Rulesets

Rulesets is Waystone’s formulation for a group of rules to apply to certain requests. A ruleset consists of:

• Condition - When and to which users the ruleset applies
• Rules - 1 or more rules to trigger

Whereas a rule is a user-agnostic trigger->action to take on a request, rulesets group different rules to apply to users.

Some examples on how rulesets can be used:

• Ruleset On tier=free users:
  • Rule Downgrade o3 to o3-nano
  • Rule Block requests if usage has exceeded $10 in past month
• Ruleset For users who joined in the last month:
  • Rule Apply a special abuse output check and add their usage to a “to be reviewed” dataset
• Ruleset For orgs with region=eu:
  • Rule Route models to EU-based equivalents
  • Rule Delete usage data after 60 days
  • Rule Apply extra check on model output for harmful content before returning the response

Ruleset conditions

Currently, Waystone allows rulesets to be triggered:

• always
• on a metadata field for groups and users
  • = value - Triggers when the field has the exact value
  • != value - Triggers when the field has anything except the given value
  • is true - Does the metadata field have a truthy value (1, “some text”, true)
  • is false - Does the metadata field have a falsy value (0, "", false)
  • exists - Does the metadata field exist with any value
