Destructive

Description

Retired campaign pages, outdated offer pages, or leftover test content — ask your AI to find and remove them without navigating the WordPress admin. Easy MCP AI supports both trash and permanent deletion, and the AI naturally confirms the target by listing or searching pages first before committing to a destructive action. Per-token tool permissions in Easy MCP AI let you grant deletion access only to the tokens that need it, keeping your site's page structure safe from accidental removal.
