create_comment · WordPress MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What create_comment does on WordPress MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why create_comment needs a policy

This tool creates new data (a comment) in a reversible manner. Comments can be edited or deleted later, making this a Write operation rather than Destructive. The severity is medium because malicious comment creation could enable spam, phishing, or defacement of a WordPress site, but the impact is contained to a single post's comment section and the damage is easily remediated by deletion or moderation.

From the tool's definition Tool name "create_comment" and description "Create a new comment on a WordPress post" indicate data creation without deletion or financial impact.
