aria-actions example: is "Actions for" redundant in aria-label="Actions for Nurse shark tab"

Since authors will be following this, I was wondering if we really want authors to be putting "Actions for" or something with the word "Actions" in the actual action labels. We (Chromium) are using this example with screen reader vendors, and I'm concerned that they'll not mention that it's an action since it will sound redundant with the label.

Honestly, I think every word in the label is redundant, such as "Nurse shark" being redundant with the current focus and redundant as well as "tab" also being redundant with the role.

Not sure what a good label would be or what guidance we want to give authors on labelling actions.
