Ask “Which updates are safe to run?”. The get_update_readiness tool lists every pending plugin, theme and core update with its versions, the size of the jump, required WordPress and PHP, tested-up-to, whether it is active, and a status of ready or blocked with the reason.
Order: ready before blocked, plugins and themes before core, inactive before active, minor before major. The backup status (ok, stale after 24 hours, unknown, none) adds a warning and never blocks. Each ready update carries a fix the app can put straight into a plan.
