Creating an action with a loosely defined parameter

[Marco Ceppi]

I haven't tried, but I suppose if you set it to just a `type: object`
without params it might accept any arbitrary key. There are downsides to
this, as you won't get validation. It also might just flat out not work.
I'll see if I can test this a bit more
