wordpress_delete_plugin
EXPERIMENTAL: Permanently delete a WordPress plugin (must be deactivated first).
wordpress_delete_plugin
EXPERIMENTAL: Permanently delete a plugin. Requires plugin management to be enabled in Respira settings. The plugin must be deactivated first.
Parameters
2 parameters, 1 required.
| Name | Type | Required | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
slug | string | yes | Plugin folder name, or the exact plugin file wordpress_list_plugins reports. Both work, including names with spaces and capitals ("WP PROTECTION" or "WP PROTECTION/SECURITY.php"). Do not sanitize the name yourself: pass it exactly as WordPress spells it. |
approval_token | string | no | Second-step approval token returned by the first call. Echo it back unchanged with the same slug to confirm deletion. |
Example call
The smallest valid call, with the required parameters only:
{
"name": "wordpress_delete_plugin",
"arguments": {
"slug": "example-slug"
}
}
Response
{
"success": true,
"deleted": true,
"slug": "some-plugin"
}
What it changes
It removes or overwrites something on the site, so treat it as the careful kind of call. On a page or post the edit lands on a copy first. The live page changes only when a person approves the copy in wp-admin. Calling it twice with the same arguments leaves the site in the same state as calling it once. On a connection set to read-only it is refused with respira_scope_denied.
How long it takes
A typical call takes about 2.2 seconds. 19 in 20 finish within 3.9 seconds. Measured on real sites over the last week, so it includes the site's own hosting.
Availability
Works on any WordPress site, whichever page builder it uses. Available since Respira 1.0.0.
