Tool Selection Guide
Finding the Right Node
Workflow:
1. search_nodes({query: "keyword"})
2. get_node({nodeType: "nodes-base.name"})
3. [Optional] get_node({nodeType: "nodes-base.name", mode: "docs"})
Example:
// Step 1: Search
search_nodes({query: "slack"})
// Returns: nodes-base.slack
// Step 2: Get details
get_node({nodeType: "nodes-base.slack"})
// Returns: operations, properties, examples (standard detail)
// Step 3: Get readable documentation
get_node({nodeType: "nodes-base.slack", mode: "docs"})
// Returns: markdown documentation
Common pattern: search → get_node (18s average)
Validating Configuration
Workflow:
1. validate_node({nodeType, config: {}, mode: "minimal"}) - Check required fields
2. validate_node({nodeType, config, profile: "runtime"}) - Full validation
3. [Repeat] Fix errors, validate again
Common pattern: validate → fix → validate (23s thinking, 58s fixing per cycle)
Managing Workflows
Workflow:
1. n8n_create_workflow({name, nodes, connections})
2. n8n_validate_workflow({id})
3. n8n_update_partial_workflow({id, operations: [...]})
4. n8n_validate_workflow({id}) again
5. n8n_update_partial_workflow({id, operations: [{type: "activateWorkflow"}]})
Common pattern: iterative updates (56s average between edits)
Critical: Node JSON Hygiene When Creating Workflows
Three structural mistakes in generated node JSON break the n8n UI even when the workflow validates:
- Never emit a
credentialsblock with a placeholder ID. A fake ID like"id": "REPLACE_ME"renders the credential selector permanently disabled and non-clickable in the n8n UI ("No credentials yet") — the user has to recreate the node from scratch. If you don't know the real credential ID, omit thecredentialsblock entirely; an absent block shows a normal empty dropdown the user can click. Usen8n_manage_credentials({action: "list"})to discover real credential IDs first.
// ❌ Breaks the credential selector
"credentials": {"httpHeaderAuth": {"id": "REPLACE_ME", "name": "My API Key"}}
// ✅ Unknown ID → omit credentials block; user picks in UI
// ✅ Known ID (from n8n_manage_credentials list) → use the real ID
-
Generate UUID v4 values for node
id— not human-readable strings like"http-list-node". n8n's frontend uses node IDs for form binding and credential component initialization; non-UUID IDs cause subtle UI breakage. -
Use the current
typeVersionfor each node — checkget_noderather than hardcoding remembered versions (e.g. httpRequest is at 4.4+, not 4.2).
Critical: nodeType Formats
Two different formats for different tools!
Format 1: Search/Validate Tools
// Use SHORT prefix
"nodes-base.slack"
"nodes-base.httpRequest"
"nodes-base.webhook"
"nodes-langchain.agent"
Tools that use this:
- search_nodes (returns this format)
- get_node
- validate_node
- validate_workflow
Format 2: Workflow Tools
// Use FULL prefix
"n8n-nodes-base.slack"
"n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest"
"n8n-nodes-base.webhook"
"@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.agent"
Tools that use this:
- n8n_create_workflow
- n8n_update_partial_workflow
Conversion
// search_nodes returns BOTH formats
{
"nodeType": "nodes-base.slack", // For search/validate tools
"workflowNodeType": "n8n-nodes-base.slack" // For workflow tools
}
Common Mistakes
Eight recurring mistakes. Two are worth showing in full because they silently corrupt structure:
// nodeType prefix (search/validate tools want the SHORT form)
get_node({nodeType: "slack"}) // ❌ missing prefix → "Node not found"
get_node({nodeType: "n8n-nodes-base.slack"}) // ❌ FULL prefix is for workflow tools
get_node({nodeType: "nodes-base.slack"}) // ✅
// credentials must be nested by type with {id, name} — not a flat string
updates: {credentials: "myApiKey"} // ❌
updates: {credentials: {httpHeaderAuth: {id: "abc123", name: "My API Key"}}} // ✅
| # | Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wrong nodeType format | SHORT nodes-base.* for search/validate; FULL n8n-nodes-base.* for workflow tools (see above) |
| 2 | detail: "full" by default | Default standard covers 95%; reach for docs/search_properties instead of full |
| 3 | No validation profile | Pass profile: "runtime" explicitly (minimal/ai-friendly/strict for other stages) |
| 4 | Ignoring auto-sanitization | ALL nodes sanitized on ANY update (operator structures, IF/Switch metadata); it can't fix broken connections or branch-count mismatches |
| 5 | Not using smart parameters | Use branch: "true" / case: 0 instead of fragile sourceIndex math |
| 6 | Omitting intent | Always include intent on n8n_update_partial_workflow for better responses |
| 7 | parameters instead of updates | updateNode takes updates: {...}, not parameters: {...} |
| 8 | Wrong credential format | Nest by type with {id, name} (see above) |
Full WRONG/CORRECT examples for each: see VALIDATION_GUIDE.md → Common Mistakes.
Tool Usage Patterns
Three patterns dominate real usage. Worked, step-by-step examples for each live in the reference guides.
- Pattern 1 — Node Discovery (18s avg between steps):
search_nodes({query})→get_node({nodeType, includeExamples: true}). See SEARCH_GUIDE.md. - Pattern 2 — Validation Loop (23s thinking, 58s fixing):
validate_node({profile: "runtime"})→ readerrors→ fix config → validate again until clean. See VALIDATION_GUIDE.md. - Pattern 3 — Workflow Editing (99.0% success, 56s avg between edits): iterate
n8n_update_partial_workflow(withintent) →n8n_validate_workflow→ finallyactivateWorkflow. Build iteratively, NOT one-shot. See WORKFLOW_GUIDE.md.
Detailed Guides
Node Discovery Tools
See SEARCH_GUIDE.md for:
- search_nodes
- get_node with detail levels (minimal, standard, full)
- get_node modes (info, docs, search_properties, versions)
Validation Tools
See VALIDATION_GUIDE.md for:
- Validation profiles explained
- validate_node with modes (minimal, full)
- validate_workflow complete structure
- Auto-sanitization system
- Handling validation errors
Workflow Management
See WORKFLOW_GUIDE.md for:
- n8n_create_workflow
- n8n_update_partial_workflow (21 operation types including patchNodeField, setNodeGroups, and moveToFolder!)
- Smart parameters (branch, case)
- AI connection types (8 types)
- Workflow activation (activateWorkflow/deactivateWorkflow)
- n8n_deploy_template
- n8n_workflow_versions
- n8n_manage_folders (folder CRUD + workflow placement)
- n8n_manage_credentials (credential CRUD + schema discovery)
- n8n_audit_instance (security auditing)
Templates, Data Tables & Self-Help
See OPERATIONS_GUIDE.md for:
- search_templates / get_template / n8n_deploy_template examples
- n8n_manage_datatable (full actions, filter conditions, examples)
- tools_documentation, ai_agents_guide, n8n_health_check
Template Usage
The 2,700+ template library has three tools: search_templates (modes query/by_nodes/by_task/by_metadata), get_template (modes structure/full), and n8n_deploy_template (deploys to your instance with autoFix/autoUpgradeVersions, returns workflow ID + required credentials + fixes applied).
See OPERATIONS_GUIDE.md for full search/get/deploy examples.
Running Workflows
n8n_test_workflow has one required parameter (workflowId) and a method that picks the path:
method | Backend | What it does |
|---|---|---|
auto (default) | Public API | Detects a webhook/form/chat trigger and fires it over HTTP — the workflow must be active. No such trigger → it reports that the workflow cannot be triggered and names the methods below. auto never runs anything through n8n's MCP server. |
trigger | Public API | Same HTTP path, requested explicitly. |
prepare | n8n's MCP server | Read-only: lists the nodes that need pinned data. |
pinned | n8n's MCP server | Runs the workflow with pinData standing in for trigger, credentialed and HTTP Request nodes, and waits. Every other node still runs. A run that finishes in error/crashed/canceled comes back as EXECUTION_FAILED with the executionId. |
direct | n8n's MCP server | Starts a run and returns once it has started; nothing is pinned, so every node runs. message or data/headers are forwarded to the trigger as input. |

- Permission surface may require sandboxing
- SKILL.md does not explicitly document security handling for sensitive n8n credentials or advise confirming user authorization before invoking destructive credential/workflow operations.
- The skill depends on n8n-mcp tools with broad capabilities, but it does not itself limit or scope those permissions; security ultimately depends on MCP server configuration.
- Quality score needs review
- Permission surface needs review: secrets or environment access, network or browser access
- Permission surface: secrets or environment access, network or browser access
