RECOMMENDED RULE

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

seo_sitemap_ping Rate-limited

seo_sitemap_ping 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.
