wordpress_remove_capability
AI agents call wordpress_remove_capability to permanently remove resources in WordPress MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Based on the tool name, 'remove_capability' strongly implies removing a permission or capability from a user/role in WordPress. This is a destructive, irreversible action (or difficult to reverse without knowing what was removed) that could strip access rights, effectively locking out users or breaking site functionality. The sibling tool 'wordpress_add_capability' confirms this is the inverse operation.
