How to conditionally turn-off a rule

[avin3sh]

I have a hypothetical scenario where for some reason a particular component in my spec fails component-description rule. I have an option to just specify component-description: off in my RuleSet - however I want to make an exception for this particular schema component and have rule working for rest of the spec.

How do I go about this ? If I could specify an expression in the given override for the rule, it would made it easy but I will admit I do not fully understand how JSONPath is being used.

Is there a moral equivalent of given: $ but not $.components.schemas['BadComponent']

If the above was possible, I could easily make an exception in my RuleSet like this:

extends: [[spectral:oas, recommended]]
rules:
  component-description:
    given: $ but not $.components.schemas['BadComponent']
    then:
      function: oasComponentDescriptions # Probably this is not even needed

Sorry for the at, @daveshanley - I am happy convert this into an issue if this requires adding support in Vacuum to achieve this, otherwise any tips/recommendation you may have for this would be greatly appreciated 😄
