## Implementation Statistics
### Current Coverage
| Category | Total Methods | Implemented | Missing | Validated | % Complete |
|----------|---------------|-------------|---------|-----------|-----------|
| Workflows | 8 | 7 | 1 | 0 | 88% |
| Executions | 4 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 75% |
| Credentials | 6 | 0 | 6 | 0 | 0% |
| Tags | 5 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 100% |
| **TOTAL** | **23** | **15** | **8** | **0** | **65%** |
**Note:** Total is 23 methods from official n8n REST API documentation. The `execute_workflow` tool exists in MCP implementation but is not a standard n8n REST API endpoint (it's an MCP-specific wrapper).
### Target After Epic 2 Completion
| Category | Total Methods | Implemented | Validated | % Complete |
