At a glance
Manage n8n workflows and automations via API. An agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills.
- Works in 2 steps: API key must be stored in environment → Verify connection
- Working with n8n workflows
- SKILL.md covers Setup, Quick Reference, Python API and Common Tasks, plus 2 more sections
- Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python3; needs N8N_API_KEY
What it does
N8n is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Manage n8n workflows and automations via API. Use when working with n8n workflows, executions, or automation tasks - listing workflows, activating/deactivating, checking execution status, manually triggering workflows, or debugging automation issues.
Its SKILL.md is about 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/api.md` and `scripts/n8n_api.py`).
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Workflow automation. It works with n8n. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.
When your agent uses it
- Working with n8n workflows
- Automation tasks - listing workflows
- Activating/deactivating
- Checking execution status
Example prompts
- “/n8n”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in N8N_API_KEY
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- API key must be stored in environment
- Verify connection
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
N8N_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
N8n loads about 770 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 162 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 162 words (~770 tokens).
“Interact with n8n automation platform via REST API.”
