data-tables

data-tables is a skill for Claude Code from neurawork-git/n8n-autopilot. It costs 80 tokens per session (2,893 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A tool for managing n8n DataTables through n8n's public REST API. DataTables are tables that store structured rows and columns outside an individual workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for creating, seeding, reading, and deleting n8n DataTables and their rows or columns, using the configured n8n URL and API key.
Why use it?
The n8nac command-line tool does not support creating, filling, listing, or deleting these tables, so this handles those administrative tasks.

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 B, and why

data-tables scanned grade B with 2 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.

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

n8n DataTables Admin

n8nac has no commands for DataTable lifecycle (n8nac datatable does not exist as of 2.2.x). The only way to create/seed/drop tables outside the n8n UI is the public REST API. This skill encapsulates the exact endpoints + the curl patterns the PreToolUse hook is configured to allow.

Carve-out scope: Only URLs containing /api/v1/data-tables are allowed past the REST-block. The guard catches curl/wget/urllib/Invoke-RestMethod/requests. against /api/v1 — you cannot dodge it by switching HTTP tool. Anything else (workflows, credentials, executions) still routes through n8nac — do not try to reach those via raw HTTP from here.

Prerequisites

.env must define:

N8N_API_URL=https://your-instance.example.com
N8N_API_KEY=<key from n8n UI → Settings → API>

Source it at the top of every shell invocation:

set -a; source .env; set +a
BASE="${N8N_API_URL%/}/api/v1/data-tables"
AUTH=(-H "X-N8N-API-KEY: $N8N_API_KEY" -H "Accept: application/json")

Polling / loops: to read rows repeatedly, loop the carve-out curl — a curl against /api/v1/data-tables inside a while/for still passes the guard. Do NOT switch to python/urllib/Invoke-RestMethod to poll (the guard now blocks those too), and do NOT read n8nac's internal ~/.n8n-manager/secrets.json for the key — it is undocumented and may change. The key is N8N_API_KEY (n8n UI → Settings → API, or your secret store / Infisical).

API Reference (n8n public API v1)

Routes confirmed against packages/cli/src/public-api/v1/handlers/data-tables/ (master).

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.

It adds 80 tokens to every session and 2,893 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (sends data to an external url, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
