Which Network Security Policy action is valid?

A Network Security Policy rule can take the action DENY, which immediately drops the matching packets; this and ALLOW are the only documented valid actions.

A (RATELIMIT): Not a rule action; rate limiting is configured via Service-Policy. B (ALLOWSSL): No such action keyword exists in the Network-Security-Policy schema. C (MIRROR): Packet mirroring is configured elsewhere, not as a rule action.
