Install in OpenClaw
/install n8n-automation
Description
Manage n8n workflows from OpenClaw via the n8n REST API. Use when the user asks about n8n workflows, automations, executions, or wants to trigger, list, create, activate, or debug n8n workflows. Supports both self-hosted n8n and n8n Cloud instances.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable giving the agent an n8n API key that can change workflows. Prefer a least-privilege key, test against a non-production n8n instance first, and require explicit confirmation before activate, deactivate, or delete actions.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: n8n-automation
Version: 0.1.0
The skill bundle is designed to manage n8n workflows via its REST API, which is clearly stated in SKILL.md. All provided `curl` commands interact with the user-configured n8n API endpoint using an API key, which is necessary for its functionality. There is no evidence of data exfiltration to unauthorized endpoints, malicious execution (e.g., `curl|bash` of unknown remote payloads), persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts against the agent to perform actions outside the stated purpose. The `references/api-endpoints.md` further clarifies the API's scope, including that credential secrets are not exposed via the API, reinforcing the benign nature of the skill's intended use.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Managing n8n workflows through the n8n REST API is coherent with the stated purpose, including reads and mutations, but the capability can affect production automations.
Instruction Scope
The supplied scan context indicates examples for activate, deactivate, and delete operations without explicit confirmation, backup, dry-run, or production-impact warnings.
Install Mechanism
No install-time script, hidden payload, or unrelated execution path is indicated; the described behavior is command guidance using a user-configured n8n endpoint and API key.
Credentials
Using an n8n API key is expected for this integration, but the key's permissions and target environment determine whether the skill can disrupt business workflows.
Persistence & Privilege
No persistence mechanism, background worker, local credential scraping, or privilege escalation is indicated by the available evidence.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install n8n-automation - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/n8n-automation - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
