Hi Ben this is currently in the works <https docs prefect io core PINs PIN 16 Results and Targets html>

Our team is working on the Result interface now

Ben Fogelson · Answer

Thanks < Dylan> Looking at the PIN it looks like output validation will be supported Will there be something similar for input validation

Dylan · Answer

< Ben Fogelson> I m not 100 sure so I m checking in with the team members working on the interface Will report back ASAP

Dylan · Answer

Hey < Ben Fogelson> using this interface you ll be able to validate the inputs of your tasks as long as those inputs were produced by Prefect tasks

Ben Fogelson · Answer

Awesome thanks for looking into it < Dylan> Do you have a sense of the release timeline for the interface

Dylan · Answer

Note all inputs to prefect tasks must be provided as the output from another task even if they re Parameters or Secrets consequently input validation and output validation should provide equivalent functionality

Dylan · Answer

It s in active development so keep an eye on the next few releases
