Abilities API
On WordPress 6.9 and later (where the Abilities API is available), WB Ad Manager registers ability categories and abilities so AI agents and other tools can work with ads programmatically. This is optional - if the Abilities API is not present, nothing is registered and the plugin runs normally.
Categories
Section titled “Categories”| Category | Label |
|---|---|
wbam-ads |
Ad Management |
wbam-analytics |
Ad Analytics |
wbam-links |
Link Management |
Abilities
Section titled “Abilities”Abilities cover the same operations as the REST API - for example listing ads, getting an ad’s details, and creating an ad - each with a defined input/output schema and a permission check. They run under the same manage_options gate as the admin REST routes.
When it loads
Section titled “When it loads”Registration happens on dedicated Abilities API hooks only when wp_register_ability() exists. There is nothing to configure.
