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:

  1. Never emit a credentials block 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 the credentials block entirely; an absent block shows a normal empty dropdown the user can click. Use n8n_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
  1. 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.

  2. Use the current typeVersion for each node — check get_node rather 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"}}}  // ✅
#MistakeFix
1Wrong nodeType formatSHORT nodes-base.* for search/validate; FULL n8n-nodes-base.* for workflow tools (see above)
2detail: "full" by defaultDefault standard covers 95%; reach for docs/search_properties instead of full
3No validation profilePass profile: "runtime" explicitly (minimal/ai-friendly/strict for other stages)
4Ignoring auto-sanitizationALL nodes sanitized on ANY update (operator structures, IF/Switch metadata); it can't fix broken connections or branch-count mismatches
5Not using smart parametersUse branch: "true" / case: 0 instead of fragile sourceIndex math
6Omitting intentAlways include intent on n8n_update_partial_workflow for better responses
7parameters instead of updatesupdateNode takes updates: {...}, not parameters: {...}
8Wrong credential formatNest 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"}) → read errors → 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 (with intent) → n8n_validate_workflow → finally activateWorkflow. Build iteratively, NOT one-shot. See WORKFLOW_GUIDE.md.

Detailed Guides

Node Discovery Tools

See SEARCH_GUIDE.md for:

  • search_nodes

  • 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

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:

methodBackendWhat it does
auto (default)Public APIDetects 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.
triggerPublic APISame HTTP path, requested explicitly.
preparen8n's MCP serverRead-only: lists the nodes that need pinned data.
pinnedn8n's MCP serverRuns 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.
directn8n's MCP serverStarts 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.
  • The last three need N8N_MCP_ACCESS_TOKEN (n8n 2.34+) a

  2. 2Agent um einen Plan bitten. Einrichtung und Kosten vor einem isolierten Test genehmigen.
  3. 3Ergebnisse und geänderte Dateien prüfen. Nur tatsächliche Ausführungen melden und die Quellrevision aufbewahren.

Prüfe Abhängigkeiten, API-Schlüssel und externe Kosten in der Quelle. Öffentliche Repositories bedeuten nicht, dass alle Dienste kostenlos sind.

Prüfung nötig

  • 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
