Passing in an Apex method parameter from Promise correctly?

I keep getting an error from the response of my promise, if I give it a parameter. I can’t tell if I am suppose to pass in "columndefinitions" parameter to the apex method or not. I have included picture to help. PS: If I leave the parameter out, it returns an empty array but no errors.

Thoughts: Am I passing in the paramater incorrectly? Did I format my column defenitions wrong? Is it a syntax issue?

JS FILE

//before render, call an apex method query...
connectedCallback() {
   getValidFields(this.getColumnDefinitions)
             .then((response) => {
                console.log('getvalidfields', response)
               }).catch((error) => {
                console.error(error);
});

getColumnDefinitions() {
        return [
            {
                object: "Contact", apiName: "Name", label: 'Name', fieldName: 'contactURL', type: 'url', iconName: 'standard:contact', sortable: 'true',

 @AuraEnabled
    public static List<Map<String, Object>> getValidFields(List<Map<String, Object>> columnDefinitions) {
        for (Integer i = 0; i < columnDefinitions.size(); i++) {
            Map<String, Object> column = columnDefinitions.get(i);
            if (column.containsKey('object') && !userHasAccess((String) column.get('object'), (String) column.get('apiName'))) {
                columnDefinitions.remove(i);

    }

>Solution :

You should pass parameters as object if you call apex action imperatively from LWC. Object properties should be name like your Apex method parameters.

In your case it should be:

getValidFields({ columnDefinitions: this.getColumnDefinitions()} ).then(...)
