Since the ability to bulk edit rules and assign an action does not exist, how can I do this with the API? I've tried a few methods via the Kibana console under dev tools but cannot get any of the GET's to return data (like GET /api/detection\_engine/rules)
What I'm trying to accomplish is set the action for all 600+ rules to be Microsoft Teams with a specific format:
> {{#context.alerts}}
> {{signal.rule.name}}
> _{{signal.rule.severity}}_ - {{signal.reason}}
>
> {{signal.rule.description}}
> {{/context.alerts}}
