What wp_delete does on Hostinger
AI agents call wp_delete to permanently remove resources in Hostinger, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why wp_delete is rated Critical
This tool permanently removes a WordPress installation, which destroys all associated data, configurations, themes, plugins, and content. This is an irreversible operation with maximum blast radius if triggered by an AI agent without authorization. It falls under the Destructive category (most severe) rather than Execute because the action cannot be undone and results in complete data loss.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'wp_delete' and description states 'Delete a WordPress installation.' The verb 'Delete' combined with 'WordPress installation' indicates irreversible removal of data and infrastructure that cannot be undone.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs wp_delete safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Hostinger, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For wp_delete, this is the rule to start with:
wp_delete 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 Hostinger, apply this rule, and every wp_delete call is checked against it from then on.
