RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs seo_import_settings 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 seo_import_settings, this is the rule to start with:

seo_import_settings Rate-limited

seo_import_settings stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "seo_import_settings": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "seo_import_settings_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Wordpress, apply this rule, and every seo_import_settings call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Import settings from a flat { csm_name: value } map (the seo_export_settings shape). Only csm_* keys are written; secrets (csm_indexnow_key, csm_gsc_service_account, csm_github_token) are never imported. Returns the number of options written. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Wordpress MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on seo_import_settings? +

Register the Wordpress MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for seo_import_settings: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Wordpress. Nothing to install.

What risk level is seo_import_settings? +

seo_import_settings is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

How do I block seo_import_settings completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for seo_import_settings. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
