Before you start
Use AI Puffer 2.5.25 or later and Wordfence Security 9.0.2 or later on a single-site WordPress installation with the Abilities API. Connect your assistant as a WordPress administrator who can access Wordfence’s Scan screen.
Install and activate Wordfence Security and complete its setup in WordPress. The standalone Wordfence Login Security plugin is not this integration. No Wordfence Central connection is needed.
The status reader is available on AI Puffer Free and paid plans. It uses normal website actions, not AI Puffer AI credits. Testing used Wordfence’s free edition; Wordfence Premium-only features are outside this tested scope.
What the summary tells you
- Whether Wordfence reports a scan running.
- The last recorded scan outcome and finish time, when available.
- Open finding counts grouped as critical, high, medium, low or unclassified.
- The configured firewall mode and basic or extended protection, when recognized.
These are Wordfence’s saved records, not a new scan or a live test of the firewall. A running or failed scan can leave incomplete findings. No recorded scan, zero findings or an enabled firewall does not prove that a site is safe.
Review what needs attention
Open Wordfence › Scan to inspect individual findings or start a scan. Open Wordfence › Firewall to review protection and settings. Wordfence’s scan guide and dashboard guide explain its native screens.
The assistant receives counts and status only. It does not receive finding descriptions, affected file paths, visitor IP addresses, live-traffic logs or licence keys through this reader. It does not start or stop scans, repair files, dismiss findings, block visitors or change protection. Read only, Standard and Trusted all use the same read-only summary and the connected user’s permissions.
