WHAT IT DOES

What admin_list_roles does on WordPress MCP Server

AI agents call admin_list_roles to retrieve information from WordPress MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why admin_list_roles is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays WordPress user roles and their associated capabilities. It performs no modification, deletion, or execution of external operations. The action is purely informational—listing existing data structures. While understanding role capabilities could theoretically inform privilege escalation, the tool itself only reads data, making it a Read category risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'admin_list_roles' and description 'Listet alle WordPress-Benutzerrollen mit Capabilities auf' (Lists all WordPress user roles with capabilities) indicate data retrieval only.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs admin_list_roles safely

admin_list_roles Allowed

admin_list_roles is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "admin_list_roles": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect WordPress MCP Server, apply this rule, and every admin_list_roles call is checked against it from then on.
