Why wp_set_date needs a policy

This tool changes post metadata (publication date), which is a Write operation - it creates or modifies data reversibly. While scheduling publication affects visibility and audience reach, it is not Destructive (can be undone), Execute (does not run code or external operations), or Financial.

From the tool's definition "Set the post publication date" - modifies post metadata (publication date) which is a reversible change. The description indicates it sets/modifies a post attribute.

POLICY

How to control wp_set_date

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_set_date:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "wp_set_date": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "wp_set_date_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

wp_set_date 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.

Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
