  • validation_definitions – List of validation definitions to be run.

  • actions – List of actions to be taken after the validation definitions are run.

  • result_format – The format in which to return the results of the validation definitions. Default is ResultFormat.SUMMARY.

  • id – An optional unique identifier for the checkpoint.
