What wp_create_post does on Claudaborative Editing

Why wp_create_post needs a policy

This tool creates new data (a WordPress post) reversibly. While the blast radius is significant in a publishing context (an AI agent could create unwanted posts that reach audiences), the action is reversible via deletion. It does not permanently destroy data, execute arbitrary code, move money, or trigger external operations unpredictably. Therefore it falls under Write rather than Execute or Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'wp_create_post' and description states 'Create a new WordPress post and open it for editing' — explicitly creates new content.

How to control wp_create_post

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_create_post:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "wp_create_post": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "wp_create_post_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

wp_create_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 Claudaborative Editing — 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.
