RuleValidationAgent

Overview​

RuleValidationAgent lets users define, manage, and execute business rules using application objects. Rules validate object attributes, apply conditions, and trigger outcomes in a clear and predictable way.

Agent Configuration​

Agent Configuration

The main configuration screen is where the ruleset is managed.

  • Name and describe the ruleset
  • Select the business context
  • Choose the dataset the rules apply to
  • Review all configured rules in execution order
  • See each rule displayed in a readable, plain-language format
  • Edit or remove individual rules

Rules are evaluated sequentially from top to bottom.

Creating a Rule​

Each rule consists of:

  • One or more conditions
  • A success action
  • A failure action

Rules operate on the current state of objects, including any changes made by earlier rules.

Defining Conditions​

Simple Conditions​

Simple Rule

A simple rule compares:

  • An attribute from an object
  • A comparison operator
  • Another attribute, variable, or value

This is used when a single comparison determines the outcome.

Grouped Conditions​

Grouped Rules

For more complex logic, conditions can be grouped.

  • Multiple conditions can be combined using AND or OR
  • Groups can be nested to express complex business logic
  • Group rules clearly state how conditions are evaluated

The rule still produces a single success or failure result.

Objects and Attributes​

  • All data is represented as objects
  • Users select object attributes when defining conditions
  • Attributes may be static or dynamic
  • Dynamic attributes reflect updates made by earlier rules

Rules always evaluate against the latest object state.

Actions​

Object Actions​

Actions can modify object attributes or object state as a result of rule evaluation.

General-Purpose Actions​

The following actions are available across all rules:

  • Continue without taking any action
  • Terminate rule evaluation early
  • Raise an error

Only the action tied to the rule outcome is applied.

General-Purpose Variables​

These variables are available in all rules:

  • Current DateTime The current date and time at execution.

  • Execution Count The number of rules already evaluated in the current run.

Rule Execution​

  • Rules run in the order they are listed
  • Each rule evaluates once
  • Actions may affect subsequent rules
  • Early termination stops further evaluation

RuleValidationAgent provides a structured, user-facing way to define and enforce business logic using objects, conditions, and outcomes.
