Comment:

 Try this: `plugins_api( 'plugin_information', array( 'slug' => 'jetpack',
 'fields' => array( 'short_description' => true ) ) );`

 Allowed fields and their global defaults:
 {{{
 'short_description' => true,
 'description' => false,
 'sections' => true,
 'tested' => true,
 'requires' => true,
 'rating' => true,
 'downloaded' => true,
 'downloadlink' => true,
 'last_updated' => true,
 'added' => true,
 'tags' => true,
 'compatibility' => true,
 'homepage' => true,
 'versions' => false,
 }}}

 For query_plugins, these defaults take precedence:
 {{{
 'description' => true,
 'sections' => false,
 'downloaded' => false,
 'downloadlink' => false,
 'last_updated' => false,
 'added' => false,
 'tags' => false,
 }}}

 For plugin_information, additionally, `'short_description' => false`.

 To turn on/off any field that is/is not included by default, simply pass
 `'fields' => array( 'some_field' => true/false ) )`.
