Short description of error
Create an armature, enter Pose Mode and press Shift+A to open the add menu.

It looks like someone tried disabling all items, but half of them are actually still selectable:

I propose to disable the add menu in Pose Mode, matching all other modes behavior (besides Edit Mode, of course).

Thanks for the report. I can't be 100% sure that there isn't supposed to be another add menu for pose mode, but having this add menu assigned to shift A seems quite wrong.

In the Python API, you can add new bones via bpy.data.objects["Armature"].data.edit_bones.new(), but there exists no such function for bpy.data.objects["Armature"].pose.bones.
So I assume you can't really make it add bones there - not sure if anything else would make sense.

But since Sculpt Mode has Shift+A bound to a mask operation, I assume that shortcut could be used for other things in Pose Mode then!
