Requires Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) 6.8.0+ on a WordPress install where the Abilities API is available (native from WordPress 6.9, or via a compatible Abilities/Feature API polyfill). ACF's global 'Allow AI Access' setting (enable_acf_ai) must be turned on, and each individual field group, custom post type, or custom taxonomy must also have its own 'Allow AI Access' toggle enabled and be exposed in the REST API (show_in_rest) before its abilities are registered. Most abilities additionally require the current user to hold ACF's configured management capability (acf_get_setting('capability'), default manage_options) or the matching WordPress post-type/taxonomy capability (create_posts, edit_posts, delete_posts, manage_terms, edit_terms, delete_terms).
