Abilities

Last updatedView as Markdown

Mantle registers twelve abilities with the WordPress Abilities API. Abilities are the tool surface the AI chatbot calls, and they are also reachable by any other Abilities API client on the site.

Abilities are also exposed over REST by the Abilities API itself at /wp-json/wp-abilities/v1/, independently of Mantle's own mantle/v1 namespace.

Relationship to the AI routes

Three Mantle REST routes wrap abilities for the block editor:

Flow

Editor to ability

6 relationships
The editor talks to Mantle’s namespace; Mantle invokes the corresponding ability.

Generated block markup passes through validation before it reaches the editor. Modules\AI_Chatbot\Validation contains a block validator, a markup sanitizer, a design linter, and a content preparer, so malformed or off-brand markup is rejected or repaired rather than inserted directly.

Prompting against this surface

Review every class in includes/Model/Abilities/ and report, for each ability: its registered name, its input schema, whether it writes to the database, and which capability gates it. Flag any ability that mutates content without a capability check.
