Scored across 11 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: lifecycle commands for the n8n installation (install/start/stop/status), workflow operations (list/get/create/activate/deactivate), and execution queries (list/get). No two tools overlap.
All tools follow the n8n_ prefix with a clear action-resource pattern (e.g., n8n_list_workflows, n8n_get_execution). The only minor deviation is n8n_status, which is a noun rather than verb+noun, but it still fits the overall scheme.
Eleven tools provide a well-scoped set covering server lifecycle, workflow management, and execution inspection without redundancy. This is within the ideal range.
The set lacks update and delete operations for workflows, which are part of typical workflow lifecycle management. While creation, activation, and deactivation are covered, users cannot modify or remove existing workflows, leaving a notable gap.
