Description
Connect your OpenClaw agent to n8n to create, trigger, manage, and monitor workflows, enabling natural language automation and execution control without the UI.
Usage Guidance
What to consider before installing:
- Metadata mismatch: SKILL.md requires N8N_API_URL and N8N_API_KEY but the registry lists no required environment variables — assume you must provide those secrets for the skill to work. Confirm how your agent/platform will store them (encrypted secrets, not plain TOOLS.md) before enabling the skill.
- Review templates: The included workflow templates reference additional env vars (TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID, GOOGLE_SHEETS_WEBHOOK, MONITOR_URL, LAST_BODY_LENGTH). These can cause the agent/n8n to send data to third-party webhooks or messaging services. Only populate these with endpoints/accounts you control and intend to expose to the automation.
- Principle of least privilege: Use an n8n API key with minimal permissions and, if possible, run n8n in a private network or behind authentication so webhooks and the API are not publicly exposed.
- Data exposure risk: The agent will send whatever data you give it to n8n workflows and any downstream webhooks. Do not route sensitive secrets or PII through these workflows unless you trust the endpoints and have appropriate logging/retention controls.
- Operational safety: If you plan to allow autonomous invocation, consider limiting the agent's access to N8N_API_KEY (for example, enable read-only or scoped tokens where supported) or require human approval before the agent creates/activates workflows that call external endpoints.
- Source provenance: The skill has no listed homepage and source is unknown. If you need stronger assurance, request the author/source code or prefer a skill published by a known/verified author.
If you still want to use it: only provide the minimum required credentials, inspect and adapt the templates to your environment, and avoid using public/untrusted webhook URLs.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: n8n-openclaw-bridge
Version: 1.0.0
The 'n8n-openclaw-bridge' skill is a legitimate integration tool designed to allow OpenClaw agents to manage and trigger n8n workflows. It provides clear instructions in SKILL.md for using the n8n API via curl and includes several functional n8n workflow templates (e.g., content-publisher.json, lead-notification.json). The skill operates as described, requiring standard API credentials, and shows no signs of malicious behavior, data exfiltration, or prompt injection attacks.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill claims to manage and trigger n8n workflows — that purpose aligns with the provided curl examples and workflow templates. However, the registry metadata lists no required environment variables or credentials even though the SKILL.md explicitly requires N8N_API_URL and N8N_API_KEY (and templates reference additional envs). This mismatch is an incoherence between claimed requirements and actual usage.
Instruction Scope
The runtime instructions instruct the agent to run curl commands against the n8n API and to create and trigger webhooks. The templates include nodes that POST to arbitrary webhook URLs (e.g., GOOGLE_SHEETS_WEBHOOK) and send messages via Telegram using TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID. The SKILL.md and templates reference environment variables beyond those declared (N8N_API_URL, N8N_API_KEY, TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID, GOOGLE_SHEETS_WEBHOOK, MONITOR_URL, LAST_BODY_LENGTH). Those instructions can cause the agent to transmit user data off-host to external endpoints if those endpoints are configured, which is within the stated purpose but broad and potentially risky if misused.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec or code files to run at install time, so it does not write or execute additional packages on disk. That lowers install-time risk.
Credentials
The skill requires at least N8N_API_URL and N8N_API_KEY to function, but the registry lists no required env vars or primary credential. Templates also reference other env variables (TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID, GOOGLE_SHEETS_WEBHOOK, MONITOR_URL, LAST_BODY_LENGTH). Requiring unspecified secrets or webhook URLs is disproportionate to the metadata and increases the chance of accidental over-privileging or leaking sensitive data to external services.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true and is user-invocable with normal autonomous invocation settings. It does not ask to modify other skills or system-wide agent settings. No elevated persistence or platform-wide privilege is requested.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install n8n-openclaw-bridge - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/n8n-openclaw-bridge - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
