Enable or disable rate-limiting on /wp-login.php to prevent brute-force attacks
AI agents use sitebay_toggle_waf_login_protection to create or update resources in SiteBay MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your SiteBay MCP Server environment.
This tool toggles a security configuration (WAF login protection) on or off, which is a reversible modification to site security settings. Misuse could disable brute-force protection, exposing the WordPress login page to attacks, but the action itself is reversible (can be re-enabled). It falls under Write as it modifies a configuration state without executing code or permanently destroying data.
