# wp_delete_post Delete a post (moves to trash, or permanently if force=true) Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `wp_delete_post`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/wp-delete-post ## Facts - Tool: `wp_delete_post` - Server: Wordpress (`@cavort-it-systems/wordpress-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp.md - Install: `npx -y @cavort-it-systems/wordpress-mcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/cvrt-jh/wordpress-mcp - Risk category: Destructive (Critical risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Hidden ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "wp_delete_post", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why wp_delete_post is rated Critical This tool irreversibly deletes or overwrites data. Even though trashing is reversible, the force=true parameter enables permanent deletion which cannot be undone. The high severity reflects that an AI agent could permanently remove critical website content, posts, or associated data without recovery options. Destructive is more severe than Write (which is reversible) and takes precedence over other categories. From the tool's own definition: "The tool description explicitly states it can 'Delete a post' and notes that it 'permanently' deletes if force=true. The name 'wp_delete_post' combined with the capability to permanently remove content makes this a destructive operation." ## Use case AI agents call wp_delete_post to permanently remove resources in Wordpress, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Wordpress: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "hide": [ "wp_delete_post" ] } ``` ## Other tools on Wordpress (313) - `acf_delete_field_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/acf-delete-field-group.md - `fields_delete_definition` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/fields-delete-definition.md - `fort_cache_purge` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/fort-cache-purge.md - `legal_delete_section` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/legal-delete-section.md - `legal_put_document` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/legal-put-document.md - `legal_reset_accessibility_report` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/legal-reset-accessibility-report.md - `legal_restore_generator` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/legal-restore-generator.md - `mcp_bulk_delete_media` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/mcp-bulk-delete-media.md - `mcp_clean_comments` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/mcp-clean-comments.md - `mcp_clean_revisions` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/mcp-clean-revisions.md - `mcp_delete_cpt_post` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/mcp-delete-cpt-post.md - `mcp_delete_media` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/mcp-delete-media.md - `mcp_delete_menu` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/mcp-delete-menu.md - `mcp_delete_menu_item` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/mcp-delete-menu-item.md - `mcp_delete_option` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/mcp-delete-option.md - `mcp_delete_term` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/mcp-delete-term.md - `mcp_delete_theme` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/mcp-delete-theme.md - `mcp_delete_user` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/mcp-delete-user.md - `mcp_delete_widget` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/mcp-delete-widget.md - `mcp_flush_cache` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/mcp-flush-cache.md - `seo_clear_monitor_log` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/seo-clear-monitor-log.md - `seo_delete_post_seo` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/seo-delete-post-seo.md - `seo_delete_redirect` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/seo-delete-redirect.md - `seo_delete_term_seo` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/seo-delete-term-seo.md - `stripe_recreate_webhook` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/stripe-recreate-webhook.md - `woo_delete_category` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/woo-delete-category.md - `woo_delete_coupon` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/woo-delete-coupon.md - `woo_delete_product` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/woo-delete-product.md - `woo_delete_variation` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/woo-delete-variation.md - `woo_helper_create_invoice` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp/woo-helper-create-invoice.md - …and 283 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-cvrt-jh-wordpress-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
