How to control get_doc ↓

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

Low Risk

This tool performs a read-only retrieval operation on static WordPress documentation pages. It has no side effects, cannot modify data, execute code, or cause irreversible changes. The query operation is purely informational, making it a standard Read operation with low severity even if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves documentation content by ID or slug and returns markdown content with metadata. The description explicitly states it 'Get[s] the full content' with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_doc gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Wp Devdocs, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_doc:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_doc": {}
  }
}

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

  1. Create a free account and register Wp Devdocs — 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.
