perf: optimize workflow tool responses for token efficiency (v2.29.0) (#479)
* perf: optimize workflow tool responses for token efficiency (v2.29.0)
Reduce response sizes by 75-90% for 4 workflow management tools:
- n8n_update_partial_workflow: Returns {id, name, active, operationsApplied}
- n8n_create_workflow: Returns {id, name, active, nodeCount}
- n8n_update_full_workflow: Returns {id, name, active, nodeCount}
- n8n_delete_workflow: Returns {id, name, deleted: true}
AI agents can use n8n_get_workflow with mode 'structure' if they need
to verify the current workflow state after operations.

* fix: update tests and add nodeCount to partial update response
- Fix handleCreateWorkflow test to expect minimal response
- Fix handleDeleteWorkflow test to expect minimal response
- Add nodeCount to n8n_update_partial_workflow response for consistency
- Update documentation and CHANGELOG

* fix: update handlers-workflow-diff tests for minimal response
Update 3 more tests that expected full workflow in response:
- should apply diff operations successfully
- should activate workflow after successful update
- should deactivate workflow after successful update

* fix: update integration tests to use minimal response format
Integration tests now verify minimal response format and use
client.getWorkflow() to fetch actual workflow state for verification.

Integration tests now verify minimal response and use client.getWorkflow()
to fetch actual workflow state for detailed verification.

### Performance
|
||||
|
||||
**Token-Efficient Workflow Tool Responses (#479)**
|
||||
|
||||
Optimized 4 workflow management tools to return minimal responses instead of full workflow objects, reducing token usage by 75-90%:
|
||||
|
||||
- **n8n_update_partial_workflow**: Returns `{id, name, active, nodeCount, operationsApplied}` instead of full workflow
|
||||
- **n8n_create_workflow**: Returns `{id, name, active, nodeCount}` instead of full workflow
|
||||
- **n8n_update_full_workflow**: Returns `{id, name, active, nodeCount}` instead of full workflow
|
||||
- **n8n_delete_workflow**: Returns `{id, name, deleted: true}` instead of full deleted workflow
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact**:
|
||||
- ~75-90% reduction in response token usage per operation
|
||||
- Messages now guide AI agents to use `n8n_get_workflow` with mode 'structure' if verification needed
|
||||
- No functional changes - full workflow data still available via `n8n_get_workflow`
|
||||
|
||||
**Files Modified**:
|
||||
- `src/mcp/handlers-workflow-diff.ts` - Optimized partial update response
|
||||
- `src/mcp/handlers-n8n-manager.ts` - Optimized create, full update, and delete responses
|
||||
- `src/mcp/tool-docs/workflow_management/*.ts` - Updated documentation
