What does this mean in the context of a trivial one line Action like this?:
return {“wiretest/local”: [“[https://picsum.photos/seed/wiretest/512/512”\](https://picsum.photos/seed/wiretest/512/512%E2%80%9D%5C)]}

Hey @kenlyle Can you clarify the intent of this Action?
**A)** Call an external webhook (e.g., Make) and return its result, or **B)** pass values to another Pickaxe Action?
The line `return {"wiretest/local"}` won’t work because it returns a set (and has smart quotes).
- If **A (webhook)**: use `requests.post(webhook_url, json=payload)` and **return a JSON-serializable dict** , e.g. `{ "status": "ok", "data": ... }`.
- If **B (connected action)**: **return a dict whose keys match the next step’s input names** , e.g. `{ "path": "wiretest/local" }`.
Could you share (1) the Action code, (2) the next step’s input field names, and (3) the exact error/log you see?

The intent is the simplest possible best of the apparent platform issue [Subject: URGENT: Custom Action overridden by default Replicate Action in new Pickaxe (hard\_smoke true still triggers Replicate build) — P0](https://community.pickaxe.co/t/subject-urgent-custom-action-overridden-by-default-replicate-action-in-new-pickaxe-hard-smoke-true-still-triggers-replicate-build-p0/7360) where the platform seems to run the public Replicate action when not asked.
The petty issues like quote types are exactly why I asked for Python linting.
The image to be generated, just as a placeholder- the URL I uploaded had picked up a trailing quote, resolved to
