hello, while defining a policy is there any place i can define some metadata ?
For example while defining actions i want to have some metadata to describe each action

Hi. For policies, you can use the `metadata.annotations` field, which accepts any number of key-value pairs that can serve as some documentation for readers (<https://docs.cerbos.dev/cerbos/latest/policies/authoring_tips.html>). There's no such thing for individual rules in a policy. You could give a name to a rule but it should ideally be something short and not a long description.

What kind of metadata are you thinking of and how do you expect those to be used?

thanks charith, let me try the above and get back

No problem at all. Let us know how you get on.
