Create a new comment on a WordPress post

How to control create-comment ↓

AI agents use create-comment to create or update resources in WordPress MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your WordPress MCP Server environment.

Medium Risk

This tool creates new content (comments) on a WordPress site, which is a reversible modification. It does not delete, execute arbitrary code, or move money. The severity is medium because malicious comment creation could enable spam, misinformation, or platform abuse, but the effects are reversible and typically subject to moderation controls.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create-comment' and description states 'Create a new comment on a WordPress post' — explicitly creates new data.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create-comment gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and WordPress MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create-comment:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create-comment": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create-comment_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create-comment 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 WordPress MCP Server — 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.
