wp_upload_media

Description

Use this tool to upload an image or file from a URL directly into your WordPress media library. Your AI can download the file, assign it a title, and add it to the library — ready to use as a featured image or to be embedded in posts and pages. This is perfect for automated content workflows where media needs to be sourced and uploaded without manual effort.
