## Description

AcrossAI Abilities Manager gives site administrators full visibility and control
over every ability registered via the WordPress Abilities API (`wp_get_ability()`).

**Features:**

 * **Browse all abilities** — a searchable, sortable, paginated table listing every
   registered ability with slug, provider, source, and current status.
 * **Toggle allow/disallow** — enable or disable any ability site-wide with a single
   click. Changes are saved instantly without a page reload.
 * **Edit ability metadata** — override `readonly`, `destructive`, `idempotent`,`
   show_in_rest`, `show_in_mcp`, `mcp_type`, and `mcp_servers` fields per ability
   using a tri-state system (Yes / No / Inherit from registry).
 * **Reset overrides** — restore any ability back to its registry defaults with 
   one click.
 * **Bulk actions** — allow, disallow, or reset up to 50 abilities at once.
 * **Ability Library** — enable or disable add-on ability groups from a dedicated
   Library page, with All/Specific mode controls per group.
 * **Add-ons page** — browse, install, and manage free and premium add-ons directly
   from the WordPress admin. Powered by [wpb-addons-page](https://github.com/WPBoilerplate/wpb-addons-page).
 * **MCP server list** — view all registered MCP servers when the MCP Adapter plugin
   is active.

All overrides are stored in a dedicated database table. The WordPress ability registry
is never modified — only the fields that differ from registry defaults are persisted.

**Security:**

 * All endpoints require `manage_options` capability.
 * All state-changing requests are protected by WordPress nonce verification.
 * All input is sanitized; all output is escaped.

**Third-party integrations (optional):**

 * **MCP Adapter plugin** — if active, the plugin displays a list of registered 
   MCP servers inside the ability edit panel. No data is sent to any external service.
   The MCP Adapter plugin communicates only with your own WordPress installation.
 * **Freemius** — the Add-ons page uses Freemius to handle paid add-on purchases,
   license management, and automatic updates. Data is only sent after explicit user
   action (see “External Services” below).

No data is sent to any external server automatically by this plugin.

### External Services

**Freemius** (https://freemius.com)

The Add-ons page is powered by [wpb-addons-page](https://github.com/WPBoilerplate/wpb-addons-page),
which integrates with Freemius to handle paid add-on purchases, license management,
and automatic updates for premium add-ons.

When a user chooses to connect their account or purchase a paid add-on, the following
data is sent to Freemius servers:

 * WordPress admin email address
 * Site URL
 * WordPress and PHP version

This only happens after explicit user action (clicking **Login / Connect** or **
Buy** on the Add-ons page). No data is sent automatically on plugin activation or
on any other page.

Freemius Terms of Service: https://freemius.com/terms/
 Freemius Privacy Policy:
https://freemius.com/privacy/

Free add-ons listed on the Add-ons page are hosted on WordPress.org and installed
via the standard WordPress plugin installer. No external service is involved for
free add-ons.

### Privacy Policy

This plugin does not collect or store any user data by itself.

If a user chooses to connect their account via the Add-ons page, data is handled
by Freemius in accordance with their privacy policy:
 https://freemius.com/privacy/

No data is sent to any external server without explicit user action.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `acrossai-abilities-manager` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. Navigate to **AcrossAI Abilities Manager** in the WordPress admin menu.

**Add-ons:**

 1. Go to **AcrossAI Abilities Manager  Add-ons** to browse available add-ons.
 2. Free add-ons can be installed with one click via the standard WordPress plugin 
    installer.
 3. Paid add-ons require connecting your account — click **Buy** on any paid add-on
    to begin.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin support Multisite?

No. This plugin has not been tested on WordPress Multisite installations.

### Does this plugin modify the WordPress ability registry?

No. The plugin stores only overrides — fields that differ from the registry defaults.
The ability registry itself (`wp_get_ability()`) is never modified.

### What happens when I reset an override?

The override row is deleted from the database. The ability will inherit its values
from the registry again.

### What is the Ability Library?

The Library page lets you enable or disable ability groups registered by add-on 
plugins. Each group shows an ON/OFF master toggle and an All/Specific mode selector.
In Specific mode, individual ability slots can be toggled independently.

### What is the MCP Adapter integration?

If the MCP Adapter plugin is active on your site, AcrossAI Abilities Manager will
display the list of registered MCP servers in the ability edit panel. This is entirely
optional — the plugin works without the MCP Adapter.

### Does this plugin make external HTTP requests?

Only when you explicitly interact with the Add-ons page to connect your account 
or purchase a paid add-on. In that case, data is sent to Freemius (see “External
Services”). No external requests are made otherwise.
