WHAT IT DOES

What wp_moderate_comments does on Wordpress

AI agents use wp_moderate_comments 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.

RISK

Why wp_moderate_comments is rated Medium

Moderating comments changes their status (e.g., approved, pending, spam) which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete comments permanently, but modifies their state in batch. Misuse could hide or expose many comments at once, giving it medium severity.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

wp_moderate_comments Rate-limited

wp_moderate_comments stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
