Operating intent
The toolkit is designed for controlled, repeatable WordPress operations when an AI agent is involved. It is not a general-purpose wp-admin replacement, browser automation script, theme-development package, or server-management tool.

- Review the exact object that may change.
- Make the smallest useful update.

License Free Edition
The License Free edition is the premium edition. It includes everything in the standard licensed edition, removes activation requirements, and adds premium operator workflows. Most premium workflows use the included TechDex Toolkit Companion plugin because WordPress and third-party plugins do not always expose a clean application-password REST path.

Comment Spam Control

Writing Ping List

User Hygiene

- Preview or apply safe Wordfence templates.
- Update only safe, allowlisted Wordfence options.
- List, create, delete, or make permanent selected Wordfence blocks.
- List recent live traffic and security events.
What The Toolkit Does Not Do
- It does not replace human review.
- It does not make every WordPress action safe.
- It does not manage hosting accounts or servers.
- It does not perform direct database edits.
- It does not use browser automation as the primary execution path.
- It does not create application passwords.
- It does not support arbitrary raw REST mutations outside the command surface.
- It does not turn the delivered package into a source-code customization framework.
Rule Of Thumb
If the toolkit exposes a command, treat it as the supported path. If a capability is missing, request a toolkit update instead of asking an agent to patch the package, invent raw REST calls, or work around the guardrails.
