# Work Summary: Rule Management API Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
**Date:** January 12, 2026
|
||||
**Phase:** Phase 2.6 - API Service
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ Complete
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Implemented the Rule Management API endpoints for the Attune automation platform. Rules are the core automation logic that connects triggers to actions, enabling powerful event-driven workflows. When a trigger fires an event that matches a rule's conditions, the associated action is executed.
|
||||
|
||||
## What Was Accomplished
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Rule DTOs Created
|
||||
**File:** `crates/api/src/dto/rule.rs`
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ `CreateRuleRequest` - Request DTO for creating new rules
|
||||
- Validation for ref, pack_ref, label, description
|
||||
- Action and trigger reference validation
|
||||
- Optional conditions (JSON Logic format)
|
||||
- Enabled flag (defaults to true)
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ `UpdateRuleRequest` - Request DTO for updating rules
|
||||
- All fields optional
|
||||
- Validation rules for provided fields
|
||||
- Cannot change pack/action/trigger associations
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ `RuleResponse` - Full rule details response
|
||||
- Complete rule information with all relationships
|
||||
- Includes IDs and refs for pack, action, trigger
|
||||
- Conditions and enabled status
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ `RuleSummary` - Simplified response for list endpoints
|
||||
- Lightweight version without full relationship details
|
||||
- Optimized for list views
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ Model conversions - From domain models to DTOs
|
||||
- ✅ Unit tests for validation logic
|
||||
- ✅ Default values (enabled=true, conditions={})
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Rule API Routes Implemented
|
||||
**File:** `crates/api/src/routes/rules.rs`
|
||||
|
||||
Implemented comprehensive CRUD and query endpoints:
|
||||
|
||||
**Core CRUD:**
|
||||
- ✅ `GET /api/v1/rules` - List all rules with pagination
|
||||
- ✅ `POST /api/v1/rules` - Create new rule
|
||||
- ✅ `GET /api/v1/rules/:ref` - Get rule by reference
|
||||
- ✅ `GET /api/v1/rules/id/:id` - Get rule by ID
|
||||
- ✅ `PUT /api/v1/rules/:ref` - Update existing rule
|
||||
- ✅ `DELETE /api/v1/rules/:ref` - Delete rule
|
||||
|
||||
**Query Endpoints:**
|
||||
- ✅ `GET /api/v1/rules/enabled` - List only enabled rules
|
||||
- ✅ `GET /api/v1/packs/:pack_ref/rules` - List rules by pack
|
||||
- ✅ `GET /api/v1/actions/:action_ref/rules` - List rules by action
|
||||
- ✅ `GET /api/v1/triggers/:trigger_ref/rules` - List rules by trigger
|
||||
|
||||
**Control Endpoints:**
|
||||
- ✅ `POST /api/v1/rules/:ref/enable` - Enable a rule
|
||||
- ✅ `POST /api/v1/rules/:ref/disable` - Disable a rule
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
**Validation & Error Handling:**
|
||||
- Request validation using `validator` crate
|
||||
- Unique reference constraint checking
|
||||
- Pack, action, and trigger existence verification
|
||||
- Proper error responses (400, 404, 409)
|
||||
- Meaningful error messages
|
||||
|
||||
**Relationship Management:**
|
||||
- Validates all referenced entities exist before creation
|
||||
- Pack must exist
|
||||
- Action must exist
|
||||
- Trigger must exist
|
||||
- Retrieves IDs automatically from references
|
||||
|
||||
**Pagination:**
|
||||
- Client-side pagination for all list endpoints
|
||||
- Consistent pagination parameters (page, per_page)
|
||||
- Total count and metadata in responses
|
||||
|
||||
**Rule Control:**
|
||||
- Enable/disable rules without deletion
|
||||
- Query enabled rules separately
|
||||
- Preserves rule configuration when disabled
|
||||
|
||||
**Condition Support:**
|
||||
- JSON Logic format for complex conditions
|
||||
- Empty conditions `{}` means always match
|
||||
- Flexible condition structure
|
||||
- Supports nested logic (AND, OR, NOT)
|
||||
|
||||
**Integration:**
|
||||
- Integrated with RuleRepository for database operations
|
||||
- Integrated with PackRepository for pack validation
|
||||
- Integrated with ActionRepository for action validation
|
||||
- Integrated with TriggerRepository for trigger validation
|
||||
- Proper use of database transactions
|
||||
|
||||
**Code Quality:**
|
||||
- Follows existing API patterns from Pack and Action endpoints
|
||||
- Comprehensive error messages
|
||||
- Type-safe operations
|
||||
- Unit test structure in place
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Documentation

|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Build Verification
|
||||
- ✅ Full cargo build successful
|
||||
- ✅ No compilation errors
|
||||
- ✅ Only unused import warnings (expected for in-progress features)
|
||||
- ✅ All tests pass
|
||||
|
||||
## Technical Details
|
||||
|
||||
### Repository Integration
|
||||
The API leverages the existing `RuleRepository` implementation:
|
||||
- `find_by_id()` - Lookup by numeric ID
|
||||
- `find_by_ref()` - Lookup by reference string
|
||||
- `find_by_pack()` - Find all rules in a pack
|
||||
- `find_by_action()` - Find rules that execute an action
|
||||
- `find_by_trigger()` - Find rules activated by a trigger
|
||||
- `find_enabled()` - Find only enabled rules
|
||||
- `list()` - Get all rules
|
||||
- `create()` - Create new rule
|
||||
- `update()` - Update existing rule
|
||||
- `delete()` - Delete rule
|
||||
|
||||
### Validation Logic
|
||||
- **Ref format:** Alphanumeric, dots, underscores, hyphens only
|
||||
- **Length limits:** Enforced via validator annotations
|
||||
- **Required fields:** ref, pack_ref, label, description, action_ref, trigger_ref
|
||||
- **Entity existence:** Pack, action, and trigger verified before creation
|
||||
- **Uniqueness:** Rule ref must be unique across the system
|
||||
|
||||
### URL Structure
|
||||
```
|
||||
/api/v1/rules # List all rules
|
||||
/api/v1/rules/enabled # List enabled rules
|
||||
/api/v1/rules/:ref # Get/Update/Delete by ref
|
||||
/api/v1/rules/:ref/enable # Enable rule
|
||||
/api/v1/rules/:ref/disable # Disable rule
|
||||
/api/v1/rules/id/:id # Get by numeric ID
|
||||
/api/v1/packs/:pack_ref/rules # List rules in pack
|
||||
/api/v1/actions/:action_ref/rules # List rules for action
|
||||
/api/v1/triggers/:trigger_ref/rules # List rules for trigger
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Rule Conditions
|
||||
Rules use JSON Logic format for flexible condition evaluation:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"and": [
|
||||
{"var": "event.severity", ">=": 3},
|
||||
{"var": "event.status", "==": "error"}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Conditions are evaluated against event payloads when triggers fire.
|
||||
|
||||
## API Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Create Rule with Conditions
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/v1/rules \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{
|
||||
"ref": "mypack.notify_on_error",
|
||||
"pack_ref": "mypack",
|
||||
"label": "Notify on Error",
|
||||
"description": "Send notification when error detected",
|
||||
"action_ref": "slack.send_message",

|
||||
"and": [
|
||||
{"var": "event.severity", ">=": 3},
|
||||
{"var": "event.status", "==": "error"}
|
||||
]
|
||||
},
|
||||
"enabled": true
|
||||
}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{
|
||||
"conditions": {
|
||||
"var": "event.severity",
|
||||
">=": 4
|
||||
}
|
||||
}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||

|
||||
2. `crates/api/src/routes/rules.rs` - Rule routes (380 lines)
|
||||
3. `docs/api-rules.md` - API documentation (796 lines)
|
||||
|
||||
### Modified Files

|
||||
4. `work-summary/TODO.md` - Marked Phase 2.6 as complete
|
||||
|
||||
## Rule Evaluation Flow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Event → Trigger → Find Rules → Evaluate Conditions → Execute Action
|
||||
↓ ↓ ↓
|
||||
(by trigger) (match?) (enforcement)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. Event occurs and trigger fires
|
||||
2. System finds all enabled rules for that trigger
|
||||
3. Each rule's conditions are evaluated against event data
|
||||
4. If conditions match, associated action is queued for execution
|
||||
5. Execution is recorded as enforcement
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps
|
||||
|
||||
With Rule Management API complete, the recommended next priorities are:
|
||||
|
||||
### Immediate (Phase 2 - API Service)
|
||||
1. **Execution Management API (Phase 2.7)** - HIGH PRIORITY
|
||||
- Query execution history
|
||||
- Monitor execution status
|
||||
- Track action executions
|
||||
- Essential for observability
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Trigger & Sensor Management API (Phase 2.5)** - HIGH PRIORITY
|
||||
- Create and manage triggers
|
||||
- Sensor configuration
|
||||
- Event sources
|
||||
- Completes the trigger-rule-action chain
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Inquiry Management API (Phase 2.8)** - MEDIUM
|
||||
- Human-in-the-loop workflows
|
||||
- Approval workflows
|
||||
- Interactive executions
|
||||
|
||||
### After Phase 2 Complete
|
||||
4. **Message Queue Infrastructure (Phase 3)** - HIGH PRIORITY
|
||||
- RabbitMQ or Redis Pub/Sub setup
|
||||
- Event and execution queues
|
||||
- Service communication backbone
|
||||
- Required for executor and worker services
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Executor Service (Phase 4)** - HIGH PRIORITY
|
||||
- Rule evaluation engine
|
||||
- Action execution orchestration
|
||||
- The automation "brain"
|
||||
- Processes events and enforces rules
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Unit tests for DTO validation are in place
|
||||
- Route structure test passes
|
||||
- Integration testing should be added when test database is available
|
||||
- Manual testing recommended with:
|
||||
- Valid rule creation with all dependencies
|
||||
- Duplicate ref handling
|
||||
- Invalid pack/action/trigger references
|
||||
- Update operations
|
||||
- Enable/disable operations
|
||||
- Delete operations
|
||||
- Pagination behavior
|
||||
- Condition evaluation (when executor is built)
|
||||
|
||||
## Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
The Rule API depends on:
|
||||
- ✅ Pack API (for pack validation)
|
||||
- ✅ Action API (for action validation)
|
||||
- ⏳ Trigger API (for trigger validation - repository exists, API pending)
|
||||
- ✅ RuleRepository (database operations)
|
||||
- ✅ PackRepository (pack verification)
|
||||
- ✅ ActionRepository (action verification)
|
||||
- ✅ TriggerRepository (trigger verification)
|
||||
|
||||
## Observations & Notes
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Trigger API Pending:** While TriggerRepository exists and is integrated, the Trigger Management API endpoints haven't been implemented yet. This should be a priority to complete the trigger-rule-action chain.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Condition Evaluation:** Rule conditions are stored but not validated or executed yet. The executor service (Phase 4) will handle actual condition evaluation against event payloads.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Pagination Implementation:** Currently using in-memory pagination for simplicity. For large datasets, should implement database-level pagination with `LIMIT`/`OFFSET` in repository.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **JSON Logic Validation:** Conditions are stored as JSON but not validated against JSON Logic spec. Consider adding validation to ensure conditions are well-formed.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Rule Dependencies:** Cannot change pack/action/trigger associations after creation. This is by design - create a new rule instead to maintain audit trail.
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Enable/Disable Pattern:** Provides quick on/off control without losing rule configuration. Better than delete/recreate for temporary deactivation.
|
||||
|
||||
7. **Query Flexibility:** Multiple query endpoints (by pack, action, trigger, enabled status) provide flexibility for UI and monitoring needs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Use Cases Enabled
|
||||

The implementation provides the core automation logic layer for Attune, enabling users to define sophisticated event-driven workflows. Rules connect triggers to actions with flexible condition evaluation, supporting complex automation scenarios.
|
||||
|
||||
The API is production-ready pending integration testing and completion of the Trigger Management API to enable full end-to-end rule creation and testing.
|
||||
|
||||
