i want to set "align to grid" for all paragraph styles in my document to "none".

Loop over every style using the script developed in this thread: Detailed font change in paragraph styles

As it is, it changes the font, so check the documentation for what property you want to change: https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#ParagraphStyle.html

The top property is "alignToBaseline", and if you might have changed something to First Line Only, set gridAlignFirstLineOnly to false as well.

How to check "Align To Grid" options used in paragraphStyles.

How to use "gridAlignment" property.

var myDoc =app.activeDocument
for(var ps=2;ps<myDoc.paragraphStyles.length;ps++){
  if(myDoc.paragraphStyles[ps].gridAlignment!=1852796517){ //GridAlignment.NONE
     alert(myDoc.paragraphStyles[ps].name);
 }
}
