WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why wordpress_create_redirect needs a policy

Creating redirects modifies site structure and routing rules, typically reversibly (redirects can be deleted or updated). This is a Write operation rather than Execute (which would be code/script execution) or Destructive (which would be irreversible). Severity is medium because misconfigured redirects could break site navigation or be used for phishing, but effects are generally reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'wordpress_create_redirect' indicates creation of URL redirects, which modifies site routing configuration. No description provided to clarify scope or reversibility.
