MCPAdapterProvider::should_include_ability_by_default │ private static │ WC 1.0

Check if an ability should be included in the deprecated WooCommerce MCP endpoint.

REST-derived abilities can opt in to the deprecated WooCommerce MCP endpoint. Require explicit metadata so semantic/domain abilities can use WooCommerce namespaces without expanding the deprecated MCP tool list. This intentionally allows abilities from any namespace to opt in to the deprecated endpoint while keeping namespace and transport exposure separate.

Method of the class: MCPAdapterProvider{}

No Hooks.

Returns

true|false. Whether to include the ability by default.

Usage

$result = MCPAdapterProvider::should_include_ability_by_default( $ability_id ): bool;
$ability_id(string) (required)
Ability ID.
