The wp/v2/menus API will return a 403 if the post parameter refers to a post object that isn’t a nav_menu_item. This isn’t a permissions issue – it’s just an invalid request, and the response should reflect that.

Hi @jkmassel! 👋

This isn't a permissions check, it's a request validity check, so IMHO it should be moved out of check_read_terms_permission_for_post.
