I've created an Action that essentially takes an input, which contains XML and converts it to JSON using the following code:
(function execute(inputs, outputs) {
var res = gs.xmlToJSON(inputs.payload);
Outputs.custom_output = res.results.result.stdout;
})(inputs, outputs);When testing the subflow and evaluating the subflow execution details, I can confirm the following
All steps leading up to the action that parses payload complete successfully:
The payload runtime value is populated with properly formatted XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><results probe_time="2372"><result command="powershell .\scripts\PowerShell\CustomPowerShellScript.ps1"><stdout>"ExpectedResult"</stdout><stderr/></result><parameters><parameter name="agent" value="mid.server.midservername"/><parameter name="signature" value=""/><parameter name="source" value=""/><parameter name="skip_sensor" value="true"/><parameter name="sys_id" value="somelongvalue"/><parameter name="from_host" value=""/><parameter name="sys_created_on" value="2026-01-23 21:49:25"/><parameter name="_msg_read" value="2026-01-23T13:49:16.503-0800"/><parameter name="sys_domain" value="global"/><parameter name="_msg_process_start" value="2026-01-23T13:49:16.505-0800"/><parameter name="state" value="ready"/><parameter name="_msg_response_queued" value="2026-01-23T13:49:18.877-0800"/><parameter name="_msg_process_end" value="2026-01-23T13:49:18.877-0800"/><parameter name="response_to" value=""/><parameter name="from_sys_id" value=""/><parameter name="priority" value="2"/><parameter name="agent_correlator" value=""/><parameter name="processed" value=""/><parameter name="error_string" value=""/><parameter name="sequence" value="19becd561b50000001"/><parameter name="name" value="powershell .\scripts\PowerShell\CustomPowerShellScript.ps1"/><parameter name="topic" value="Command"/><parameter name="_msg_submit_to_worker_pool" value="2026-01-23T13:49:16.505-0800"/><parameter name="queue" value="output"/><parameter name="ecc_queue" value="somelongvalue"/></parameters></results>
The runtime value of the action status shows:
{
"Action Status": {
"code": 1,
"message": "Error: \"gs\" is not defined.,Detail: \"gs\" is not defined."
}
}
I also don't have any other code referencing gs.* further confirming it's specific to that call action.
