C2/5.0

Scored across 10 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes targeting different aspects of n8n workflow management (e.g., create_workflow vs. list_workflows, add_node vs. edit_node vs. delete_node). However, add_ai_connections and add_connection could potentially be confused without descriptions, as their relationship is unclear—they might overlap in handling connections.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case throughout (e.g., add_connection, create_workflow, get_workflow_details). There are no deviations in naming conventions, making the set predictable and readable.

Tool Count5/5

With 10 tools, the count is well-scoped for a workflow builder server, covering core operations like creating, listing, and managing workflows and nodes. Each tool appears to earn its place without being excessive or insufficient for the domain.

Completeness3/5

The tools cover basic CRUD operations for workflows and nodes (create, list, get, edit, delete), but there are notable gaps. For example, there's no update_workflow or delete_workflow tool, and the absence of descriptions makes it hard to assess if AI connections and general connections are fully covered, potentially leaving dead ends in workflow management.
