 * Action functions are declared by modules by implementing hook_action_info().
 * Modules can run action functions to run by calling action_execute().
 *
 * Each action function takes two arguments:
 * - $entity: The object that the action acts on, such as a node, comment, or
 *   user.
 * - $context: An array of information passed by reference that includes
 *   information about the current action execution, including the following
 *   keys:
 *   - action_name: The name of the action being executed.
 *   - action_info: The definition of the action being executed, as provided by
 *     hook_action_info().
 *   - redirect: A path to which the user should be redirected after the action
 *     is complete. This can be used to direct the user to a configuration form
 *     to configure the action or ask for confirmation.
