elementor/list-experiments lists Elementor’s experiment feature flags with their current state and their default state.
Experiments are how most significant Elementor features arrive, and they explain a lot of behaviour that otherwise makes no sense.

How it works
Containers, nested elements, grid layout, the optimised asset loading — all shipped as experiments before becoming defaults. On any given install some are on, some are off, and some are at whatever the default was when that version shipped.
The three-state reporting matters: default is not the same as active or inactive. A flag left at default follows Elementor’s choice and changes when Elementor changes it, which is how a site’s behaviour shifts after an update nobody configured.
Several abilities in this suite depend on experiments being on — nested elements for Nested Tabs, containers for the container abilities. A refusal that mentions an experiment is answered here.
Reading this on two sites that behave differently with the same content usually explains the difference in one line.

What comes back
| Name | Type | What it is |
|---|---|---|
experiments | array | Each experiment with its name, current state and default state. |
success | boolean | Whether the call completed. |
message | string | A one-line summary of what happened, suitable for showing a human. |
error_code | string | Present only on failure — a stable machine-readable reason, such as a missing field, a wrong field type or an unmet confirmation. |
Example
Ask your assistant:
Which Elementor experiments are switched on here?
It resolves to one call:
{
"ability": "elementor/list-experiments",
"parameters": {}
}Worth knowing
