Features

The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.

  • 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)

  • Excellent Plugin

    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.
