 ##### Format Check 
 [![Format Check](https://github.com/nasa/osal/actions/workflows/format-check.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/nasa/osal/actions/workflows/format-check.yml)
 
+This action uses clang-format-10 to check for format errors.

 ##### CodeQL Analysis 
 [![CodeQL Analaysis](https://github.com/nasa/cfs/actions/workflows/codeql-build.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/nasa/cfs/actions/workflows/codeql-build.yml)
 
-CodeQL uses a .yml file and a configuration file found at [.github/codeql](https://github.com/nasa/cFS/tree/main/.github/codeql).
+This action runs GitHub's industry-leading static analysis engine, CodeQL, against our repository's source code to find security vulnerabilities. It then automatically uploads the results to GitHub so they can be displayed in the repository's code scanning alerts found under the security tab. CodeQL runs an extensible set of [queries](https://github.com/github/codeql), which have been developed by the community and the [GitHub Security Lab](https://securitylab.github.com/) to find common vulnerabilities in your code.
+
+Our CodeQL action uses a configuration file to use specific queries, which can be found at [.github/codeql](https://github.com/nasa/cFS/tree/main/.github/codeql).

 [![Static Analaysis](https://github.com/nasa/cfs/actions/workflows/static-analysis.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/nasa/cfs/actions/workflows/static-analysis.yml)
 
+This action runs a static analysis tool for C/C++ code known as cppcheck. Cppcheck is designed to be able to analyze C/C++ code even if it has non-standard syntax, which is common in embedded projects.
