PluginRx Agent

PluginRx Agent is the site-side companion plugin required for any WordPress site managed by the PluginRx Control Center plugin. It acts as a secure, permission-based interface that exposes system information and performs explicitly allowed maintenance actions when requested by an authorized Control Center instance.

The Agent never initiates outbound management actions on its own. It responds only to authenticated, signed REST API requests originating from a paired Control Center and only for actions that the site owner has explicitly enabled.

This plugin is intended to be installed on every site you wish to monitor or manage remotely.

Core Responsibilities:

• Collect and expose system and configuration data
• Enforce fine-grained permission controls for remote actions
• Execute approved maintenance tasks locally
• Protect the site from unauthorized or destructive operations

Features:

• Expose WordPress core version and update availability
• Expose PHP version and environment details
• Report active themes and plugins with version data
• Report multisite status, admin email, ABSPATH, and server IP
• Report WP_DEBUG status
• Secure pairing with a PluginRx Control Center instance
• Capability-based action permissions (off by default)

Permitted Remote Actions (Opt-In):

• Update WordPress core
• Update plugins and themes
• Clear caches (when Clear Cache Everywhere plugin is installed)

Plugin Integrations (Detected Automatically):

Developer Debug Tools

• Expose debug log line count and file size
• Report online users and total users

Broken Link Notifier

• Expose broken link counts

Fake User Detector

• Expose number of flagged potential fake users

Clear Cache Everywhere

• Execute cache clears on request

All integrations are passive until explicitly enabled by the site owner.

The PluginRx Agent does not replace backups, security plugins, or hosting controls. Its sole purpose is controlled visibility and maintenance execution under owner-defined rules. Daily backups of your site are highly recommended.
