Create Rule

Use this API to define a new data reliability rule that enforces a quality check on one or more assets.

When your team identifies a new data quality requirement — for example, “email addresses in customer_orders must not be null” — you use this endpoint to formalize it as a rule. Once created, you can attach it to assets, trigger executions, and monitor outcomes.

This is typically one of your first steps in operationalizing data reliability.
