The `set_stats` module does not make the "stats" available to the current playbook.
The workflow from tower is effectively to use `set_stats` to accumulate some data for a subsequent playbook in a workflow, then tower collects these stats, and passes them back in as extra-vars. So effectively, they are only useful to the subsequent playbooks in a workflow. I have an example callback and instructions that showcase this flow outside of tower: https://gist.github.com/sivel/eaa83e2b1c36719359e0671afa8cd039 If you want the vars available from within the current playbook, and the subsequent playbook, you will need both a `set_facts` and a `set_stats` task.
