Perhaps word as something like "Can be used to pass additional custom data
to the `WinrmTool`, which is especially useful if writing a bespoke tool

Your description is accurate for your use-case, but really it's not
specific to the customizer - it could be passed in as normal location config or
entity `provisioning.properties`.
