Update agent is a WordPress ability from LatePoint — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Update agent
WriteEdit one or more fields on an existing agent's profile.
Requires the LatePoint plugin on WordPress 6.9+ (the WordPress Abilities API is only available from 6.9 onward). All abilities also require the site's 'latepoint_abilities_api' master toggle to be enabled; write abilities additionally require the 'latepoint_abilities_api_edit' setting, and destructive abilities additionally require the 'latepoint_abilities_api_delete' setting. Each ability further requires the current user to hold the matching LatePoint capability (e.g. 'booking__view', 'customer__edit'), and some abilities also verify the user is allowed to act on that specific record.
What it does
This ability updates an existing LatePoint agent, changing only the fields you provide (first name, last name, email, phone, or bio) while leaving the rest untouched. It looks the agent up by ID first, returning a not-found error if none exists, and returns the agent's full updated profile once saved.
