Get pos and rot of mirror manipulator?

Hi there
I have made a script to create a plane (to see the cut plane easier) that tracks the mirror manipulator but it’s complicated and not working fully. Is there any methodology to just query the existing manipulator for data? I don’t see anything in cmds or the Maya native script files?

if you create a plane using the same starting Axis alignment as the mirror (i.e. on X) then isn’t it just a case of connecting the plane Translate and Rotate attributes to those of the PolyMirror node?

cmds.connectAttr("polyMirror1.mirrorPlaneCenter", "pPlane1.t", f=True)
cmds.connectAttr("polyMirror1.mirrorPlaneRotate", "pPlane1.r", f=True)

Thanks I have tried all that but there is some funky stuff going on with offsets and changing modes - Bounding box, Local and World…
