ReST API call for blocking inherited rights

Scenario is :

I have created two folders at path /ABC/DEF, those are /ABC/DEF/Folder1 and /ABC/DEF/Folder2.

I have created two users User1 and User2 with tenant ID ABC.

I want to assign permission in such a way that User1 can see only Folder1 and can manage everything at Folder1 and User2 can see only Folder2 and can manage everything at Folder2.

For the above i gave User1 read permission to folder ABC and DEF and Manage Everything Permission at Folder1, but because of Read permission at parent folder, User1 can see Folder2 also i.e. jsut view, which i dont want to happen.

Result should be like : User1 can see only Folder1 and User2 can see only Folder2 under path /ABC/DEF.

Can we block inherited rights using some REST API calls at a folder?

Blocking inheritance is translated in ACLs as principal="Everyone" permission="Everything" grant="false"

Can you please elaborate programmatically ?

Maybe could you dump ACLs of the documentts before and after the operation

In the UI, go to Document, export button, export to XML
