What revision_cleanup does on WordPress MCP Server
AI agents call revision_cleanup to permanently remove resources in WordPress MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why revision_cleanup is rated Critical
The tool explicitly deletes old post revisions from WordPress, which is an irreversible data removal operation. Deleted revisions cannot be recovered, making this Destructive. The blast radius is high because misuse (e.g., keeping only 1 version) could cause permanent loss of content history across many posts.
From the tool's definition 'Löscht alte Revisionen' (deletes old revisions) — irreversibly removes historical revision data, keeping only the last N versions

The rule that runs revision_cleanup safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and WordPress MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For revision_cleanup, this is the rule to start with:
revision_cleanup is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect WordPress MCP Server, apply this rule, and every revision_cleanup call is checked against it from then on.
