get_node
Read-onlyIdempotent
Retrieve n8n node information with adjustable detail levels and operation modes, including documentation, property search, and version comparison.
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.
