It takes no parameters: should_ai_take_preemptive_countermeasures_trigger = yes (or no). The game's script calls it in 2 places, among them ai_will_do_arbitrary_arrests_value (script value) and ai_will_do_bounties_for_whispers_value (script value). Patch 1.20.1.2, from game/common/scripted_triggers/00_scheme_triggers.txt.

The comment above it in the file

Used in scripted modifiers to determine if the AI should be deploying countermeasures that reduce secrecy or generally affect success chance.

What it checks

NOT = { has_scheme_countermeasure_parameter = has_any_countermeasure_active }
Any targeting scheme:
- Has “apply countermeasures” (a variable the game's script sets)
- is_scheme_exposed = no
- Has “secrecy grace period” (a variable the game's script sets)
- Secrecy grace period at most 0

• the game's own tooltip text · ◦ our reading of the script line · code the script where neither exists

“They” is whatever it runs on (the scope it is called in). The scripted triggers and effects it calls link to their own pages; $PARAMETERS$ stay as written: each call fills them in.

The script as written (13 lines of game script)

should_ai_take_preemptive_countermeasures_trigger = {
	# Don't do this if we've already deployed countermeasures.
	NOT = { has_scheme_countermeasure_parameter = has_any_countermeasure_active }
	any_targeting_scheme = {
		# Make sure we'd need to do this at all.
		has_variable = apply_countermeasures
		# And we don't want to face schemes that're already at a later stage.
		is_scheme_exposed = no
		# Buuuut also give them their grace period to get started.
		has_variable = secrecy_grace_period
		var:secrecy_grace_period <= 0
	}
