WHAT IT DOES

What auth_status does on WordPress MCP Server

AI agents call auth_status 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 auth_status is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays authentication status information without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a read-only diagnostic query. The severity is low because authentication status disclosure is informational and has minimal blast radius—an AI agent misusing this tool cannot directly compromise security or cause harm beyond revealing what authentication method is in use.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'auth_status' and description 'Zeigt den aktuellen Authentifizierungsstatus und -methode' (Shows the current authentication status and method) indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs auth_status safely

auth_status Allowed

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

View as policy code

policy.json

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

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 auth_status call is checked against it from then on.
