Intent

Inverted bounds describe an empty numeric range, so no value can satisfy the schema.

Flags

A schema where a numeric maximum or exclusiveMaximum is below its numeric minimum or exclusiveMinimum. The rule also understands the boolean exclusive-bound form used by Swagger 2.0 and OpenAPI 3.0.

Does not flag

Equal inclusive bounds, ascending bounds, or a schema that does not provide both sides of the range.
