1. An endpoint node of a multiple node environment, the endpoint node comprising:
a storage memory configured to store a security policy for a declarative request received at the endpoint node; and
a hardware processor to communicate with the storage memory, the hardware processor to:
receive the declarative request, wherein the declarative request includes a certificate and a task to be performed in the endpoint node;
determine the security policy for the declarative request, wherein the security policy is located within a field of the declarative request, wherein the field includes one of a plurality of values, and a different one of the values corresponds to a different one of a plurality of security policies;
based on the security policy, re-check the certificate to determine whether the certificate is still valid; and
in response to the certificate being invalid, execute an action associated with the task being performed in the endpoint.
