The Abilities screen shows everything registered on your WordPress site that can potentially be made available to an AI client. Each ability represents an action or capability that an AI client can use to interact with your website.
AtlasMCP separates registered abilities from the abilities actually offered to AI clients. Access to each ability is controlled separately through Access Control.
To check or customize the abilities follow the below instruction:
Navigate to AtlasMCP plugin dahsboad → click Abilities tab.
Abilities Overview #
At the top of the Abilities screen, AtlasMCP provides an overview of your registered abilities:
- Registered: The total number of abilities registered on your site.
- Offered to AI Clients: The number of registered abilities currently available to AI clients.
- Module Switched Off: The number of abilities that are unavailable because their associated module is switched off.
- Needs a Description: The number of abilities that need better or additional descriptions for AI clients to use them reliably.
Ability Information #
Each ability provides information that helps you understand where it comes from and how well it describes itself to an AI client.
The list includes:
- Owner: Shows where the ability comes from, such as AtlasMCP or WordPress core.
- Endpoint: Indicates whether the ability is read-only or can write to the site.
- Grade: Shows how well the ability describes itself for AI clients.
- Offered: Indicates whether the ability is currently offered to AI clients.
- Hide: Allows an ability to be excluded from the abilities offered to AI clients.
Ability Grades #
AtlasMCP grades abilities based on the quality of their endpoint descriptions. The grade indicates how easily an AI model can understand and correctly call the ability.
- Grade A — Ready to Use: Every parameter is typed and described, allowing an AI model to understand what the ability does and how to call it correctly.
- Grade B — Usable but Thin: The parameters are typed, but some parameters do not have descriptions. An AI model may therefore need to infer what information should be provided.
- Grade C — Not Ready: The ability does not provide enough information for an AI model to understand what it does or how to call it reliably.
Adding an appropriate description can improve the ability’s usability.
Note: The grade measures how well an endpoint describes itself. It does not indicate whether an ability is useful or safe.
