This doesn't really work as a schema as it matches every property or 
child node.

I meant documenting these as schema, not just in a description:

properties:
  board_id:
    type: object
    description: ...

  board_flags:
    type: object
    description: ...

I'm guessing making this list exhaustive is not possible?

     type: object

To say anything else must be a child node.
