What it does

Nodetool is an agent skill from nodetool-ai/nodetool. Use the NodeTool MCP server to build, validate, run, and debug visual AI workflows, and to work with assets, collections, and jobs. Use when the user mentions NodeTool or asks for a workflow graph, a node, or a media generation run on their NodeTool server.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Agent-first Creative Workspace. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user mentions NodeTool
  • Asks for a workflow graph
  • A media generation run on their NodeTool server

Example prompts

  • “/nodetool”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Call nodetool.searchTools("query") inside an action to find a capability.
  2. Read the nodetool://capabilities resource for the tool list and
  3. Search the node registry (search_nodes, get_node_info) before naming a

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 58765d3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Nodetool loads about 581 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 310 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~581

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use the NodeTool MCP server to build, validate, run, and debug visual AI workflows, and to work with assets, collections, and jobs. Use when the user mentions NodeTool or asks for a workflow graph, a node, or a media generation run on their NodeTool server.

NodeTool

The NodeTool MCP server exposes one action tool, execute_code, plus a few direct tools. Write JavaScript for execute_code. The code runs in a sandbox and reaches NodeTool through the nodetool.* object model.

Find what exists first

  1. Call nodetool.searchTools("query") inside an action to find a capability.
  2. Read the nodetool://capabilities resource for the tool list and nodetool://sandbox for the guest surface.
  3. Search the node registry (search_nodes, get_node_info) before naming a node type. Never guess a type or a property name.

Build and run a workflow

  1. create_workflow with the graph, or get_example_workflow to start from a shipped example.
  2. validate_workflow after every edit. It is a static check and returns in under a second. It catches unknown node types, missing required properties, unselected models, and dangling or mistyped edges.
  3. run_workflow for a short run, or start_background_job for a long one. Poll get_job until it settles. The settled job carries outputs. get_job_logs carries the log tail and any node error. Inspect that same job. Do not start another run to read its result.

Debug a failed run

debug_workflow starts a new execution. It does not inspect the job from step 3. Call it only when a second run is intended and the user has authorized it, because a rerun can repeat charges and side effects. After an ordinary run, use get_job and get_job_logs first.

Rules

  • Validate before running. A run can cost money.
  • Start one execution per request. Never run a workflow and then debug-run it to read the result.
  • Ask before deleting a workflow, asset, collection, or version.
  • Report the job status and the real error text when a run fails. Do not retry blindly.
  • Media generations are tracked. Pass background: true to get a generation_id early, then use await_generation.
  • Resource ids may be shortened to 12 characters in results. Pass back the form you were given.
