RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs mcp_optimize_tables safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Wordpress, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For mcp_optimize_tables, this is the rule to start with:

mcp_optimize_tables Rate-limited

mcp_optimize_tables stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
