 | `name` | {% octicon "x" aria-label="Optional" %} | The name of the rule. {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_caps %} displays the name to allow results to be filtered by rule on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. Limited to 255 characters. |
 | `shortDescription.text` | {% octicon "check" aria-label="Required" %} | A concise description of the rule. {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_caps %} displays the short description on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} next to the associated results. Limited to 1024 characters.
 | `fullDescription.text` | {% octicon "check" aria-label="Required" %} | A description of the rule. {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_caps %} displays the full description on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} next to the associated results. Limited to 1024 characters.
-| `defaultConfiguration.level` | {% octicon "x" aria-label="Optional" %} | Default severity level of the rule. {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_caps %} uses severity levels to help you understand how critical the result is for a given rule. This value can be overridden by the `level` attribute in the `result` object. For more information, see the [`result` object](#result-object). Default: `warning`.
+| `defaultConfiguration.level` | {% octicon "x" aria-label="Optional" %} | Default severity level of the rule. {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_caps %} uses severity levels to help you understand how critical the result is for a given rule. By default, the `defaultConfiguration.level` is set to `warning`. However, you can override the default level for a rule by setting the `level` attribute in the `result` object associated with the result. For more information, please refer to the documentation on the [`result` object](#result-object). The valid values for `defaultConfiguration.level` are: `note`, `warning` and `error`.
 | `help.text` | {% octicon "check" aria-label="Required" %} | Documentation for the rule using text format. {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_caps %} displays this help documentation next to the associated results.
 | `help.markdown` |{% octicon "x" aria-label="Optional" %} | (Recommended) Documentation for the rule using Markdown format. {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_caps %} displays this help documentation next to the associated results. When `help.markdown` is available, it is displayed instead of `help.text`.
 | `properties.tags[]` | {% octicon "x" aria-label="Optional" %} | An array of strings. {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_caps %} uses `tags` to allow you to filter results on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. For example, it is possible to filter to all results that have the tag `security`.
 | `properties.precision` | {% octicon "x" aria-label="Optional" %} | (Recommended) A string that indicates how often the results indicated by this rule are true. For example, if a rule has a known high false-positive rate, the precision should be `low`. {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_caps %} orders results by precision on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} so that the results with the highest `level`, and highest `precision` are shown first. Can be one of: `very-high`, `high`, `medium`, or `low`.
 | `properties.problem.severity` | {% octicon "x" aria-label="Optional" %} | (Recommended) A string that indicates the level of severity of any alerts generated by a non-security query. This, with the `properties.precision` property, determines whether the results are displayed by default on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} so that the results with the highest `problem.severity`, and highest `precision` are shown first. Can be one of: `error`, `warning`, or `recommendation`.
-| `properties.security-severity` | {% octicon "x" aria-label="Optional" %} | (Recommended) A string representing a score that indicates the level of severity, between 0.0 and 10.0, for security queries (`@tags` includes `security`). This, with the `properties.precision` property, determines whether the results are displayed by default on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} so that the results with the highest `security-severity`, and highest `precision` are shown first. {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_caps %} translates numerical scores as follows: over 9.0 is `critical`, 7.0 to 8.9  is `high`, 4.0 to 6.9 is `medium` and 3.9 or less is `low`.
+| `properties.security-severity` | {% octicon "x" aria-label="Optional" %} | (Recommended only for security rules) If you include a value for this field, results for the rule are treated as security results. A string representing a score that indicates the level of severity, between 0.0 and 10.0, for security queries (`@tags` includes `security`). This, with the `properties.precision` property, determines whether the results are displayed by default on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} so that the results with the highest `security-severity`, and highest `precision` are shown first. {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_caps %} translates numerical scores as follows: over 9.0 is `critical`, 7.0 to 8.9  is `high`, 4.0 to 6.9 is `medium` and 3.9 or less is `low`.
