Watch out for

Jamf API rate limits can halt execution, so implement exponential backoff logic for failed requests.
Missing or null values in patch data may crash the parser, add default empty strings to prevent runtime errors.
Slack Block Kit has strict size constraints, truncate long patch descriptions to avoid posting failures.
Authentication tokens expire periodically, schedule a token refresh mechanism to maintain continuous monitoring.
