Moderate a WordPress comment by changing its status.
AI agents use wordpress_moderate_comment to create or update resources in MCP Wordpress — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your MCP Wordpress environment.
This tool modifies a comment's status (e.g., approve, hold, spam) which is a data modification operation. While it alters state, it is reversible—a moderated comment can be un-moderated. This places it in Write rather than Destructive. Severity is medium because improper moderation could suppress legitimate user content or approve spam, affecting site quality and user experience, but the effects are reversible.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it changes comment status, which modifies data. The word 'moderate' and 'changing status' indicates reversible modification rather than deletion.
