Accept Plugin

accept finalizes the current response and stops execution of further rules and parent sequences. It does not modify response records — it only signals that the current response should be treated as final.

Exec quick-setup

• Quick: accept stops processing and accepts the current response (use as exec: accept).

Args

• This plugin takes no arguments. Use the quick-setup string accept when specifying in exec lists.

Behavior

• When executed, accept sets the internal return flag and immediately halts further sequence execution.
• It does not change response contents or metadata (other than the return flag).
• If there is no response present when accept runs, it still halts execution — it does not synthesize a response.

When to use

• Finalize a response produced earlier in the sequence (for example after respond, set_answers, or a successful forward).
• Short-circuit remaining rules to prevent later plugins from modifying the already-built response.
• Use in complex sequence flows to explicitly mark a response as complete and stop parent sequences from continuing.

Examples

• Basic sequence that builds a response then accepts it:

- exec: respond
- exec: accept

• Use accept to stop a rule chain once a desired condition is met (e.g., a match or successful upstream reply).
