Action Boundary Enforcement

An Action Boundary Enforcement is an enforcement mechanism that restricts actions to defined operational limits.

• AKA: Action Limit Enforcement, Operational Boundary Control, Action Restriction Mechanism, Scope Enforcement.
• Context:
  • It can typically limit Resource Usage within predefined thresholds.
  • It can typically restrict User Actions to authorized scopes.
  • It can typically prevent System Overload through rate limiting.
  • It can often detect Boundary Violations in real-time.
  • It can often provide Graceful Degradation when limits are reached.
  • It can often support Dynamic Adjustment of boundary parameters.
  • It can often integrate with Authorization Control Systems for permission-based limits.
  • It can range from being a Static Action Boundary Enforcement to being a Dynamic Action Boundary Enforcement, depending on its flexibility level.
  • It can range from being a Soft Action Boundary Enforcement to being a Hard Action Boundary Enforcement, depending on its enforcement strictness.
  • It can range from being a Single-Level Action Boundary Enforcement to being a Multi-Level Action Boundary Enforcement, depending on its hierarchy depth.
  • It can range from being a Local Action Boundary Enforcement to being a Global Action Boundary Enforcement, depending on its scope coverage.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • System Action Boundary Enforcements, such as:
    • Operating System Action Boundary Enforcement for process isolation.
    • Container Action Boundary Enforcement for resource limitation.
  • User Action Boundary Enforcements, such as:
    • Role-Based Action Boundary Enforcement for permission scope.
    • Session-Based Action Boundary Enforcement for temporal limitation.
  • Application Action Boundary Enforcements, such as:
    • API Action Boundary Enforcement for rate limiting.
    • Database Action Boundary Enforcement for query restriction.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Unlimited Scope, which lacks boundary enforcement.
  • Passive Monitoring, which observes without enforcement.
  • Open Access, which permits unrestricted actions.
