How to control wordpress_delete_reusable_block ↓

AI agents call wordpress_delete_reusable_block to permanently remove resources in WordPress MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

Deletion of reusable blocks is a destructive action that cannot be undone without a backup. Misuse could cause widespread content loss if blocks are used across many posts or pages. The 'delete' verb is a definitive destructive indicator.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'wordpress_delete_reusable_block', which explicitly indicates deletion of a reusable block. The description is empty, but the name unambiguously indicates an irreversible deletion operation.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access wordpress_delete_reusable_block 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 wordpress_delete_reusable_block:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "wordpress_delete_reusable_block"
  ]
}

wordpress_delete_reusable_block disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  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.
