  "dryRun": false
}

1. Start with the first input example below using dryRun=false and a descriptive SEC User-Agent.
2. Keep generateReport=true and emitUnchanged=false so recurring no-change runs emit zero rows and zero charges.
3. Review source-linked alert/report rows and billingEventName values before scheduling recurring runs.
