Why wp_set_title needs a policy

The tool modifies post title, which is reversible data. It does not delete content (Destructive), execute code (Execute), involve financial transactions (Financial), or retrieve data only (Read).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'wp_set_title' and description 'Set the post title' indicate modification of post metadata. This is a write operation that creates or modifies data reversibly within WordPress.

How to control wp_set_title

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_title:

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

wp_set_title 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.

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