In this paper, we propose necessary and sufficient conditions for a scalar function to be nonincreasing along solutions to general differential inclusions with state constraints. The problem of determining if a function is nonincreasing appears in the study of stability and safety, typically using Lyapunov and barrier functions, respectively. The results in this paper present infinitesimal conditions that do not require any knowledge about the solutions to the system. Results under different regularity properties of the considered scalar function are provided. This includes when the scalar function is lower semicontinuous, locally Lipschitz and regular, or continuously differentiable.
