Get response status counts is a WordPress ability from Jetpack — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Get response status counts
Read-onlyGet a summary count of Jetpack Forms responses grouped by status: inbox (active), spam, and trash.
Requires the Jetpack plugin on WordPress 6.9+. Abilities are registered by several bundled Jetpack packages (automattic/jetpack-backup, jetpack-connection, jetpack-forms, jetpack-stats) plus the main plugin's own registrars for Related Posts, Shortlinks, Sitemaps, Newsletter/Subscriptions, and Monitor. Permission requirements vary by ability — most gate on 'manage_options', 'jetpack_admin_page', or 'view_stats', while Forms abilities use 'edit_pages'. Backup abilities only register when a Backup product/plan is active; Sitemaps, Monitor, and Newsletter abilities only register when their respective module is turned on.
What it does
This ability returns a summary of Jetpack Forms responses grouped by status, reporting counts for inbox (active), spam, and trash. Counts can be scoped with an optional search term, a specific parent page/post ID, a date range (before/after), and a read/unread filter. It is useful for surfacing dashboard-style stats or quickly checking whether new form submissions have arrived without listing every response.
