Implementation Reference
- src/tools/execution-tools.ts:114-147 (handler)The async handler function implementing the core logic of n8n_list_executions. It calls N8nApiClient.listExecutions with filtered parameters, maps execution data, and returns formatted JSON response with count, executions list, and pagination info.
n8n_list_executions: async ( client: N8nApiClient, args: Record<string, unknown> ): Promise<ToolResult> => { const result = await client.listExecutions({ workflowId: args.workflowId as string | undefined, status: args.status as 'success' | 'error' | 'waiting' | undefined, limit: (args.limit as number) || 20, includeData: args.includeData as boolean | undefined, }); const executions = result.data.map((e) => ({ id: e.id, workflowId: e.workflowId, status: e.status, mode: e.mode, startedAt: e.startedAt, stoppedAt: e.stoppedAt, finished: e.finished, })); return { content: [ { type: 'text' as const, text: JSON.stringify({ count: executions.length, executions, hasMore: !!result.nextCursor, }, null, 2), }, ], }; }, - src/tools/execution-tools.ts:14-39 (schema)ToolDefinition object specifying the name, description, and inputSchema for validating parameters: workflowId (string), status (enum), limit (number), includeData (boolean).

// Execution tools if (name in executionToolHandlers) { const handler = executionToolHandlers[name as keyof typeof executionToolHandlers]; return handler(client, args); } - src/tools/index.ts:12-16 (registration)Aggregation of all tool definitions including executionTools (containing n8n_list_executions schema), exported as allTools for MCP server tool listing.
