        "Severity": "High",
        "Recommendation": "Avoid altering the function signature in a way that may break existing code",
        "Description": "The function AddAction has had an additional parameter skipContainerJobs added which may break existing code that calls this function without providing this new parameter.",
        "Remediation": "To prevent breaking existing code, provide a default value for the skipContainerJobs parameter or refactor the function in a backward-compatible way."

        "Severity": "Medium",
        "Recommendation": "Validate input parameters to prevent unexpected behavior",
        "Description": "The function AddAction does not validate the skipContainerJobs parameter, potentially leading to unexpected behavior if it is called with an incorrect type.",
        "Remediation": "Add input validation for the skipContainerJobs parameter to ensure it is a boolean type before using it in the function."
