AgentMod is an AI Agent Platform built natively for WordPress. Unlike standard AI chatbot plugins, AgentMod acts as an orchestration layer on top of the Connectors, WP AI Client, and Abilities API infrastructure introduced in WordPress 7.0.
Instead of writing custom integration code (glue-code) for external services, AgentMod creates an Ability Economy: it reads abilities exposed by plugins like WooCommerce (create_order), FluentCRM (create_contact), or Amelia (book_appointment) directly from the WordPress Core Registry and makes them available to AI agents — turning your site into an autonomous operating platform.
Key Features (Free Version)
AI Orchestration Engine
A stateless, model-agnostic agent engine built on the native WordPress AI Client. Supports sequential and parallel multiple ability calls via WP_AI_Client_Ability_Function_Resolver.
Admin Chat Widget
A React-based chat panel triggered from the WordPress Admin Bar. Built with @wordpress/components Modal architecture. Includes a “New Topic” button to reset the session and conversation history at any time.
Context Scope Selector A toggle control inside the chat composer that lets the user decide whether the AI agent can read site data or should operate on general knowledge only.
Search & Content Tools – Search queries return a maximum of 20 post titles/excerpts per call. – Full content processing is limited to a maximum of 5 post bodies at once. Requests like “Analyze all 500 posts” are gracefully declined. – A maximum of 10 ability calls are allowed per message cycle.
Write Action Confirmation Modal
When an agent triggers a database-modifying ability such as create_post or send_email, an approval modal is shown to the user with a summary of the action. The operation is not executed until the user explicitly confirms.
Smart Response Rendering
– Plain text responses are rendered as Markdown with “Copy Text” and “Create Draft” action buttons.
– Code block responses (HTML, CSS, PHP, etc.) are displayed in a syntax-highlighted <pre> container with a “Copy Code” button.
Site Management Abilities
A group of abilities that let the agent administer the WordPress installation itself, covering the same ground as the wp plugin, wp theme, wp option, wp user, wp core and wp cron command families — without needing shell access or WP-CLI:
– Plugins and themes: list, look up, search the WordPress.org directory, install from a slug or a .zip, activate, deactivate, update and delete.
– Settings: browse WordPress’ registered settings with their declared types, and update them with schema validation. Individual options can be read and written too.
– System: report the WordPress, PHP and MySQL versions, pending updates and whether the site permits file modifications; list scheduled cron events; flush the object cache and rewrite rules.
– Users: list accounts, create users, edit profiles, change roles, send password resets and delete accounts with content reassignment.
Every destructive or state-changing ability in this group goes through the approval modal, and guards refuse the operations that would break the site: writing siteurl, deactivating AgentMod itself, deleting the active theme, removing the last administrator or the account you are signed in as. Passwords are never generated into a response — WordPress sends its standard emails instead.
Ability Registry Browser A dedicated sub-menu page under AgentMod lists all abilities currently registered on WordPress Core Registry, with detailed information for each.
Secure System Directives
The PromptBuilder enforces strict system-level directives that prevent agents from performing destructive actions and require them to ask clarifying questions in ambiguous situations.
Developer Hook System A comprehensive set of PHP and JavaScript hooks for extending AgentMod: – Filters for prompt modification (before/after) – Actions for ability execution lifecycle (before/after) – ChatPanel UI customization hooks (add/remove tools, sections)
