## Why wp_list_posts is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves post data from WordPress without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. The verb 'list' combined with 'optional filters' is a classic read-only operation. Even with optional filters, the tool merely constrains what data is retrieved, not what happens to it. Blast radius if misused is minimal—an agent could retrieve unwanted posts but cannot cause destructive effects.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'wp_list_posts' and description 'List WordPress posts with optional filters' indicate a retrieval operation with no data modification."

## Use case

AI agents call wp_list_posts 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_posts": {}
  }
}
```
