- Set it to a list of endpoint attributes (e.g. `["host", "port"]`). If at least one endpoint pair between the two findings matches on all listed attributes, deduplication can occur.

### Unique ID From Tool or Hash Code
A finding is a duplicate with another if they have the same unique_id_from_tool OR the same hash_code.

- Intended flow:
1) Try to deduplicate using the tool’s unique ID (endpoints ignored on this path).
2) If no match by unique ID, fall back to the Hash Code path.
- When falling back to hash code, endpoint behavior is identical to the Hash Code algorithm.
The endpoints also have to match for the findings to be considered duplicates, see the Hash Code algorithm above.
