This is the static query

I think it’s just you’re trying to perform a mutation inside a collection, but a collection is made to request data with a query, not a mutation  
Probably under the hood we perform a GET request, but a mutation require a POST request. If you need to perform a mutation, please use a global workflow and add the GraphQL request action, it should works
