## Why rest_api_search is rated Low

This tool performs searches across WordPress content without modifying, deleting, or executing code. It retrieves and queries existing data (Posts, Pages, Terms) with no side effects. This is a classic Read operation with low blast radius—misuse would expose data already in the system, not cause irreversible changes or external effects.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'rest_api_search' and description 'Durchsucht alle WordPress-Inhalte (Posts, Pages, Terms, etc.)' [searches all WordPress content] indicate query/retrieval operations only."

## Use case

AI agents call rest_api_search 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches WordPress MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "rest_api_search": {}
  }
}
```
