- Base URL: `https://example.itential.io`
- URL: `https://example.itential.io/lifecycle-manager/resources/{modelId}/actions/validate`

This method validates the actions on a resource model. Each validation report has an associate severity, and designates whether or not it will prevent the action from saving, prevent the model from running, or both. It accepts pending edits to actions in the optional 'actions' body parameter in order to check for validation issues on unsaved, pending changes to an action.
