MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

Destructive · High delete-category Deleting a category is an irreversible action that removes the category from the WordPress site. Destructive · High delete-post Deletion of posts is a destructive action that permanently removes data from the WordPress site. Destructive · High delete-user Deleting a user is a destructive, non-reversible action that removes an account and typically associated metadata from the WordPress system. Write · Medium remove-referrer-spam This tool reverses a spam report on a referrer, which is a modification of existing data (changing its spam status).

12 of WordPress MCP Server's 29 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

HOW TO CONTROL WORDPRESS MCP SERVER

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and WordPress MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Deny destructive operations

{
  "delete-category": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "remove-referrer-spam": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "remove-referrer-spam_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "get-category": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "get-category_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Create a free account and register WordPress MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
