What rest_api_batch does on WordPress MCP Server
AI agents invoke rest_api_batch to trigger actions in WordPress MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why rest_api_batch is rated High
This tool executes multiple REST API requests in a batch operation. Since it can combine arbitrary REST API calls (which may include reads, writes, deletes, or other operations), the aggregate effect spans multiple categories. The most severe applicable category is Execute, as it triggers external operations whose effects depend on arguments.
