NexoQueryGuard
:::danger Installed but not an effective production contract
The installed CRD schema exposes no policy fields, so the object cannot express the runtime query-guard contract.
:::
This page documents the current development contract. Schema acceptance, Operator reconciliation, and runtime enforcement are separate claims; the status above is authoritative.

Purpose and relationships
Declares query and command policy.
It has runtime effect only when a NexoPipeline referenced by a NexoProxy includes this object in a compatible phase and the selected Operator/runtime bundle supports the contract.
Spec field reference
The table is derived from the installed Nexo Edge CRD OpenAPI schema. “Not declared” means the schema publishes no default. A missing schema description is reported explicitly rather than inferred from implementation.
The CRD schema declares an object but no configurable fields.
Status fields and conditions
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Schema description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
status.ready | boolean | No | Not declared | No description is declared in the CRD schema. |
status.configHash | string | No | Not declared | No description is declared in the CRD schema. |
status.observedGeneration | integer (int64) | No | Not declared | No description is declared in the CRD schema. |
status.conditions | array<object> | No | Not declared | No description is declared in the CRD schema. |
status.conditions[].type | string | No | Not declared | No description is declared in the CRD schema. |
status.conditions[].status | string | No | Not declared | No description is declared in the CRD schema. |
status.conditions[].reason | string | No | Not declared | No description is declared in the CRD schema. |
status.conditions[].message | string | No | Not declared | No description is declared in the CRD schema. |
status.conditions[].lastTransitionTime | string (date-time) | No | Not declared | No description is declared in the CRD schema. |
status.conditions[].observedGeneration | integer (int64) | No | Not declared | No description is declared in the CRD schema. |
A Ready or configHash value proves that the Operator accepted/hashed the object; it does not by itself prove runtime execution or policy enforcement.
Reconciliation and watch behavior
The registered controller validates the resource and records status. Data-path changes are applied only when the relevant NexoProxy controller rebuilds or reloads the owning graph.
At startup, the current NexoProxy controller installs a typed watch when the CRD is discoverable. A CRD installed after Operator startup requires an Operator restart before that reference watch is added.
Runtime execution effect
The installed CRD schema exposes no policy fields, so the object cannot express the runtime query-guard contract.
Example
Use placeholders and validate in a non-production namespace first. For schema-only or ineffective kinds, this example is for schema inspection only and must not be used as evidence of enforcement.

Update and reconciliation caveats
- Apply component and pipeline changes before expecting the owning NexoProxy graph to change.
- Check metadata.generation, status.observedGeneration when present, and the owning Proxy graphRevision/appliedRevision after every update.
- A successful kubectl apply proves only schema admission; inspect Operator conditions, generated configuration, rollout state, and runtime behavior separately.
Release-specific limitations
- The API is v1alpha1 and has no conversion webhook or second served version.
- The CRD schema is retained by Helm and can outlive the Operator release that installed it.
- Current documentation can describe unreleased development behavior; verify the exact deployed bundle and image digests.
- The schema exposes no spec fields, so an accepted empty object does not configure useful policy.
Inspect with kubectl
kubectl get nexoqueryguards --namespace <namespace>
kubectl describe nexoqueryguards <name> --namespace <namespace>
kubectl get nexoqueryguards <name> --namespace <namespace> -o yaml
kubectl get crd nexoqueryguards.nexo.io -o yaml
For resources participating in a Proxy graph, also inspect:
kubectl get nexoproxy <proxy-name> --namespace <namespace> \
-o jsonpath='{.status.phase}{" graph="}{.status.graphRevision}{" applied="}{.status.appliedRevision}{"\n"}'
kubectl get nexopipeline <pipeline-name> --namespace <namespace> -o yaml
