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

n8nac-cheatsheet 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 12d 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.

n8nac Cheat-Sheet

Source-of-truth for "what command do I run for X?" If your task matches a row, run the exact command shown — do not paraphrase, do not invent flags, do not run --help. If no row matches, fall back to n8nac-reference for the full help tree.

All commands below assume npx n8nac … and a workspace bound to an n8n instance (workspace status: bound). Replace <id>, <name>, <path> with concrete values.


Workspace & Setup

User intent Command
First-time setup (connect to existing n8n) npx n8nac env add <name> --base-url "$N8N_API_URL" --workflows-path workflows then printf "%s" "$N8N_API_KEY" | npx n8nac env auth set <name> --api-key-stdin then npx n8nac env use <name>
List supported setup modes npx n8nac setup-modes
Show effective workspace context (active project, instance, sync folder) npx n8nac workspace status --json
Bind instance + set sync folder (new env) npx n8nac env add <name> --base-url <url> --workflows-path workflows
Switch active project on an environment npx n8nac env update <env> --project-name "<name>" or --project-id "<id>"
Set workflow sync folder on an existing env npx n8nac env update <env> --workflows-path <relativePath>

Multi-Environment (multiple n8n instances per repo)

User intent Command
List configured environments npx n8nac env list --json
Show active environment + auth state npx n8nac env status --json
Add a new environment npx n8nac env add <name> --base-url <url> --workflows-path workflows
Switch active environment npx n8nac env use <name> (alias: env pin)
Store API key for an environment printf "%s" "$N8N_API_KEY" | npx n8nac env auth set <name> --api-key-stdin
Update any env property (URL / project / sync folder / name) npx n8nac env update <name-or-id> --base-url <url> (swap flag as needed)
Target one command at a non-active env npx n8nac --env <name> <command> (root flag)

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.
