sections`	Adds new sections to a page, at the end or before a chosen section.	Existing sections are kept.
`wordpress_lint_sections`	Checks a set of sections against the design rules before they are saved, for example three dark sections in a row.	Advice only. It never blocks or saves anything.

`wordpress_color_presets_create`	Saves a new palette of 12 colors.	Saving does not apply it.
`wordpress_color_presets_update`	Changes colors in a saved palette.	Pages using the palette keep the old colors until it is relinked.
`wordpress_color_presets_apply`	Makes a saved palette the site’s active colors.	Changes the look of every section on the site.
`wordpress_color_presets_relink`	Pushes a palette’s current colors to every section that uses it.	Can do a dry run first to count the pages it would change.
`wordpress_color_presets_delete`	Removes a saved palette.	The active colors stay as they are.
`wordpress_install_font`	Downloads a Google Fonts family to your site so pages load it from your own server.	Installing does not apply it. Commercial fonts cannot be installed.

What limits the assistant

The assistant acts as the WordPress user whose application password the connector uses. It can do only what that user can do:

Requirement	Applies to
A Promptless WP premium license and the edit pages capability	Every tool. Without them, every request is refused.
The publish pages capability	Publishing a page. Without it, content is saved but the page stays unpublished.
Developer access in Promptless WP (Administrators have it)	Every tool that changes the whole site: design settings, color palettes (create, update, delete, apply, relink), fonts, the header, footer and announcement bar, business identity, popups, reusable elements, the front page, `wordpress_scaffold` and `wordpress_reset`. Reading them needs only the first row.
The edit theme options capability (Administrators have it)	The three menu tools, and the menu that `wordpress_scaffold` can create.
Permission to edit or delete that specific page	Reading, deploying to, updating and deleting a page, and pointing a redirect at it.

If the user is a scoped editor, department scoping also applies: the assistant sees and changes only the pages in that person’s departments, and wordpress_status, wordpress_validate_site and wordpress_reset cover only those pages.

Developer access is the same rule the editor uses for Global Settings: it is the Promptless WP Access Level on the user’s profile (see Departments and Editor Access). An assistant connected as an Editor can build and edit pages but gets a “needs Developer access” refusal from the site-wide tools. wordpress_preflight reports which applies, as can_manage_site_settings.

Full parameters

For every tool’s fields and accepted values, the connector serves its schema document at /wp-json/promptless/v1/site/schema on your site. The assistant reads it at the start of each session.
