Variable in GraphQL bulk operation?

I’m trying to run a bulk operation that has a variable in it. It’s almost identical to the example here: https://shopify.dev/api/usage/bulk-operations/queries except the query has a variable in it, e.g.:

mutation BulkOrders($created_at: String!) {
  bulkOperationRunQuery(
    query:"""
    {
      products(query: $created_at) {
        edges {
          node {
            id
          }
        }
      }
    }
    """
  ) {
    bulkOperation {
      id
      status
    }
    userErrors {
      field
      message
    }
  }
}

Is there any way for this to work? Trying to invoke it as is, with a variable like:

{
  "created_at": "created_at:>'2022-04-22T00:00:00'"
}

yields:

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Variable $created_at is declared by BulkOrders but not used",
      "locations": [
        {
          "line": 1,
          "column": 1
        }
      ],
      "path": [
        "mutation BulkOrders"
      ],
      "extensions": {
        "code": "variableNotUsed",
        "variableName": "created_at"
      }
    }
  ]
}

I guess the string in bulkOperationRunQuery has to be static, so this is impossible? Is there any way to do a parameterized bulk query (beyond generating one per variable value dynamically at run time)?

The query string is static. Parameters cannot be resolved within the query string, so the query must be built dynamically on the GraphQL client side.
