+  **removeAdditional:**
+
+  Determines whether to keep or remove additional properties in request body or to fail validation if schema has `additionalProperties` set to `false`. For futher details, refer to [AJV documentation](https://ajv.js.org/docs/validation.html#removing-additional-properties)
+
+  - `false` (**default**) - not to remove additional properties
+  - `"all"` - all additional properties are removed, regardless of additionalProperties keyword in schema (and no validation is made for them).
+  - `true` - only additional properties with additionalProperties keyword equal to false are removed.
+  - `"failing"` - additional properties that fail request schema validation will be removed (where additionalProperties keyword is false or schema).
+
+  For example:
+
+  ```javascript
+  validateRequests: {
+    removeAdditional: true;
+  }
+  ```
