In SEO point of view, does the following tag harm my website?

user-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-includes/
 
Blocking access to the "/wp-includes/" directory in your robots.txt file is typically fine for SEO, as it contains core WordPress files. Just be cautious to avoid blocking essential files and test your site afterward to ensure it functions correctly.
 
Looks perfectly fine, although it doesn't really do anything in terms of "security". If anything, it is a footprint that tells the bot/visitor that your site uses wp, without looking at anything else. There are 1000s of other ways to detect wp though.
