AI agents use schedule-post to create or update resources in AutoWP MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your AutoWP MCP Server environment.

Why schedule-post needs a policy

Scheduling a post modifies post metadata (publication time) and triggers WordPress workflows, but does not permanently destroy data or execute arbitrary code. The action is reversible: the schedule can be changed or cancelled before publication.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'schedule-post' and description 'Schedule a WordPress post for future publication' indicate the creation or modification of post publishing metadata without permanent deletion.

How to control schedule-post

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AutoWP MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for schedule-post:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "schedule-post": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "schedule-post_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

schedule-post 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.

  1. Create a free account and register AutoWP MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
