To get a list of VictorOps actions, you could use the repository() query like so:

graphql

query {
     repository(name: "humio")
        { id, name,
          actions { id, name, 
                    ... on VictorOpsAction { id, name } }
          }
   }

For more information on VictorOps actions, see the Action Type: VictorOps (Splunk On-Call) documentation page. You may also want to look at the Actions page for related information.
