n8n-code-tool

n8n-code-tool is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fatemehmollaeimdepended-cloud/mcp. It costs 221 tokens per session (4,140 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of n8n-code-tool, MIT.

A guide for writing JavaScript or Python in n8n’s Custom Code Tool, which an AI Agent can call. n8n is a workflow automation platform; this tool is different from its regular Code node.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to parse an agent’s query, define its input schema, write tool code, and return a string result.
Why use it?
It prevents mistakes caused by using the regular Code node’s inputs, outputs, or helpers in an AI-callable tool.

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-code-tool 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 8d 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.

n8n Custom Code Tool

Expert guidance for writing code inside @n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.toolCode — the tool an AI Agent can invoke, not the regular workflow Code node.


⚠️ This is NOT the Code node

The Custom Code Tool looks like a Code node in the editor — same JavaScript editor, similar layout — but it is a completely different node from a different package with a different runtime contract.

Code node Custom Code Tool
Node type n8n-nodes-base.code @n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.toolCode
Package n8n-nodes-base @n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain
Invoked by Previous node (workflow flow) AI Agent (LangChain)
Input $input.all() — item stream query — string or object from LLM
Return [{json: {...}}] (items array) A string
$fromAI() N/A Not available (see Errors)
HTTP helper this.helpers.httpRequest (auth helpers blocked) Not exposed to the tool sandbox
State Per-run execution data No getContext, no $getWorkflowStaticData

If you treat it like a Code node, it fails. The rest of this skill covers the Code Tool's actual contract.


Quick Start

Minimal JavaScript Code Tool

// `query` is whatever the AI sent (a string by default)
return `You asked: ${query}`;

Minimal Python Code Tool

# `_query` is whatever the AI sent (a string by default)
return f"You asked: {_query}"

Essential Rules

  1. Return a string. Numbers are auto-converted. Anything else throws "The response property should be a string, but it is an object".
  2. Input variable is fixed: query (JS), _query (Python). You cannot rename it.
  3. Do NOT use $fromAI() inside the Code Tool sandbox — it throws "No execution data available".
  4. Do NOT use [{json: {...}}] return format — that's for Code nodes. Throws "Wrong output type returned".
  5. Use a descriptive tool name (letters/numbers/underscores, v1.1+). The agent calls the tool by its name.
  6. Write a precise description — the LLM decides whether to invoke the tool based on it.

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.
