<div class="api-provenance">Namespace Tracon · Assembly <code>Tracon.Abstractions.dll</code></div>

One comparison against a tool call argument: *path · operator · value*.

```csharp
public sealed record ToolArgumentCondition : IEquatable<ToolArgumentCondition>
```

## Remarks

A comparison only, never an expression. There is no `OR` — a rule's
conditions are combined with `AND`; two rules are written instead of one
with an `OR`. There is no array index in [ToolArgumentCondition.Path](/api/tracon.toolargumentcondition/#Tracon_ToolArgumentCondition_Path). This is a
deliberate limit ('s sibling): the language must never grow
into a rule engine.

## Constructors

### <a id="Tracon_ToolArgumentCondition__ctor"></a> ToolArgumentCondition\(\)

```csharp
public ToolArgumentCondition()
```

## Properties

### <a id="Tracon_ToolArgumentCondition_Operator"></a> Operator

Gets the comparison operator.

```csharp
public required ToolArgumentOperator Operator { get; init; }
```

#### Property Value

 [ToolArgumentOperator](/api/tracon.toolargumentoperator/)

### <a id="Tracon_ToolArgumentCondition_Path"></a> Path

Gets the dotted path into the argument object, for example `order.amount`.
No array index is accepted.

```csharp
public required string Path { get; init; }
```

#### Property Value

 [string](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.string)

### <a id="Tracon_ToolArgumentCondition_Value"></a> Value

Gets the value compared against. For [ToolArgumentOperator.In](/api/tracon.toolargumentoperator/) and
[ToolArgumentOperator.NotIn](/api/tracon.toolargumentoperator/) this is a JSON array of text or numbers;
for every other operator it is a single text, number, or boolean.

```csharp
public required JsonElement Value { get; init; }
```

#### Property Value

 [JsonElement](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.text.json.jsonelement)
