Gmail not recognizing JSON-LD

I am attempting to test Gmail's capabilities to process embedded JSON-LD in an HTML message in order to show the relevant action in the Inbox view, the introduction of which is described here. I have sent myself a message (using the Python API), for which I expect Gmail to render my View Action, an example of which is shown here. However, nothing is happening. I am expecting to see a link for "View File", similar to one that would be displayed for flight reservations, etc.

I'm trying to understand if there is a problem with my particular JSON-LD content, or if I'm trying to do something that isn't supported. The relevant JSON-LD segment, as embedded in the <body>, is this:

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "http://schema.org",
  "@type": "CreativeWork",
  "@id": "http://my-site.com/file/1",
  "additionalType": "http://www.productontology.org/id/Computer_file",
  "name": "My File",
  "description": "View this file",
  "url": "http://my-site.com/file/1",
  "action": {
    "@type": "ViewAction",
    "url": "http://my-site.com/file/1",
    "name": "View File"
  }
}
</script>

In case there is some issue with the way the email is encoded, here it is in raw format (personal info redacted)
