Research direction

Start by reviewing the documentation, examples, and existing issues referenced in the report for how fact params are resolved. Trace the existing fact evaluation entry point to determine whether nested fact inputs are supported. Done means either documenting the supported usage and limitations or defining the implementation scope for nested fact params.

Description

I've looked across the documentation, examples and existing issues and, if this has been previously discussed, I'm missing it. Is it possible to use one or more Fact as params input to another fact?

This is a little domain specific but, for example, if I have a fact that gets a "section" related to another object (via params) and then another fact that verifies "section" access control, can I do something like this as a fact?

        {
          // Has permission to section?
          fact: 'has-permission',
          params: {
            fact: 'related-section',
            params: {
              id: 'xyz123'
            }
          },
          operator: 'equal',
          value: true
        }
