Scan File
Scans a file and returns the analysis.
If the file is uploaded to a URL, it is preferred that you use the "Scan URL" action instead.
NOTE: If the analysis is taking too long, this action may return it in a queued state. You can use the "Get Analysis" action to retrieve it's completed result later or increase the step timeout.
