function Handler($context, $inputs) {
    $inputsString = $inputs | ConvertTo-Json -Compress

    Write-Host "Inputs were $inputsString"

    $output=@{status = 'done'}

    return $output
}

and this is the command is Ps  I want to put  in this action

param (
    [string]$vmName
)

$pingResult = Test-Connection -ComputerName $vmName -Count 2 -Quiet

if ($pingResult) {
    Write-Host "A reply was received from Hostname/IP $vmName!"
    return $true
} else {
    Write-Host "No answer to ping from $vmName "" !"
    return $false
}

This is how to run your code as PowerShell action:

function Handler($context, $inputs) {

    $vmName = $inputs.vmName
    $pingResult = Test-Connection -ComputerName $vmName -Count 2 -Quiet

    if ($pingResult) {
        Write-Host "A reply was received from Hostname/IP $vmName!"
        return $true
    }
    else {
        Write-Host "No answer to ping from $vmName!"
        return $false
    }
}

However, this did not work well for me on Orchestrator 8.16 (with an additional debug command
Test-Connection -ComputerName $vmName -Count 2 | Format-Table | Out-String | Write-Host):

Orchestartor 8.13 was more verbose:

So this is probably not working as the code runs in a container.

What does work, is pure JavaScript:

return System.isHostReachable(vmName);
