Treeship
CLI reference

history

An agent's work history — its transparency log filtered to signed session.v1 records, every envelope re-verified on your machine.

treeship history lists an agent's signed session.v1 work records — what it worked on, the outcome, the evidence class, and whether each record is anchored. History proves what was recorded, never everything that happened.

Usage

treeship history <agent> [--hub <url>] [--class <class>] [--since <ts>] [--limit <n>]
OptionDescription
--hub <URL>Pull from a Hub instead of the local store
--class <CLASS>Filter to self | runtime | countersigned
--since <TIMESTAMP>Only records closed at/after this RFC 3339 timestamp
--limit <N>Max records, newest first (default 50)
--format jsonMachine-readable output

A bare name is normalized to agent://<name>.

What each row shows

Artifact ID, headline, outcome, attestation class, close time, action count, tools-exercised count, signature (verified/unverified against your trust roots), and the anchor state (anchored ✓ / anchored ✗ INVALID / blank).

Two honesty rules:

  • Remote records are graded, not trusted. Each hub-served envelope is signature-verified locally, and each hub-claimed Merkle anchor is re-proved offline. Typed fields are read from the verified envelope only.
  • Class is capped to evidence. A record can't claim countersigned without the countersignature actually present — records with no supportable class display ?.
