React with Rest Link: Input fields in mutations are ignored, data not included in mutation definition is still sent to server

I have a js object based on form data that looks like this:

{
  title: "SomeTitle",
  scope: [{}],
  // + ...other properties
}

One property (scope) is currently not supported and should not be part of the server payload. My mutation therefore looks like this:

export const addItemMutation = gql`
  mutation AddItem($input: Item!) {
    addItem(input: $input) @rest(type: "Post", path: "TmpApi", method: "POST") {
      title
    }
  }
`;

Although the scope property is omitted from the mutation, all properties end up in the payload to the server, causing the request to fail:

How do I correctly omit fields from being sent as part of the mutation?
