  Cause:
  The error arises when the system attempts to execute an agent rule that requires certain parameters to be defined, but those parameters are either not set or are incomplete. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Configuration: The agent rule has not been fully configured, and required parameters have not been maintained.
  Incorrect Rule Definition: The rule may have been defined incorrectly, leading to missing or invalid parameters.
  Changes in Business Logic: If there have been recent changes to the business processes or workflows, the existing rules may no longer be valid.

  Maintain Parameters:
