n8n-agents

n8n-agents is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fatemehmollaeimdepended-cloud/mcp. It costs 156 tokens per session (5,649 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of n8n-agents, MIT.

A reference guide for designing AI-agent and language-model nodes in n8n. It covers agents that can use tools, keep conversation memory, follow system instructions, and return structured results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or editing n8n AI agents, language-model chains, tool calls, memory, prompts, or structured JSON output.
Why use it?
It helps decide whether an AI agent is appropriate instead of using a simpler classifier or information extractor. It also explains how the different model, memory, tool, and output components fit together.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

n8n-agents scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

92% identical to n8n-agents — 33 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

n8n Agents

The n8n AI Agent node (@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.agent) is a multi-turn LLM driver with sub-nodes for the model, memory, tools, and an optional output parser. This skill is the deep guide to designing agents and the LangChain family around them. For the high-level "where an agent fits in a workflow" picture, see n8n-workflow-patterns ai_agent_workflow.md — this skill goes one level down into how to build it well.

For node-type formats: in workflow JSON the LangChain nodes use the long @n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.* form (.agent, .lmChatOpenAi, .memoryBufferWindow, .outputParserStructured, .toolWorkflow, .toolHttpRequest, .toolCode). When you call get_node / validate_node, use the short form (nodes-langchain.agent). See n8n-mcp-tools-expert for the format rules.


Pick the right node first

Reaching for an Agent when the task is one-shot classification or extraction is the most common over-build. Decide before you wire anything:

You need to… Use Why
Call tools, reason over multiple turns, or hold memory AI Agent (.agent) The full loop: model + tools + memory + optional parser. Also a fine default when you'd rather standardize.
One-shot text in → text out, no tools Basic LLM Chain (.chainLlm) No agent loop, easier to debug. Still accepts an outputParserStructured sub-node.
Route a natural-language input to one of N branches Text Classifier (.textClassifier) ONE node, N output handles, downstream wires directly into each. Not Agent + Switch.
Pull structured fields out of free text Information Extractor (.informationExtractor) Purpose-built field extraction with a schema.
3-way positive/neutral/negative split Sentiment Analysis (.sentimentAnalysis) Built-in branch outputs.
Condense a long document Summarization Chain (.chainSummarization) Map-reduce summarization built in.
Generate an image / audio / video The provider's native single-call node (OpenAI, Gemini, ElevenLabs…) NEVER wrap media generation in an Agent — see "Binary and the agent boundary".

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
