Summary
Running ansible-lint against the playbook produces a fatal violation.
Looking at the source code of the module it seems the arguments mentioned in the violation are set to be required although they are hidden. We presume this is what's causing this issue.

Create a playbook file with the contents below. Then run ansible-lint against the playbook file.
