Allowed enum values: `allow,deny` | | attributes | name [*required*] | string | The name of the execution policy. | | attributes | scope | object | Restricts where the policy applies. At most one of `kubernetes`, `scripts`, or `remote_action_rshell` can be set. An empty object means the policy has no scope restriction. | | scope | kubernetes | object | Restricts the policy to specific Kubernetes namespaces. | | kubernetes | rules [*required*] | [object] | The Kubernetes scope rules. | | rules | target_namespaces [*required*] | [string] | The Kubernetes namespaces this rule applies to. | | scope | remote_action_rshell | object | Restricts the policy to specific remote shell paths. | | remote_action_rshell | rules [*required*] | [object] | The remote shell scope rules. | | rules | access [*required*] | enum | The level of remote shell access granted for the target paths. Allowed enum values: `read_only,read_write` | | rules | target_paths [*required*] | [string] | The file system paths this rule applies to. | | scope | scripts | object | Restricts the policy to specific scripts. | | scripts | rules [*required*] | [object] | The script scope rules. | | rules | target_script_names [*required*] | [string] | The script names this rule applies to. | | attributes | targets [*required*] | [object] | The targets this policy applies to. | | targets | agent_tags [*required*] | [string] | The Agent tags identifying the target. | | targets | name | string | A human-readable name for the target. | | attributes | updated_at [*required*] | date-time | The date and time the execution policy was last updated. | | attributes | updated_by [*required*] | string | The ID of the user who last updated the execution policy. | | attributes | version [*required*] | int32 | The version of the execution policy. Incremented on every update. | | data | id [*required*] | string | The ID of the execution policy. | | data | type [*required*] | enum | The type of the resource. The value should always be `execution_policy`. Allowed enum values: `execution_policy` | | | meta [*required*] | object | Pagination metadata for the list of execution policies. | | meta | page [*required*] | object | Pagination details. | | page | total [*required*] | int32 | The total number of execution policies matching the query. | {% /tab %} {% tab title="Example" %} ```json { "data": [ { "attributes": { "action_pattern": {
