Examples
Most of the time you would use this action to get a list of all the file paths of your Periodic Notes of a certain type (Daily, Weekly, etc.), then loop over the results list using the built-in "Repeat With" block. If you want to retrieve the details of the notes, you would use a Get Note action and use the loop variable Repeat Item as the argument for the "File Path" parameter.
Like so:
If you want to filter the list by folders etc., I recommend using the "Filter List" action from Sindre Sorhus's excellent Actions app (no relation) or a built-in "Repeat With" loop with a contained "If" action.
