Operations integration

MCP for UpdraftPlus

get-updraftplus-status on the theme dispatcher pair reads UpdraftPlus's own options and cron hooks: when the last backup ran and which components it covered, the files and database schedules and retention, and which remote storage services are configured, by service id only (s3, dropbox, googledrive and so on). It never reads the per-service options that hold access keys and tokens, and never returns backup file names, nonces or error text, which can carry server paths. It is read-only and runs at manage_options.

Can the agent start or restore an UpdraftPlus backup?
