Use this simulation to queue attribute behaviors that run the next time you execute the Attributes product for an entity.

<Warning>
  Simulation endpoints are only available in the development environment. Teams with live treasury access cannot use them.
</Warning>

## Path Parameters

<ParamList
  items={[
{
name: 'entity_id',
type: 'string',
required: true,
description: 'ID of the entity whose attributes you want to simulate.',
}
]}
/>

## Body

<ParamList
  items={[
{
name: 'behaviors',
type: 'enum[]',
required: true,
description: 'List of behaviors to queue. Each behavior is consumed the next time the Attributes product runs for this entity.',
enums: [
  {
    name: 'new_soft_inquiry',
    description: 'Increments the soft inquiry value and prepends a simulated inquiry to the history.',
  },
],
}
]}
/>
