What wp_themes_install does on Hostinger
AI agents use wp_themes_install to create or update resources in Hostinger, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Hostinger environment.
Why wp_themes_install is rated Medium
Installing a WordPress theme modifies site state by adding new code and configuration to the WordPress installation. This is reversible (themes can be uninstalled or replaced), making it Write rather than Destructive. The severity is medium because a malicious or poorly-vetted theme could introduce security vulnerabilities, but the blast radius is limited to the WordPress site itself.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'wp_themes_install' and description 'Install a WordPress theme' indicate creation/modification of site configuration by adding new theme assets.
