List restores 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 →List restores
Read-onlyList recent backup restore operations and their progress.
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 recent restore operations performed against the site's backups, each with an ID, started and last-updated timestamps, status, and a progress value. It can be narrowed to a single restore by ID (unknown IDs yield an empty array) or paginated with page and per_page. Use it after requesting a backup restore elsewhere to track how far along the operation is.
