1414## Description
1515
16- Blah
16+ The ` Microsoft.DSC ` metadata object captures execution details that DSC adds to
17+ command output and, when applicable, to resource results. It describes what
18+ operation ran, when it started and finished, how long it took, the security
19+ context DSC ran under, and the DSC version that produced the output. These
20+ properties are informational and help with diagnostics, auditing, and tooling.
21+
22+ Not every property is present for every operation. For example, ` executionType `
23+ is only meaningful for ` Set ` (and is ` WhatIf ` when you invoke DSC with
24+ ` --whatIf ` ), while ` operation ` is always provided. Timestamps use RFC 3339
25+ ` date-time ` format, and durations use the ISO 8601 ` duration ` format.
26+
27+ Consumers should tolerate additional, future metadata fields. Producers should
28+ preserve unknown metadata they do not interpret.
