If you simply want to know what Jobs and Volumes will reach their expiration date/time, that is something that you can do (and I think someone has done it) with the query.sql file. Predicting purge/prune/recycling is indeterminate (AFAIK) except at the moment in time.
Consequently, sorry, but this Feature Request is rejected unless you provide a detailed algorithm to predict future actions so that it can be implemented.
