Is WP-CLI safe to use in a hosting environment? Why?

It seems to be safe, since most of the hosting companies around the globe that offer LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) hosting services are providing it with WP-CLI already installed.

That said, generally speaking, WP-CLI is nothing but a bunch of WordPress functions implemented to run from the command line.

So, I understand that everything you can do with WP-CLI, you could also do without it, as long as you have SSH access to your server.

At the end of the day, I believe you have to take care of your SSH access policies more than WP-CLI.

And even if you decide not to install WP-CLI on your remote server, you can install it on your local machine and use it with ssh parameters to run commands on you remote server 🙂
