Comment:

 Is this functionality in WordPress itself, or as a WordPress.org API for
 the plugin repository? W.org
 [https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.1/?action=query_plugins&tag=woocommerce
 already has this API].

 I'm not sure I see the benefits to it for local usage, but this data does
 already exist in the readme.txt files if you want to pull it out. Can you
 describe the use case for this a little further?

 I'm also not sure how this would change any performance characteristics.
 Right now, all plugins are loaded, which allows plugins to control what
 they want to do. If you know in your plugin that you don't need to load on
 a REST API request, you can already skip loading anything. However, due to
 the interconnectedness of WordPress, it's unlikely your plugin won't need
 to do anything. Conditionally loading plugins is generally a bad idea, and
 IMO it's the plugin's responsibility to handle this.
