Destructive

Description

Spam that slipped through, abusive replies, or an entire comment section that needs clearing after a post update — Easy MCP AI lets your AI permanently remove comments without touching the WordPress admin panel. The AI client will list and filter comments first to confirm the correct IDs, then issue the deletion through Easy MCP AI in one call. For recoverable removal, use wp_update_comment to trash instead; Easy MCP AI's per-token tool permissions also let you restrict permanent deletion to specifically authorized AI sessions.
