Dry-run an automation rule

Simulate what a rule would do against a sample event: condition match and what each action would resolve to.

Executes nothing. - No email, change, quota use or run record; it takes the read scope. - For document rules pass event_aggregate_id of a real document, or no step would run. - An unevaluable condition returns 200 with condition_error.

Authorization
