WHAT IT DOES

What wp_list_posts does on Claudaborative Editing

AI agents call wp_list_posts to retrieve information from Claudaborative Editing without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

THE RISK

Low Risk

Why wp_list_posts needs a policy

This is a straightforward data retrieval operation that queries existing WordPress posts. It allows filtering by status (published, drafts, etc.) but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The ability to see draft posts does not elevate the risk—it is still purely informational.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'wp_list_posts' and description stating 'List WordPress posts with optional filters' indicates retrieval and querying of data with no modification or side effects.

POLICY

How to control wp_list_posts

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_list_posts:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "wp_list_posts": {}
  }
}

wp_list_posts is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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