Inspect n8n workflow
n8n_introspectRead-onlyIdempotent
Inspect a workflow and its saved executions with 23 deterministic local rules, returning findings and coverage without executing code.
Instructions
Inspect one workflow and saved executions with 23 deterministic local rules. profile sets paired defaults: quick uses 24h/20 and caps maxExecutions at 25; deep uses 168h/50 and reads at most four redacted details. includeSanitizedLabels=false keeps labels opaque; true opts into bounded sanitized labels. Use n8n_audit_generate for instance security or n8n_workflows_get for raw structure. Requires workflow/execution read permission; never executes or calls AI; returns findings and coverage.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| profile | No | Use quick for metadata triage or deep for up to four redacted execution details. | quick |
| workflowId | Yes | Stable ID of the workflow to inspect without executing it. | |
| lookbackHours | No | History window in hours; defaults to 24 for quick and 168 for deep. | |
| maxExecutions | No | Maximum saved executions to inspect; defaults to 20 for quick and 50 for deep, with quick capped at 25. | |
| includeSanitizedLabels | No | Include bounded pattern-sanitized workflow/node labels instead of opaque identifiers only (default false). |
