get_node
Read-onlyIdempotent
Retrieve n8n node information with configurable detail levels and modes for documentation, property search, version comparison, and more.
Instructions
Get node info with progressive detail levels and multiple modes. Detail: minimal (~200 tokens), standard (~1-2K, default), full (~3-8K). Modes: info (default), docs (markdown documentation), search_properties (find properties), versions/compare/breaking/migrations (version info). Use format='docs' for readable documentation, mode='search_properties' with propertyQuery for finding specific fields.
