wp_list_posts

Read-only

Description

Use this tool to browse or search through your posts with filters like status (draft, published, scheduled), category, tag, author, or a keyword. This is normally the first step before editing, deleting, or reviewing a specific post — you list posts to find the one you want to work with, then use other tools to act on it.
