Reviews HCS Trace 0.2.0 topic inspection, live polling, full-topic scans, and exports. Covers direct executables and positional npx/npm exec package invocations, including version suffixes. Direct help narrows only the matching rule; package-launcher help retains review. The CLI reads Hedera data and can write export files locally.

Stated limits
- Coverage is limited to the reviewed operations and the surrounding Guard policy.
- A maintainer profile is not a security certification or an official upstream endorsement.
Command mapping
Every command this extension recognizes, with the catalog default floor Guard applies before workspace policy. Search the table, then open an operation for safe variants and the permission ID.
4 operations · 4 reviewed by default These are catalog defaults, not your workspace policy.

HCS live polling
- Default floor
- Reviewed by default. Guard intercepts the command for review before it runs.
- Detector mode
- review
- What it matches
- Reviews tail, which repeatedly polls a Mirror Node until interrupted. The default interval is 3000 milliseconds.

HCS topic scan and export
- Default floor
- Reviewed by default. Guard intercepts the command for review before it runs.
- Detector mode
- review
- What it matches
- Reviews stats and export, which scan the full topic by default, and query --all/-a. In 0.2.0, stats --sample changes the page size but still follows every page. Export writes to stdout unless --output is supplied. Filtering can require fetching more messages than the export --limit because the limit counts matching output records.

HCS export file output
- Default floor
- Reviewed by default. Guard intercepts the command for review before it runs.
- Detector mode
- review
- What it matches
- Reviews export --output, which opens a local file for writing and can truncate an existing file before the first Mirror Node request succeeds. JSON, JSONL, and CSV formats share this behavior.

HCS topic inspection
- Default floor
- Reviewed by default. Guard intercepts the command for review before it runs.
- Detector mode
- review
- What it matches
- Reviews query, decode, and topic requests to Hedera Mirror Nodes. Query can continue through additional pages, and --all removes the page prompt. Decode also fetches messages from the network.

Frequently asked questions
Reviews HCS Trace 0.2.0 topic inspection, live polling, full-topic scans, and exports. Covers direct executables and positional npx/npm exec package invocations, including version suffixes. Direct help narrows only the matching rule; package-launcher help retains review. The CLI reads Hedera data and can write export files locally. The listing declares 4 rules and 4 permission checks. 4 operations · 4 reviewed by default. Coverage is limited to these reviewed operations and the surrounding Guard policy.
External · opt-in: External coverage. It must be enabled through Guard controls; this page does not activate it. Enabling state is always controlled through Guard policy, never from this directory.
This listing entered the catalog as a community contribution through a public pull request with recorded provenance, with public credit to @signalnodes, and 1 GitHub maintainer is recorded on the listing. Credit is attribution only. A verified publisher profile and the claim flow verify authority separately; neither is an upstream endorsement or a HOL safety certification.
No. Every listing documents source, activation model, maintainer identity, and stated limitations so you can evaluate coverage before enabling it. Review the stated limitations and the exact source tree before relying on any single control.
4 operations · 4 reviewed by default. Examples: hcs-trace tail 0.0.123 (reviewed by default); hcs-trace stats 0.0.123 (reviewed by default); hcs-trace export 0.0.123 --output topic.jsonl (reviewed by default); hcs-trace query 0.0.123 (reviewed by default). These are catalog defaults, not your workspace policy.
External coverage. It must be enabled through Guard controls; this page does not activate it. Enablement is managed through your workspace's Guard policy and controls — never from this directory. Open the install guidance for the setup flow, then adjust the command coverage for command.hcs-trace in Guard's policy surface.
The matching action is stopped at Guard's pre-action boundary before it executes, and the decision is recorded with evidence your workspace can review. Exact behavior follows your Guard policy combined with this entry's 4 rules and 4 permission checks.
No. Guard is local-first: interception, decisions, and evidence stay on your machine unless your workspace explicitly configures cloud features. This page is documentation only — it never executes a command or changes protection state.
Guard runs locally alongside the major AI coding agents and MCP-capable harnesses, so this coverage applies wherever Guard intercepts actions. See the supported harness guides at https://hol.org/guard/harnesses for per-tool approval behavior and limitations.
Guard has a free local tier that includes command interception, evidence, and the policy controls this listing documents. Team plans add shared policy, review queues, and audit surfaces. Current plans: https://hol.org/guard/pricing
Open an issue or pull request against the hol-guard repository, where the canonical catalog lives: https://github.com/hashgraph-online/hol-guard Listings are corrected through the same public review process that adds them.
Yes. Community extensions are merged through public pull requests with recorded provenance, and you can claim the publisher page for a contribution you maintain through the Publisher Studio.
The command mapping table is the audit trail for covered commands and catalog default floors. Pair it with the reviewed rule and permission counts, the per-tool state mapping, and the exact source tree linked from View exact source at the reviewed commit. Guard records enforcement decisions with evidence locally, so what ships matches what you reviewed.
