# APIs related to Schema Rules

Schema Rules define validation rule sets applied to schema documents within policies. Rules specify field-level constraints, cross-field dependencies, and data quality checks beyond basic JSON Schema validation.

**Authentication:** All endpoints require a Bearer JWT token (`Authorization: Bearer <token>`). Obtain a token via `POST /accounts/login`.
