## Why wp_list_plugins is rated Low

This tool retrieves information about installed WordPress plugins without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a straightforward information-gathering operation that would only expose the installed plugin inventory. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent listing plugins cannot cause damage, though it may enable reconnaissance for follow-up attacks.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'wp_list_plugins' and description 'List all installed plugins' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call wp_list_plugins to retrieve information from Wordpress without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "wp_list_plugins": {}
  }
}
```
