    stats = i.stats()
    registered_tasks = i.registered()
    active_tasks = i.active()
    scheduled_tasks = i.scheduled()
    result = {
        'availability': availability,
        'stats': stats,
        'registered_tasks': registered_tasks,
        'active_tasks': active_tasks,
        'scheduled_tasks': scheduled_tasks
    }
    return result

of course you could/should improve the code with error handling...
