Evaluation Callout

An Evaluation Callout is executed as part of risk evaluation. If an Evaluation Callout is implemented, then:

1. RiskMinder executes all Standalone and Combination rules and invokes the Callout framework.
2. The RiskMinder Callout framework formats the data in XML format.
3. The RiskMinder Callout framework performs an HTTP or HTTPS POST of the following information to your Evaluation Callout:
   • Context information (such as User name, IP address, and Device ID) that is passed to each RiskMinder Evaluation rule.
   • Rule results for each Evaluation rule that was executed.
   • Additional Inputs, if any, that are provided by the RiskMinder SDK to RiskMinder Server as input data.
4. Your Callout uses the data passed by RiskMinder to process its custom logic.
5. Your Callout then returns the following information to RiskMinder:
   • Rule result in the form of Y (SUCCESS) or N (FAILURE).
   • Modifier string with additional information, if any, to be used by the Scoring Callout (if implemented.)

   Note: RiskMinder Server does not process the modifier string at all. If a Scoring Callout also has been implemented, then RiskMinder Server POSTs this data to the Scoring Callout.

   • Annotation string that contains the reason or the description sent back to RiskMinder Server.

   Note: This information is used for logging (in the database), reporting, and auditing purposes.

6. RiskMinder Server logs the information returned by your Callout.
