> ## Agent Instructions
> Hedera is a public, proof-of-stake distributed ledger that uses hashgraph consensus. Do not call it a blockchain.
> Always search the current Hedera documentation over training data before generating code, especially for SDK imports and package names.
> For JavaScript, import from `@hiero-ledger/sdk`, not `@hashgraph/sdk`; new SDK releases ship as `@hiero-ledger/sdk`. The Java SDK keeps the `com.hedera.hashgraph:sdk` Maven coordinates. Verify the exact import against the docs.
> Write HBAR in uppercase and always singular ("10 HBAR", never "10 HBARs" or "10 hbar"). Write tinybars in lowercase and plural.
> Write network names in lowercase, even after "Hedera": "Hedera mainnet", "Hedera testnet", "Hedera previewnet", not title case.
> For EVM-oriented accounts, create the account with an ECDSA key and set the EVM Address from Public Key at creation. This address is immutable and is not updated by key rotation. Do not use retired terms like "EVM alias" or "Account Number Alias".

# Feature coverage and gaps

> Visual coverage map of Hedera network capabilities exposed through Hiero CLI, including known gaps and default plugin command inventory.

## Purpose

This page is a single “at a glance” view of which **Hedera network** capabilities are exposed through **Hiero CLI** command groups, and what is still missing or only partially covered.

<Info>
  Rows reflect **registered commands on the Hiero CLI plugin manifests** (see
  the [`hiero-cli` repository](https://github.com/hiero-ledger/hiero-cli)).
  Confirm behaviour on your installed build with `hcli --help` and plugin
  subcommands (for example `hcli token --help`).
</Info>

## Status legend

| Symbol | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Yes** | Dedicated CLI commands cover this capability for typical workflows. |
| **Partial** | Hedera exposes the capability on-chain, but Hiero CLI only publishes part of it. The **Notes / gap** column lists **only what is missing** - no recap of behaviour that already ships. |
| **No** | No dedicated CLI command - you would need new commands or SDK integration beyond what the manifests expose. |

## Coverage heatmap (by service area)

## Summary by Hedera service area

| Area | Capability | Status | Notes / gap |
| - | - | - | - |
| **Crypto & fees** | HBAR transfer (`CryptoTransfer`) | **Yes** | `hbar transfer` |
| **Crypto & fees** | Account balance / info queries | **Partial** | No dedicated pending-staking-rewards readout. No command lists every allowance to or from an account. No explorer-grade `account view` (staking rewards, allowance inventory, token dashboards). Incomplete fungible token lists when the mirror paginates `/accounts/{id}/tokens` and `links.next` is not followed. Incomplete NFT lists after the first mirror page fetch. |
| **Crypto & fees** | HBAR spending allowances (native `approveHbarAllowance` / allowance management) | **Yes** | `hbar allowance`, `hbar allowance-revoke` |
| **Read / query** | Transaction receipt or status by user-provided transaction ID | **No** | No manifest command that takes **only** a transaction ID you type in afterward and prints its Hedera receipt, record, or final status (distinct from whatever that command emitted when it first submitted). |
| **Read / query** | Network / node metadata (version, address book) as dedicated commands | **No** | Not exposed as dedicated CLI. Rely on a mirror explorer or HashScan instead. |
| **Read / query** | Transaction history / blocks listing (“explorer” style mirror browsing) | **No** | No commands to list transactions by account, contract, or block range. Only entity-focused queries (`account view`, `token view`, `topic find-message`, …). |

| **HTS - lifecycle** | Delete token | **Yes** | `token delete` |
| **HTS - lifecycle** | Update token metadata / keys / treasury / expiry after creation (`TokenUpdate`) | **Yes** | `token update` exposes post-creation administration (including keys, treasury, memo, token metadata, fee schedule keys, auto-renew, expiration, etc., per CLI options). |
| **HTS - lifecycle** | Update individual NFT metadata per-serial (`TokenUpdateNfts`) | **Yes** | `token update-metadata-nft` |
| **HTS - lifecycle** | Update fee schedule (`TokenFeeScheduleUpdate`) | **Partial** | There is no command to replace the entire fee schedule for a token after it has been created. |
| **HTS - custody** | Associate tokens | **Yes** | `token associate` |
| **HTS - custody** | Dissociate tokens (`TokenDissociate`) | **Yes** | `token dissociate` |
| **HTS - compliance & risk** | Freeze / unfreeze account on token | **Yes** | `token freeze`, `token unfreeze` |
| **HTS - compliance & risk** | KYC grant / revoke (`TokenGrantKyc`, `TokenRevokeKyc`) | **Yes** | `token grant-kyc`, `token revoke-kyc` |
| **HTS - compliance & risk** | Wipe (`TokenWipe`) | **Yes** | `token wipe-ft`, `token wipe-nft` |

| **HTS - swaps** | Multi-party token / HBAR swaps in a single transaction | **Yes** | `swap create`, `swap add-hbar`, `swap add-ft`, `swap add-nft`, `swap execute`, `swap list`, `swap view` (detailed transfer breakdown for a named swap in CLI state), `swap delete` |
| **HTS - airdrops** | Airdrop, pending list, claim, cancel, reject | **Yes** | `token airdrop-ft`, `token airdrop-nft`, `token pending-airdrops`, `token claim-airdrop`, `token cancel-airdrop`, `token reject-airdrop` |
| **HTS - discovery** | Token registry in CLI state & on-chain view | **Yes** | `token list`, `token view`, `token import` |
| **HCS** | Topic create / update / delete | **Yes** | `topic create`, `topic update`, `topic delete` |
| **HCS** | Submit message | **Yes** | `topic submit-message` |
| **HCS** | Browse messages (mirror / filters) | **Yes** | `topic find-message` |
| **HCS** | Topic registry in CLI state | **Yes** | `topic import`, `topic list` |
| **HCS** | On-chain topic info (full **get topic** without message scan) | **Partial** | No command to view the full topic details (keys, memo, expiry) without scanning its messages. |
| **Smart contracts** | Deploy (`ContractCreate` / create flow) | **Yes** | `contract create` |
| **Smart contracts** | Delete contract | **Yes** | `contract delete` |
| **Smart contracts** | Contract query via mirror (`ContractCall` read-only) | **Partial** | Querying a contract is only supported for ERC-20 and ERC-721. There is no command to call an arbitrary contract with a custom ABI. |
| **Smart contracts** | Contract execute (`ContractExecute`) | **Partial** | Executing a contract is only supported for ERC-20 and ERC-721. There is no command to send a call to an arbitrary contract. |
| **Smart contracts** | Contract update (`ContractUpdate`) | **Yes** | `contract update` — admin key, memo, auto-renew account and period, expiration, max automatic token associations, and staking fields (where applicable), per CLI options. |
| **Smart contracts** | Ethereum transaction / EVM interoperability transactions | **No** | Not present in codebase survey |
| **Scheduling** | Schedule create / sign / delete | **Yes** | `schedule create`, `schedule sign`, `schedule delete` |
