 * **analysis_timeout_in_seconds**: This integer is the time to wait for an analysis to complete.
 * **try_to_download_every_file**: This is a flag used for indicating if we want to attempt to download every available file, despite receiving an error on a previous attempt.
-* **download_subfiles**: This is a flag used for indicating if we want to download sub files. Users may want to set this to `false` because extracted [files that are downloaded count against your quota](https://support.intezer.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021366619-How-is-Your-Analysis-Quota-Calculated-).

 * **min_malware_genes**: This is the minimum number of "malware" genes found in the "Family Details" for us to set the verdict of the analysis to malicious.
 * **score_administration_tools**: This is a flag used for indicating if we want to score files marked as "administration tools" as suspicious. If set to `false`, then no file with this designation will score based on this.
 * **use_black_box_verdicts**: This is a flag used for indicating if we want to use the verdict that the Intezer assigns an analysis based on their proprietary algorithm for verdicts. If not, we will rely on gene counts.
