enabled	Boolean	Required. Whether the muting rule is active.	`true`
condition	Map	Required. The condition group that defines which violations to mute. Requires `operator` (`AND` or `OR`) and `conditions` — a list of `{attribute, operator, values}` entries. `attribute` can be `accountId`, `conditionId`, `conditionName`, `conditionType`, `entity.guid`, `nrqlEventType`, `nrqlQuery`, `policyId`, `policyName`, `product`, `tags.<NAME>`, `targetId`, or `targetName`. `operator` for each entry is one of `ANY`, `CONTAINS`, `ENDS_WITH`, `EQUALS`, `IN`, `IS_BLANK`, `IS_NOT_BLANK`, `NOT_CONTAINS`, `NOT_ENDS_WITH`, `NOT_EQUALS`, `NOT_IN`, `NOT_STARTS_WITH`, or `STARTS_WITH`.	`{"operator": "AND", "conditions": [{"attribute": "policyName", "operator": "EQUALS", "values": ["Checkout Service"]}]}`
description	String	Optional. Free-text description of the muting rule.	`"Suppresses notifications during the weekly maintenance window."`
actionOnMutingRuleWindowEnded	String	Optional. What happens to open issues when the muting window ends or the rule is disabled. One of `CLOSE_ISSUES_ON_INACTIVE` or `DO_NOTHING`.	`"DO_NOTHING"`
schedule	Map	Optional. The time window during which the rule actively mutes violations. Omit for an always-on rule. Fields: `startTime` and `endTime` (local ISO 8601 without offset, e.g. `2026-09-01T02:00:00`), `timeZone` (IANA zone, e.g. `America/Los_Angeles`), `repeat` (`DAILY`, `WEEKLY`, or `MONTHLY`; omit for one-time), `weeklyRepeatDays` (required when `repeat` is `WEEKLY`), and one of `repeatCount` or `endRepeat` to bound the recurrence.	`{"startTime": "2026-09-01T02:00:00", "endTime": "2026-09-01T04:00:00", "timeZone": "America/Los_Angeles", "repeat": "WEEKLY", "weeklyRepeatDays": ["SATURDAY", "SUNDAY"]}`
selectors	List	Optional. JQ selectors to extract values from the response.	`selectors: - name: mutingRuleId expression: ".data.alertsMutingRuleCreate.id"`

The following table describes all output fields returned by this action.

Output	Type	Description
success	Boolean	`true` when the step executed without error.
errorMessage	String	Error message on failure. `null` on success.
data	Map	NerdGraph response. Use `selectors` to extract `id`, `name`, `enabled`, `status`, or `accountId` from `data`. `{ "data": { "alertsMutingRuleCreate": { "id": "7654321", "name": "Deploy window - checkout service", "enabled": true, "status": "ACTIVE", "accountId": 123456 } } }`
