WHAT IT DOES

What content_audit does on WP Astro MCP

AI agents call content_audit to retrieve information from WP Astro MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

THE RISK

Low Risk

Why content_audit needs a policy

This tool only reads and analyzes existing WordPress content to detect patterns and complexity. It performs no writes, executions, or deletions — it is purely an audit/inspection tool used for planning purposes.

From the tool's definition 'Sample posts and analyze content patterns: detect shortcodes, Gutenberg blocks, page builders, embeds, galleries, tables, forms, complexity distribution'

POLICY

How to control content_audit

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and WP Astro MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for content_audit:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "content_audit": {}
  }
}

content_audit is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register WP Astro MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
