Test connection to WordPress REST API.
AI agents call wordpress_test_connection to retrieve information from MCP Wordpress without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Testing a connection is a read-only diagnostic operation that checks reachability/availability of the API without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It has minimal blast radius if misused.
