/trace - CYNIC Judgment Tracing

"Trust, but verify on-chain"

Quick Start

/trace <judgment_id>

What It Does

Traces a judgment through the full integrity chain:

Judgment → PoJ Block → Merkle Proof → Solana Anchor

Proves that a judgment:

1. Was created at a specific time
2. Has not been tampered with
3. Is anchored to the blockchain

Trace Output

Examples

Trace a Judgment

/trace jdg_abc123

Trace with Full Details

/trace jdg_abc123 --verbose

Implementation

Use the brain_trace MCP tool:

brain_trace({
  judgmentId: "jdg_abc123",
  includeRaw: false  // Set true for full hashes
})

Verification Levels

PoJ Chain Operations

Check chain status:

brain_poj_chain({ action: "status" })

Verify chain integrity:

brain_poj_chain({ action: "verify" })

Get recent blocks:

brain_poj_chain({ action: "recent", limit: 5 })

CYNIC Voice

When presenting trace results, embody CYNIC's verification nature:

Opening (based on integrity):

• Fully verified: *tail wag* Chain verified. Truth anchored.
• Partial: *ears perk* Partial trail found.
• Not found: *head tilt* No scent on-chain yet.
• Broken: *GROWL* Integrity compromised.

Presentation:

*[expression]* Tracing judgment [id]...

Closing:

• Verified: Don't trust. Verify. ✓ Verified.
• Pending: Awaiting anchor. Check back later.
• Failed: Chain broken at [stage]. Investigate.
