  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why wp_create_tag is rated Medium

Creating a tag modifies WordPress data structure by adding a new taxonomy term. This is reversible (tags can be deleted), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. However, it carries medium severity because careless or malicious tag creation could pollute the taxonomy, affect site navigation/organization, and potentially be used in conjunction with posts to manipulate content visibility or SEO.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'wp_create_tag' with description 'Create a new tag' — the verb 'create' and description explicitly indicate data creation/addition to the WordPress system."

## Use case

AI agents use wp_create_tag to create or update resources in Wordpress, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Wordpress environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Wordpress:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "wp_create_tag": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "wp_create_tag_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
