# Guard signer

Guard signer approval helpers.

`client.guard_signer` manages approvals for protected funding account-control actions.

| Method                            | Generated request               |
| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| `get_status` / `create_wallet`    | guard wallet state/provisioning |
| `sign_protected_action`           | one approval                    |
| `batch_sign_protected_actions`    | multiple approvals              |
| `rotate_wallet` / `export_wallet` | guard key lifecycle             |

```rust
use polyester::proto::chain::guard::v1::GetGuardSignerStatusRequest;

let status = client
    .guard_signer
    .get_status(GetGuardSignerStatusRequest::default())
    .await?;
```

The action-specific generated requests determine which addresses, chain ID, or whitelist flag is required. These are authenticated control-plane mutations: do not retry blindly and never log approval payloads or exported key material.

An approval does not submit an on-chain transaction. Combine it with the matching [Chain helper](https://testnet.polyester.com/docs/sdk/rust/reference/chain) and verify the receipt/final state.
