## Why wp_list_widgets is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays widget configuration data from WordPress sidebars. It is a read-only operation with no side effects, no data modification, and no irreversible actions. The blast radius if misused is minimal—an AI agent could only enumerate existing widgets, not alter or delete them.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'wp_list_widgets' and description 'Zeigt alle aktiven Widgets in den Sidebars an' (Shows all active widgets in the sidebars) indicates retrieval of widget information without modification or deletion."

## Use case

AI agents call wp_list_widgets 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": {
    "wp_list_widgets": {}
  }
}
```
