Add a note (block comment) to a specific block. Notes are editorial feedback visible in the WordPress editor but not shown to site visitors.
AI agents use wp_add_note to create or update resources in Claudaborative Editing — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Claudaborative Editing environment.
wp_add_note creates new editorial notes/comments within the WordPress editor. This is a reversible write operation (notes can be deleted or edited), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. The severity is medium because notes are editor-only and not published to site visitors, limiting blast radius, but an AI agent could spam, pollute, or confuse editorial workflows by adding misleading notes at scale.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Add a note (block comment) to a specific block' - this is a create/write operation that adds data (editorial feedback) to WordPress blocks.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access wp_add_note gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Claudaborative Editing, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for wp_add_note:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"wp_add_note": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "wp_add_note_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}wp_add_note 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.
