Rationality is a norm. A rational agent will believe what they rationally-ought to believe, and that includes any implications of anti-realism for action.
I don’t mean norm in the sense of “arbitrary standards imposed by society on everybody” , I mean it in the sense of “non arbitrary rules you should follow if you want to obtain specific results”. Rationality is it’s own norm, in that sense.
I think your second sentence is tautological, in that if an agent doesn’t believe what it rationally-ought, then it’s not a rational agent
Moral anti-realists do not claim that people don’t have preferences. Rather, they claim that there are no preference-assumption-free facts regarding preference system comparisons. Therefore moral anti realists will not seek such facts. Moral realists may seek such facts in order to improve/correct their preferences.

I think I fully disagree that rationality is a norm. It’s a cluster of things, but the socially-enforced expected patterns are not a big part of it.
And I think your second sentence is tautological, in that if an agent doesn’t believe what it rationally-ought, then it’s not a rational agent.
I do agree that it’s difficult for anti-realists to crisply define “ought” in any way that’s distinct from “prefer”.

Yep. But tautologies are true
The implications of moral anti realism for action revolve around pursuing facts to feed into terminal preference updates.
Do you mind explaining further?
