acf_get_fieldedit_posts

Get a single ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) field value from a post, formatted per the field's Return Format setting (image arrays, post objects, parsed repeater rows, etc.). Use this instead of wp_get_post_meta when ACF is active: wp_get_post_meta returns the raw serialized value, this returns the hydrated value the ACF UI would show.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "field_name": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "ACF field name or field key (e.g. \"subtitle\" or \"field_abc123\")"
    },
    "post_id": {
      "type": "integer",
      "description": "Post or page ID"
    }

    "post_id"
  ]
}
acf_get_fieldsedit_posts

Get every ACF field defined for a post in one call, with each field's name, label, type, and formatted value. The most efficient way for an AI agent to discover what ACF fields exist on a post and read them all without round-trips.

Parameter Schema1 parameter
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "post_id": {
      "type": "integer",
      "description": "Post or page ID"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "post_id"
  ]
}
acf_update_fieldedit_posts

Update an ACF field value on a post. Accepts the field name (or field key) and a value matching the field type: scalar for text/number/select-single, array for repeater rows / flexible content / select-multi, post ID for post_object/relationship, attachment ID for image/file. ACF stores it correctly per field type.
