After much searching in the code I didn't find anything that would return the required value. I created a simple one-liner in web_services.py to achieve the wanted behavior.

Here is what was done:

-Added 'get_workers' to the if in the dispatch method from the common class.

-Added the exp_get_workers defined as such:

def exp_get_workers(self):
        return tools.config.get('workers', 1)

Counting records is not as easy as it seems to be. You cancreate easliy report for it. If you want XML-RCP you need to create it by hand.
