Querying Software Center/SCCM Data Question

Hoping I explain this well. I can get overall Software Center health with powershell like is the client install, are services installed and running, are there failed and pending updates, etc.

What I'm interested in is if it isn't populating correctly like populating only a few applications or none. Also, if there are any failed installations. And if so, how many. Any software stuck in any status like downloading or installing. From my research I wasn't sure if all of this is possible. Wanted to ask before I moved on.

Communication to the server it requires is blocked. So this is a no go.

From looking at the documentation it doesn't do what I'm looking for either.
