WHAT IT DOES

What sideload_stock_image does on Elementify MCP

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

RISK

Why sideload_stock_image is rated Medium

This tool downloads an external image and creates a new media attachment in the WordPress library. It is a Write operation (creates data reversibly — the attachment can be deleted later). It does not execute code, delete anything, or involve finances. The blast radius is medium because it could be misused to upload unwanted or malicious content into the media library, but it is reversible.

From the tool's definition Download a stock image URL into the WordPress media library. Returns the new attachment ID

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs sideload_stock_image safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Elementify MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For sideload_stock_image, this is the rule to start with:

sideload_stock_image Rate-limited

sideload_stock_image 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.
