Identify the connected site: name, description, URL, REST namespaces, the authenticated user and their capabilities, plus bridge/Elementor/plugin versions. Start here when you inherit a project.

Diagnose connectivity in layers: REST reachable, credentials accepted, bridge claimed, Elementor present, permalinks, and debug log size. Use before blaming the code.

List content with filters. Returns compact rows by default (no full content). Use wp_content_get for the body.

Fetch a single item by ID or slug, including raw and rendered content plus open Graph-ish fields.

Create content. Returns the new ID and link. Supports meta, taxonomy terms and page templates.

Patch an existing item. Only supplied fields change. For a full Elementor rewrite use wp_el_set instead.

Moves to trash by default. force=true bypasses trash forever and requires confirm:"delete".

List attachments with optional MIME filter and search.

Upload a local file to the media library. Provide path, or url to sideload a remote file.

List categories, tags or any public taxonomy.

Create a category or tag.

List users with roles. Requires administrator credentials.

List installed plugins with status and available updates.

Activate, deactivate, install (from wordpress.org by slug) or delete a plugin. Deletion requires confirm:"delete". Activating an untrusted plugin is a security decision.

List installed themes and which one is active.

Switch the active theme. Changing themes on a live site is high-impact; prefer a staging copy.

Read the REST-exposed site settings (title, description, timezone, permalinks, front page).

Update REST-exposed settings. Arbitrary options need wp_php_run or wp_db_query.

Search across posts, pages and media in one call. Use this to locate content before editing it.

Report the bridge plugin version, environment (WP/PHP/theme/plugins) and the safety flags that gate PHP, shell, DB writes and file writes.

Toggle server-side capabilities: allow_php, allow_shell, allow_db_write, allow_file_write, allow_plugins. Start read-only and widen only when the task demands it.

Execute PHP inside the live WordPress runtime with WordPress loaded ($wpdb, WP_Query, all plugins available). Output buffering and return values are captured; fatal errors are reported. Use it to inspect real state, not to guess. Requires confirm:"run".

Run a single SQL statement against the WordPress database. SELECT/SHOW/EXPLAIN are allowed read-only; writes need allow_db_write. Supports %s/%d placeholders through params. DROP DATABASE, GRANT, OUTFILE and multi-statements are blocked.

list, read, stat, write, append, mkdir or delete files under wp-content. Writes are jailed, extension-limited, and the previous file is backed up under wp-content/woodpresser-backups.

List PHP snippets stored by the bridge. Snippets are versioned PHP blocks with a scope (init, admin_init, wp_head, wp_footer, manual) and an active flag — the safe way to add behaviour without editing theme files.

Save a snippet. Omit id to create; pass id to update. Keep active=false, test with wp_snippet_run, then activate.

Run one stored snippet immediately and return its output, regardless of active state. Ideal dry-run before activation.

Permanently remove a stored snippet. Requires confirm:"delete".

Direct access to any post meta key, including keys hidden from REST (SEO plugins, page builders, custom fields). Actions: get (all or one key), set, delete.

Recent mutating calls recorded by the bridge, newest first. Check this when you need to know what an agent already changed.

Report whether Elementor (and Pro) is active, its version, and whether flexbox containers are enabled.

Enumerate every registered widget name (widgetType) with its title and category. Call this before building a page so you only reference widgets that actually exist on this site.

Read the Elementor tree for a page. format=summary gives a compact outline (default); raw returns the full JSON tree for precise edits.

Convert a compact section/column/widget spec into Elementor data and (unless dry_run) write it. If post_id is omitted, a new page is created. Always inspect the dry_run output first. Widget settings use Elementor setting keys (e.g. heading: {title, header_size}; button: {text, link:{url}}).

Replace the whole Elementor tree for a page. Use wp_el_build for authored pages and this only when you already have valid Elementor JSON. Snapshots the previous tree automatically. Requires confirm:"overwrite".

Update settings on specific nodes without rewriting the page. Paths come from wp_el_get (format=raw or summary), e.g. "0/1/2". Settings are deep-merged into the node.

List the five most recent automatic snapshots for a page (metadata only).

Roll a page back to a snapshot index. The current tree is snapshotted first, so this is reversible.

Regenerate Elementor CSS and flush the object cache. Run after bulk edits if the front end looks stale.
