Delete or trash a WordPress post. Requires confirmDelete=true.
AI agents call wordpress_delete_post to permanently remove resources in ItchWPMCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly removes WordPress content (posts). Even though 'trash' may be recoverable in some contexts, the primary action described is deletion. This cannot be undone through the tool itself and represents permanent data loss. While severe, it affects individual posts rather than entire site infrastructure, making it 'high' rather than 'critical'.
