It **observes and intercepts** outbound HTTP **that other code on your site already initiates** (plugins, themes, or core)—so you can see **which plugin** was involved,** how much** activity you are seeing (including helpful estimates), and **optionally stop** unwanted **WordPress AI Client** traffic for specific plugins. **This plugin does not** call external AI APIs for its own dashboard, analytics, or licensing. Nothing is sent to us or to a third-party analytics service. **Why use it** * **Visibility** — Dashboard summaries, a per-plugin usage table, and a request log so surprises become visible early. * **Spend awareness** — When other software calls paid APIs, usage adds up. Logging helps you notice patterns before invoices or quotas become a problem. * **Safer sharing** — Knowing what leaves your server makes it easier to decide what belongs in prompts and what does not. * **Optional blocking** — For paths that use WordPress’s AI Client, you can block generations from selected plugins under **Grumpy AI Gate Settings** (save to apply). **How it works** * When the **WordPress AI Client** is available, the plugin records those requests from core lifecycle hooks (other code still drives the actual generation). * For **HTTP fallback**, Grumpy AI Gate **hooks WordPress’s HTTP API** (for example` pre_http_request`) to **inspect requests that are already in flight**. If a URL matches **built-in recognition rules** for major AI providers, a log row can be stored. **Grumpy AI Gate does not open those connections for its own purposes**— it only filters and classifies traffic **initiated elsewhere** on the site. * **HTTP fallback does not block** outbound API calls in the current release—it is there so you still get visibility when plugins talk to providers **directly over HTTP** instead of (or in addition to) AI Client flows. **Compatibility** The plugin requires **WordPress 7.0+** (matches **Requires at least** in the plugin header). On WordPress **7.x**, it works with **core AI Client** functionality where available. Release testing included **WordPress 7.0 Beta 5**. **HTTP fallback** remains important on every supported version—it records calls to **recognized provider endpoints** that **other plugins** make **directly over HTTP**, which is still common alongside (or instead of) AI Client–based flows. **Privacy** Everything is stored **locally in your WordPress database**. There is no cloud account, no telemetry, and no third-party analytics from this plugin. For technical details on logging, double-counting avoidance, and blocking limits, see the **FAQ** below. ### External services This plugin **does not** rely on third-party AI APIs, remote analytics, or any external service **for its own features**. All logging and settings stay on your site. **Provider names and URL patterns** included with the plugin are **local matching rules** only. They let Grumpy AI Gate **filter and classify** outbound HTTP requests that **plugins, themes, or WordPress core** may already be sending. They are **not** a list of servers this plugin calls to power the admin UI or to “phone home.” Your site may still contact third-party AI providers when **you or other software** use AI features—that traffic is separate from this plugin’s own network use (which does not include calling those providers for monitoring). ## سکرین شۆتەکان [⌊Dashboard with summary cards, top plugins, usage-by-plugin table, providers, and recent activity.⌉⌊Dashboard with summary cards, top plugins, usage-by-plugin table, providers, and recent activity.⌉[ Dashboard with summary cards, top plugins, usage-by-plugin table, providers, and recent activity.

Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install it from the **Plugins Add New** screen in your admin. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu. 3. Open **Grumpy AI Gate** in the admin menu. Review the **Dashboard** and **Request log**, then visit **Settings** to turn monitoring options on or off and configure optional per-plugin blocking. ## پهد ### Why monitor AI usage on my site? Plugins can trigger AI calls in the background—for content, assistants, SEO tools, and more. Logging gives you a clear picture of **which plugin** is active, **how often** requests run, and **where** traffic is going, so you can manage budgets and content thoughtfully. ### Will this help me control API costs? It helps you **see** usage and trends. **Optional blocking** reduces some **WordPress AI Client** traffic for plugins you choose. Outbound **HTTP** calls to provider APIs that **other code** makes are **logged for visibility** in the current release but are **not blocked** here—use provider dashboards, API keys, and quotas for hard spend limits. ### Is my data sent to you or a third-party analytics service? No. Logs and settings stay **on your server** in the WordPress database. This plugin does not add off-site tracking or analytics. ### What does blocking actually stop? Blocking applies to **WordPress AI Client** flows that respect the **`wp_ai_client_prevent_prompt`** filter. You choose plugins under **Grumpy AI Gate Settings** and save. It is ** not** a full firewall for every outbound request. ### Does this block all AI traffic? No. Only **AI Client** traffic for plugins you select under **Grumpy AI Gate Settings** is blocked (after you save). **HTTP** calls to provider APIs that **other plugins or themes** initiate are **observed and logged** in the current release but **not blocked**. ### Will it work if the WordPress AI Client is not available? Yes. The plugin loads safely. Without the AI Client stack, **HTTP fallback** can still record calls to **recognized provider** endpoints when that option is enabled in **Settings**, as long as **other code** on the site is making those outbound requests. ### How are AI Client requests and outbound HTTP logged? When the WordPress AI Client stack is available, a full generation is one log row from its lifecycle hooks; the matching raw provider HTTP for that same call is skipped so usage is not double-counted. Calls that do not fire those hooks (for example listing models) are still logged and may appear with capability `provider_http`. When **another plugin** talks to a known AI API without going through core AiClient, or when AI Client monitoring is off in settings, those requests are recorded via HTTP fallback instead. ### Which URLs does HTTP fallback recognize? Only built-in provider host/path rules (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI / Gemini, xAI, DeepSeek, Mistral, OpenRouter, and local Ollama). See **Grumpy AI Gate Settings** for the current hostname list. Those patterns exist **only to filter and classify** outbound traffic **initiated by other code**—they are **not** endpoints this plugin contacts for its own operation. ### Does blocking stop all AI traffic from a plugin? Blocking uses WordPress’s **`wp_ai_client_prevent_prompt`** filter: it stops prompt builder flows (support checks and generations) that go through that path. Separate calls such as **listing models** (`/v1/models`) may still run as **provider HTTP** on the AI Client channel and appear as a successful row—that traffic does not go through the same prevent hook. ### Can I clear old log data? Yes. Under **Grumpy AI Gate Settings**, use the options to clear the request log only, or clear the log and aggregated statistics, as needed. ## پێداچوونەوەکان ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/33fadaf8aef05d4f5ce5153c47ec1ecc45fa47b6bb54f6c06825ee4abfe32321? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-plugin-9909/)󠁿 [Vassos Hadjivassiliou](https://profiles.wordpress.org/more2think/) تەممووز 7, 2026 Excellent idea for the AI era. As more WordPress plugins quietly integrate AI features, Grumpy AI Gate provides valuable transparency and control over what’s happening on your site. It’s simple, practical, and gives website owners greater peace of mind when managing AI-powered tools.
