Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
n8n_workflows_list

List workflows visible to the configured n8n Public API key.

n8n_workflows_getB

Get one workflow by its stable ID.

n8n_workflows_create

Create a workflow from validated nodes, connections, and settings.

n8n_workflows_update

Update selected workflow fields while preserving omitted writable fields.

n8n_update_nodeA

Update one validated node property while preserving the rest of the workflow. The Public API has no atomic compare-and-swap, so explicit non-atomic risk acknowledgement is required.

n8n_workflows_deleteA

Permanently delete one workflow after an exact confirmation.

n8n_workflows_activate

Activate one workflow after exact confirmation.

n8n_workflows_deactivate

Deactivate one workflow after exact confirmation.

n8n_workflows_get_version

Get one retained historical workflow version.

n8n_workflows_get_tagsA

List the tags assigned to one workflow.

n8n_workflows_update_tagsB

Replace the tags assigned to one workflow.

n8n_workflows_archiveA

Archive one workflow after exact confirmation.

n8n_workflows_unarchive

Restore one workflow after exact confirmation.

n8n_workflows_diffA

Compare nodes and connections between two retained workflow snapshots without returning raw values.

n8n_executions_listB

List execution metadata. Raw workflow payload values are never returned.

n8n_executions_get

Get metadata for one execution with a value-free data-presence summary.

n8n_executions_deleteA

Permanently delete a saved execution after exact confirmation.

n8n_executions_retry

Retry one eligible saved execution after exact confirmation.

n8n_executions_stopA

Stop one running execution after exact confirmation.

n8n_credentials_create

Create a credential while keeping credential values out of output and logs.

n8n_credentials_deleteA

Permanently delete one stored credential after exact confirmation.

n8n_credentials_schemaB

Get the supported public schema for one credential type.

n8n_credentials_list

List credential metadata through the public endpoint verified in n8n Community 2.30.5 and 2.30.7. Credential values are never returned.

n8n_credentials_get

Get public metadata for one credential without retrieving secret values.

n8n_credentials_updateC

Update credential metadata or values while keeping secret material out of output and logs.

n8n_credentials_test

Test one stored credential. This may contact the credential's external service.

n8n_credentials_usage

Scan one bounded workflow page for exact references to one credential ID.

n8n_tags_list

List workflow tags.

n8n_tags_get

Get one workflow tag by ID.

n8n_tags_create

Create a workflow tag.

n8n_tags_update

Rename one workflow tag.

n8n_tags_delete

Permanently delete one workflow tag after exact confirmation.

n8n_users_list

List users visible through the n8n Public API.

n8n_users_get

Get one user by stable ID or exact email address.

n8n_users_createA

Invite one non-owner user after exact email confirmation.

n8n_users_delete

Delete one API-eligible user after exact confirmation. Ownership handling follows n8n's supported Public API behavior.

n8n_healthA

Perform a bounded same-origin health check against the configured n8n instance.

n8n_insights_summaryB

Get the official n8n insights summary when the Community instance supports it.

n8n_audit_generateA

Request n8n's instance security audit report after explicit unsafe-mode confirmation.

n8n_search_workflows

Search one bounded workflow page locally by name, node type, or tag name.

n8n_get_node_docs

Return a bounded offline reference for an allowlisted core n8n node.

n8n_list_node_types

List node types observed in bounded workflow pages. This is not a complete installed-node catalog.

n8n_introspectA

Inspect one workflow and a bounded sample of its saved executions; return deterministic findings and factual metrics; do not execute the workflow or replace the instance security audit.

n8n_community_packages_list

List installed community-package metadata. Package data is treated as untrusted and no mutation operation is exposed.
