Scored across 12 tools
Most tools target clearly distinct resources and actions: nodes, connections, workflows, and executions. create_webhook slightly overlaps with create_node since a webhook is a node type in n8n, but the descriptions clarify the specialized intent.
All tools use a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern such as create_node, update_node, list_workflows, and execute_workflow. Minor plural/singular variations are conventional and readable.
12 tools is well within a reasonable range for an n8n connector, covering key node, connection, workflow, and execution operations without obvious bloat. Each tool appears to earn its place.
Core node and connection operations are present, but the workflow lifecycle is incomplete: there is no create_workflow, update_workflow, or delete_workflow, and no update_connection. These gaps may force agents to work around missing fundamental workflow management operations.
