+description: Use this agent when you need to test n8n-mcp functionality after implementing fixes or new features. This agent should be invoked proactively after code changes to validate that the MCP tools work correctly with real n8n workflows. The agent tests the actual MCP server tools, not just unit tests. Examples:\n\n<example>\nContext: Developer has just fixed a validation bug in the n8n-mcp server\nuser: "I've fixed the validation issue for HTTP Request nodes"\nassistant: "I've completed the fix. Now let me build the project and then test it."\n<builds project>\nassistant: "Project built successfully. Please reload the MCP server in Claude Desktop to apply the changes."\nuser: "Reloaded"\nassistant: "Great! Now let me invoke the n8n-mcp-tester agent to verify the fix works correctly."\n<commentary>\nSince a fix has been implemented and the MCP server reloaded, use the n8n-mcp-tester agent to validate the fix works in real-world usage.\n</commentary>\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: Developer has added a new MCP tool for workflow validation\nuser: "I've implemented the new workflow validation tool"\nassistant: "Implementation complete. Let me build and prepare for testing."\n<builds project>\nassistant: "Build successful. Please reload the MCP server to load the new tool."\nuser: "Done"\nassistant: "Perfect! I'll now use the n8n-mcp-tester agent to test the new workflow validation tool."\n<commentary>\nAfter implementing new MCP functionality and reloading the server, invoke n8n-mcp-tester to verify it works correctly.\n</commentary>\n</example>

+---
+
+You are n8n-mcp-tester, a specialized testing agent for the n8n Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. You validate that MCP tools and functionality work correctly in real-world scenarios after fixes or new features are implemented.
+
+## Your Core Responsibilities
+
+You test the n8n-mcp server by:
+1. Using MCP tools to build, validate, and manipulate n8n workflows
+2. Verifying that recent fixes resolve the reported issues
+3. Testing new functionality works as designed
+4. Reporting clear, actionable results back to the invoking agent
+
+## Testing Methodology
+
+When invoked with a test request, you will:
+
+1. **Understand the Context**: Identify what was fixed or added based on the instructions from the invoking agent
+
+2. **Design Test Scenarios**: Create specific test cases that:
+   - Target the exact functionality that was changed
+   - Include both positive and negative test cases
+   - Test edge cases and boundary conditions
+   - Use realistic n8n workflow configurations
+
+3. **Execute Tests Using MCP Tools**: You have access to all n8n-mcp tools including:
+   - `search_nodes`: Find relevant n8n nodes
+   - `get_node_info`: Get detailed node configuration
+   - `get_node_essentials`: Get simplified node information
+   - `validate_node_config`: Validate node configurations
+   - `n8n_validate_workflow`: Validate complete workflows
+   - `get_node_example`: Get working examples
+   - `search_templates`: Find workflow templates
+   - Additional tools as available in the MCP server
+
+4. **Verify Expected Behavior**: 
+   - Confirm fixes resolve the original issue
+   - Verify new features work as documented
+   - Check for regressions in related functionality
+   - Test error handling and edge cases
+
+5. **Report Results**: Provide clear feedback including:
+   - What was tested (specific tools and scenarios)
+   - Whether the fix/feature works as expected
+   - Any unexpected behaviors or issues discovered
+   - Specific error messages if failures occur
+   - Recommendations for additional testing if needed
+
+## Testing Guidelines
+
+- **Be Thorough**: Test multiple variations and edge cases
+- **Be Specific**: Use exact node types, properties, and configurations mentioned in the fix
+- **Be Realistic**: Create test scenarios that mirror actual n8n usage
+- **Be Clear**: Report results in a structured, easy-to-understand format
+- **Be Efficient**: Focus testing on the changed functionality first
+
+## Example Test Execution
+
+If testing a validation fix for HTTP Request nodes:
+1. Call `tools_documentation` to get a list of available tools and get documentation on `search_nodes` tool.
+2. Search for HTTP Request node using `search_nodes`
+3. Get node configuration with `get_node_info` or `get_node_essentials`
+4. Create test configurations that previously failed
+5. Validate using `validate_node_config` with different profiles
+6. Test in a complete workflow using `n8n_validate_workflow`
+6. Report whether validation now works correctly
+
+## Important Constraints
+
+- You can only test using the MCP tools available in the server
+- You cannot modify code or files - only test existing functionality
+- You must work with the current state of the MCP server (already reloaded)
+- Focus on functional testing, not unit testing
+- Report issues objectively without attempting to fix them
+
+## Response Format
+
+Structure your test results as:
+
+```
+### Test Report: [Feature/Fix Name]
+
+**Test Objective**: [What was being tested]
+
+**Test Scenarios**:
+1. [Scenario 1]: ✅/❌ [Result]
+2. [Scenario 2]: ✅/❌ [Result]
+
+**Findings**:
+- [Key finding 1]
+- [Key finding 2]
+
+**Conclusion**: [Overall assessment - works as expected / issues found]
+
+**Details**: [Any error messages, unexpected behaviors, or additional context]
+```
+
+Remember: Your role is to validate that the n8n-mcp server works correctly in practice, providing confidence that fixes and new features function as intended before deployment.

+## [2.14.7] - 2025-10-02
+
+### Fixed
+- **Issue #248: Settings Validation Error** - Fixed "settings must NOT have additional properties" API errors
+  - Added `callerPolicy` property to `workflowSettingsSchema` to support valid n8n workflow setting
+  - Implemented whitelist-based settings filtering in `cleanWorkflowForUpdate()` to prevent API errors
+  - Filter removes UI-only properties (e.g., `timeSavedPerExecution`) that cause validation failures
+  - Only whitelisted properties are sent to n8n API: `executionOrder`, `timezone`, `saveDataErrorExecution`, `saveDataSuccessExecution`, `saveManualExecutions`, `saveExecutionProgress`, `executionTimeout`, `errorWorkflow`, `callerPolicy`
+  - Resolves workflow update failures caused by workflows fetched from n8n containing non-standard properties
+  - Added 6 comprehensive unit tests covering settings filtering scenarios
+
+- **Issue #249: Misleading AddConnection Error Messages** - Enhanced parameter validation with helpful error messages
+  - Detect common parameter mistakes: using `sourceNodeId`/`targetNodeId` instead of correct `source`/`target`
+  - Improved error messages include:
+    - Identification of wrong parameter names with correction guidance
+    - Examples of correct usage
+    - List of available nodes when source/target not found
+  - Error messages now actionable instead of cryptic (was: "Source node not found: undefined")
+  - Added 8 comprehensive unit tests for parameter validation scenarios
+
+- **P0-R1: Universal Node Type Normalization** - Eliminates 80% of validation errors
+  - Implemented `NodeTypeNormalizer` utility for consistent node type handling
+  - Automatically converts short forms to full forms (e.g., `nodes-base.webhook` → `n8n-nodes-base.webhook`)
+  - Applied normalization across all workflow validation entry points
+  - Updated workflow validator, handlers, and repository for universal normalization
+  - Fixed test expectations to match normalized node type format
+  - Resolves the single largest source of validation errors in production
+
+### Added
+- `NodeTypeNormalizer` utility class for universal node type normalization
+  - `normalizeToFullForm()` - Convert any node type variation to canonical form
+  - `normalizeWithDetails()` - Get normalization result with metadata
+  - `normalizeWorkflowNodeTypes()` - Batch normalize all nodes in a workflow
+- Settings whitelist filtering in `cleanWorkflowForUpdate()` with comprehensive null-safety
+- Enhanced `validateAddConnection()` with proactive parameter validation
+- 14 new unit tests for issues #248 and #249 fixes
+
+### Changed
+- Node repository now uses `NodeTypeNormalizer` for all lookups
+- Workflow validation applies normalization before structure checks
+- Workflow diff engine validates connection parameters before processing
+- Settings filtering applied to all workflow update operations
+
+### Performance
+- No performance impact - normalization adds <1ms overhead per workflow
+- Settings filtering is O(9) - negligible impact
+
+### Test Coverage
+- n8n-validation tests: 73/73 passing (100% coverage)
+- workflow-diff-engine tests: 110/110 passing (89.72% coverage)
+- Total: 183 tests passing
+
+### Impact
+- **Issue #248**: Eliminates ALL settings validation errors for workflows with non-standard properties
+- **Issue #249**: Provides clear, actionable error messages reducing user frustration
+- **P0-R1**: Reduces validation error rate by 80% (addresses 4,800+ weekly errors)
+- Combined impact: Expected overall error rate reduction from 5-10% to <2%
+
+## [2.14.6] - 2025-10-01
+
+### Enhanced
+- **Webhook Error Messages**: Replaced generic "Please try again later or contact support" messages with actionable guidance
+  - Error messages now extract execution ID and workflow ID from failed webhook triggers
+  - Guide users to use `n8n_get_execution({id: executionId, mode: 'preview'})` for efficient debugging
+  - Format: "Workflow {workflowId} execution {executionId} failed. Use n8n_get_execution({id: '{executionId}', mode: 'preview'}) to investigate the error."
+  - When no execution ID available: "Workflow failed to execute. Use n8n_list_executions to find recent executions, then n8n_get_execution with mode='preview' to investigate."
+
+### Added
+- New error formatting functions in `n8n-errors.ts`:
+  - `formatExecutionError()` - Creates execution-specific error messages with debugging guidance
+  - `formatNoExecutionError()` - Provides guidance when execution context unavailable
+- Enhanced `McpToolResponse` type with optional `executionId` and `workflowId` fields
+- Error handling documentation in `n8n-trigger-webhook-workflow` tool docs
+- 30 new comprehensive tests for error message formatting and webhook error handling
+
+### Changed
+- `handleTriggerWebhookWorkflow` now extracts execution context from error responses
+- `getUserFriendlyErrorMessage` returns actual server error messages instead of generic text
+- Tool documentation type enhanced with optional `errorHandling` field
+
+### Fixed
+- Test expectations updated to match new error message format (handlers-workflow-diff.test.ts)
+
+### Benefits
+- **Fast debugging**: Preview mode executes in <50ms (vs seconds for full data)
+- **Efficient**: Uses ~500 tokens (vs 50K+ tokens for full execution data)
+- **Safe**: No timeout or token limit risks
+- **Actionable**: Clear next steps for users to investigate failures
+
+### Impact
+- Eliminates unhelpful "contact support" messages
+- Provides specific, actionable debugging guidance
+- Reduces debugging time by directing users to efficient tools
+- 100% backward compatible - only improves error messages
+
+## [2.14.5] - 2025-09-30
+
+### Added
+- **Intelligent Execution Data Filtering**: Major enhancement to `n8n_get_execution` tool to handle large datasets without exceeding token limits
+  - **Preview Mode**: Shows data structure, counts, and size estimates without actual data (~500 tokens)
+  - **Summary Mode**: Returns 2 sample items per node (safe default, ~2-5K tokens)
+  - **Filtered Mode**: Granular control with node filtering and custom item limits
+  - **Full Mode**: Complete data retrieval (explicit opt-in)
+  - Smart recommendations based on data size (guides optimal retrieval strategy)
+  - Structure-only mode (`itemsLimit: 0`) to see data schema without values
+  - Node-specific filtering with `nodeNames` parameter
+  - Input data inclusion option for debugging transformations
+  - Automatic size estimation and token consumption guidance
+
+### Enhanced
+- `n8n_get_execution` tool with new parameters:
+  - `mode`: 'preview' | 'summary' | 'filtered' | 'full'
+  - `nodeNames`: Filter to specific nodes
+  - `itemsLimit`: Control items per node (0=structure, -1=unlimited, default=2)
+  - `includeInputData`: Include input data for debugging
+  - Legacy `includeData` parameter mapped to new modes for backward compatibility
+- Tool documentation with comprehensive examples and best practices
+- Type system with new interfaces: `ExecutionMode`, `ExecutionPreview`, `ExecutionFilterOptions`, `FilteredExecutionResponse`
+
+### Technical Improvements
+- New `ExecutionProcessor` service with intelligent filtering logic
+- Smart data truncation with metadata (`hasMoreData`, `truncated` flags)
+- Validation for `itemsLimit` (capped at 1000, negative values default to 2)
+- Error message extraction helper for consistent error handling
+- Constants-based thresholds for easy tuning (20/50/100KB limits)
+- 33 comprehensive unit tests with 78% coverage
+- Null-safe data access throughout
+
+### Performance
+- Preview mode: <50ms (no data, just structure)
+- Summary mode: <200ms (2 items per node)
+- Filtered mode: 50-500ms (depends on filters)
+- Size estimation within 10-20% accuracy
+
+### Impact
+- Solves token limit issues when inspecting large workflow executions
+- Enables AI agents to understand execution data without overwhelming responses
+- Reduces token usage by 80-95% for large datasets (50+ items)
+- Maintains 100% backward compatibility with existing integrations
+- Recommended workflow: preview → recommendation → filtered/summary
+
+### Fixed
+- Preview mode bug: Fixed API data fetching logic to ensure preview mode retrieves execution data for structure analysis and recommendation generation
+  - Changed `fetchFullData` condition in handlers-n8n-manager.ts to include preview mode
+  - Preview mode now correctly returns structure, item counts, and size estimates
+  - Recommendations are now accurate and prevent token overflow issues
+
+### Migration Guide
+- **No breaking changes**: Existing `n8n_get_execution` calls work unchanged
+- New recommended workflow:
+  1. Call with `mode: 'preview'` to assess data size
+  2. Follow `recommendation.suggestedMode` from preview
+  3. Use `mode: 'filtered'` with `itemsLimit` for precise control
+- Legacy `includeData: true` now maps to `mode: 'summary'` (safer default)
+
+## [2.14.4] - 2025-09-30
+
+### Added
+- **Workflow Cleanup Operations**: Two new operations for `n8n_update_partial_workflow`
+  - `cleanStaleConnections`: Automatically removes connections referencing non-existent nodes
+  - `replaceConnections`: Replace entire connections object in a single operation
+- **Graceful Error Handling**: Enhanced `removeConnection` with `ignoreErrors` flag
+- **Best-Effort Mode**: New `continueOnError` mode for `WorkflowDiffRequest`
+  - Apply valid operations even if some fail
+  - Returns detailed results with `applied` and `failed` operation indices
+  - Maintains atomic mode as default for safety
+
+### Enhanced
+- Tool documentation for workflow cleanup scenarios
+- Type system with new operation interfaces
+- 15 new tests covering all new features
+
+### Impact
+- Reduces broken workflow fix time from 10-15 minutes to 30 seconds
+- Token efficiency: `cleanStaleConnections` is 1 operation vs 10+ manual operations
+- 100% backwards compatibility maintained
+
+## [2.14.3] - 2025-09-30
+
+### Added
+- Incremental template updates with `npm run fetch:templates:update`
+- Smart filtering for new templates (5-10 min vs 30-40 min full rebuild)

+# Template Update Process - Quick Reference
+
+## Overview
+
+The n8n-mcp project maintains a database of workflow templates from n8n.io. This guide explains how to update the template database incrementally without rebuilding from scratch.
+
+## Current Database State
+
+As of the last update:
+- **2,598 templates** in database
+- Templates from the last 12 months
+- Latest template: September 12, 2025
+
+## Quick Commands
+
+### Incremental Update (Recommended)
+```bash
+# Build if needed
+npm run build
+
+# Fetch only NEW templates (5-10 minutes)
+npm run fetch:templates:update
+```
+
+### Full Rebuild (Rare)
+```bash
+# Rebuild entire database from scratch (30-40 minutes)
+npm run fetch:templates
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Incremental Update Mode (`--update`)
+
+The incremental update is **smart and efficient**:
+
+1. **Loads existing template IDs** from database (~2,598 templates)
+2. **Fetches template list** from n8n.io API (all templates from last 12 months)
+3. **Filters** to find only NEW templates not in database
+4. **Fetches details** for new templates only (saves time and API calls)
+5. **Saves** new templates to database (existing ones untouched)
+6. **Rebuilds FTS5** search index for new templates
+
+### Key Benefits
+
+✅ **Non-destructive**: All existing templates preserved
+✅ **Fast**: Only fetches new templates (5-10 min vs 30-40 min)
+✅ **API friendly**: Reduces load on n8n.io API
+✅ **Safe**: Preserves AI-generated metadata
+✅ **Smart**: Automatically skips duplicates
+
+## Performance Comparison
+
+| Mode | Templates Fetched | Time | Use Case |
+|------|------------------|------|----------|
+| **Update** | Only new (~50-200) | 5-10 min | Regular updates |
+| **Rebuild** | All (~8000+) | 30-40 min | Initial setup or corruption |
+
+## Command Options
+
+### Basic Update
+```bash
+npm run fetch:templates:update
+```
+
+### Full Rebuild
+```bash
+npm run fetch:templates
+```
+
+### With Metadata Generation
+```bash
+# Update templates and generate AI metadata
+npm run fetch:templates -- --update --generate-metadata
+
+# Or just generate metadata for existing templates
+npm run fetch:templates -- --metadata-only
+```
+
+### Help
+```bash
+npm run fetch:templates -- --help
+```
+
+## Update Frequency
+
+Recommended update schedule:
+- **Weekly**: Run incremental update to get latest templates
+- **Monthly**: Review database statistics
+- **As needed**: Rebuild only if database corruption suspected
+
+## Template Filtering
+
+The fetcher automatically filters templates:
+- ✅ **Includes**: Templates from last 12 months
+- ✅ **Includes**: Templates with >10 views
+- ❌ **Excludes**: Templates with ≤10 views (too niche)
+- ❌ **Excludes**: Templates older than 12 months
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Regular Update Workflow
+
+```bash
+# 1. Check current state
+sqlite3 data/nodes.db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM templates"
+
+# 2. Build project (if code changed)
+npm run build
+
+# 3. Run incremental update
+npm run fetch:templates:update
+
+# 4. Verify new templates added
+sqlite3 data/nodes.db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM templates"
+```
+
+### After n8n Dependency Update
+
+When you update n8n dependencies, templates remain compatible:
+```bash
+# 1. Update n8n (from MEMORY_N8N_UPDATE.md)
+npm run update:all
+
+# 2. Fetch new templates incrementally
+npm run fetch:templates:update
+
+# 3. Check how many templates were added
+sqlite3 data/nodes.db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM templates"
+
+# 4. Generate AI metadata for new templates (optional, requires OPENAI_API_KEY)
+npm run fetch:templates -- --metadata-only
+
+# 5. IMPORTANT: Sanitize templates before pushing database
+npm run build
+npm run sanitize:templates
+```
+
+Templates are independent of n8n version - they're just workflow JSON data.
+
+**CRITICAL**: Always run `npm run sanitize:templates` before pushing the database to remove API tokens from template workflows.
+
+**Note**: New templates fetched via `--update` mode will NOT have AI-generated metadata by default. You need to run `--metadata-only` separately to generate metadata for templates that don't have it yet.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No New Templates Found
+
+This is normal! It means:
+- All recent templates are already in your database
+- n8n.io hasn't published many new templates recently
+- Your database is up to date
+
+```bash
+📊 Update mode: 0 new templates to fetch (skipping 2598 existing)
+✅ All templates already have metadata
+```
+
+### API Rate Limiting
+
+If you hit rate limits:
+- The fetcher includes built-in delays (150ms between requests)
+- Wait a few minutes and try again
+- Use `--update` mode instead of full rebuild
+
+### Database Corruption
+
+If you suspect corruption:
+```bash
+# Full rebuild from scratch
+npm run fetch:templates
+
+# This will:
+# - Drop and recreate templates table
+# - Fetch all templates fresh
+# - Rebuild search indexes
+```
+
+## Database Schema
+
+Templates are stored with:
+- Basic info (id, name, description, author, views, created_at)
+- Node types used (JSON array)
+- Complete workflow (gzip compressed, base64 encoded)
+- AI-generated metadata (optional, requires OpenAI API key)
+- FTS5 search index for fast text search
+
+## Metadata Generation
+
+Generate AI metadata for templates:
+```bash
+# Requires OPENAI_API_KEY in .env
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
+
+# Generate for templates without metadata (recommended after incremental update)
+npm run fetch:templates -- --metadata-only
+
+# Generate during template fetch (slower, but automatic)
+npm run fetch:templates:update -- --generate-metadata
+```
+
+**Important**: Incremental updates (`--update`) do NOT generate metadata by default. After running `npm run fetch:templates:update`, you'll have new templates without metadata. Run `--metadata-only` separately to generate metadata for them.
+
+### Check Metadata Coverage
+
+```bash
+# See how many templates have metadata
+sqlite3 data/nodes.db "SELECT
+  COUNT(*) as total,
+  SUM(CASE WHEN metadata_json IS NOT NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as with_metadata,
+  SUM(CASE WHEN metadata_json IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as without_metadata
+FROM templates"
+
+# See recent templates without metadata
+sqlite3 data/nodes.db "SELECT id, name, created_at
+FROM templates
+WHERE metadata_json IS NULL
+ORDER BY created_at DESC
+LIMIT 10"
+```
+
+Metadata includes:
+- Categories
+- Complexity level (simple/medium/complex)
+- Use cases
+- Estimated setup time
+- Required services
+- Key features
+- Target audience
+
+### Metadata Generation Troubleshooting
+
+If metadata generation fails:
+
+1. **Check error file**: Errors are saved to `temp/batch/batch_*_error.jsonl`
+2. **Common issues**:
+   - `"Unsupported value: 'temperature'"` - Model doesn't support custom temperature
+   - `"Invalid request"` - Check OPENAI_API_KEY is valid
+   - Model availability issues
+3. **Model**: Uses `gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07` by default
+4. **Token limit**: 3000 tokens per request for detailed metadata
+
+The system will automatically:
+- Process error files and assign default metadata to failed templates
+- Save error details for debugging
+- Continue processing even if some templates fail
+
+**Example error handling**:
+```bash
+# If you see: "No output file available for batch job"
+# Check: temp/batch/batch_*_error.jsonl for error details
+# The system now automatically processes errors and generates default metadata
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Optional configuration:
+```bash
+# OpenAI for metadata generation
+OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
+OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-4o-mini  # Default model
+OPENAI_BATCH_SIZE=50      # Batch size for metadata generation
+
+# Metadata generation limits
+METADATA_LIMIT=100        # Max templates to process (0 = all)
+```
+
+## Statistics
+
+After update, check stats:
+```bash
+# Template count
+sqlite3 data/nodes.db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM templates"
+
+# Most recent template
+sqlite3 data/nodes.db "SELECT MAX(created_at) FROM templates"
+
+# Templates by view count
+sqlite3 data/nodes.db "SELECT COUNT(*),
+  CASE
+    WHEN views < 50 THEN '<50'
+    WHEN views < 100 THEN '50-100'
+    WHEN views < 500 THEN '100-500'
+    ELSE '500+'
+  END as view_range
+  FROM templates GROUP BY view_range"
+```
+
+## Integration with n8n-mcp
+
+Templates are available through MCP tools:
+- `list_templates`: List all templates
+- `get_template`: Get specific template with workflow
+- `search_templates`: Search by keyword
+- `list_node_templates`: Templates using specific nodes
+- `get_templates_for_task`: Templates for common tasks
+- `search_templates_by_metadata`: Advanced filtering
+
+See `npm run test:templates` for usage examples.
+
+## Time Estimates
+
+Typical incremental update:
+- Loading existing IDs: 1-2 seconds
+- Fetching template list: 2-3 minutes
+- Filtering new templates: instant
+- Fetching details for 100 new templates: ~15 seconds (0.15s each)
+- Saving and indexing: 5-10 seconds
+- **Total: 3-5 minutes**
+
+Full rebuild:
+- Fetching 8000+ templates: 25-30 minutes
+- Saving and indexing: 5-10 minutes
+- **Total: 30-40 minutes**
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use incremental updates** for regular maintenance
+2. **Rebuild only when necessary** (corruption, major changes)
+3. **Generate metadata incrementally** to avoid OpenAI costs
+4. **Monitor template count** to verify updates working
+5. **Keep database backed up** before major operations
+
+## Next Steps
+
+After updating templates:
+1. Test template search: `npm run test:templates`
+2. Verify MCP tools work: Test in Claude Desktop
+3. Check statistics in database
+4. Commit changes if desired (database changes)

 ## Important Rules
 
-- ALWAYS validate before building
-- ALWAYS validate after building
-- NEVER deploy unvalidated workflows
+- ALWAYS check for existing templates before building from scratch
+- LEVERAGE metadata filters to find skill-appropriate templates
+- **ALWAYS ATTRIBUTE TEMPLATES**: When using any template, you MUST share the author's name, username, and link to the original template on n8n.io
+- VALIDATE templates before deployment (they may need updates)
 - USE diff operations for updates (80-90% token savings)
 - STATE validation results clearly
 - FIX all errors before proceeding
+
+## Template Discovery Tips
+
+- **97.5% of templates have metadata** - Use smart filtering!
+- **Filter combinations work best** - Combine complexity + setup time + service
+- **Templates save 70-90% development time** - Always check first
+- **Metadata is AI-generated** - Occasionally imprecise but highly useful
+- **Use `includeMetadata: false` for fast browsing** - Add metadata only when needed

-## [Unreleased]
+## [2.14.4] - 2025-09-30
+
+### Added
+- **Workflow Cleanup Operations**: Two new operations for `n8n_update_partial_workflow` to handle broken workflow recovery
+  - `cleanStaleConnections`: Automatically removes all connections referencing non-existent nodes
+    - Essential after node renames or deletions that leave dangling connection references
+    - Supports `dryRun: true` mode to preview what would be removed
+    - Removes both source and target stale connections
+  - `replaceConnections`: Replace entire connections object in a single operation
+    - Faster than crafting many individual connection operations

+  - New `ignoreErrors` flag: When `true`, operation succeeds even if connection doesn't exist
+  - Perfect for cleanup scenarios where you're not sure if connections exist
+  - Maintains backwards compatibility (defaults to `false` for strict validation)
+
+- **Best-Effort Mode**: New `continueOnError` mode for `WorkflowDiffRequest`
+  - Apply valid operations even if some fail
+  - Returns detailed results with `applied` and `failed` operation indices
+  - Breaks atomic guarantees intentionally for bulk cleanup scenarios
+  - Maintains atomic mode as default for safety
+
+### Enhanced
+- **Tool Documentation**: Updated `n8n_update_partial_workflow` documentation
+  - Added examples for cleanup scenarios
+  - Documented new operation types and modes

+
+## [2.13.2] - 2025-01-24
+
+### Added
+- **Operation and Resource Validation with Intelligent Suggestions**: New similarity services for n8n node configuration validation
+  - `OperationSimilarityService`: Validates operations and suggests similar alternatives using Levenshtein distance and pattern matching
+  - `ResourceSimilarityService`: Validates resources with automatic plural/singular conversion and typo detection
+  - Provides "Did you mean...?" suggestions when invalid operations or resources are used
+  - Example: `operation: "listFiles"` suggests `"search"` for Google Drive nodes
+  - Example: `resource: "files"` suggests singular `"file"` with 95% confidence
+  - Confidence-based suggestions (minimum 30% threshold) with contextual fix messages

+
+## [2.12.1] - 2025-09-22
+
+### Fixed
+- **Error Output Validation**: Enhanced workflow validator to detect incorrect error output configurations
+  - Detects when multiple nodes are incorrectly placed in the same output array (main[0])
+  - Validates that error handlers are properly connected to main[1] (error output) instead of main[0]
+  - Cross-validates onError property ('continueErrorOutput') matches actual connection structure
+  - Provides clear, actionable error messages with JSON examples showing correct configuration
+  - Uses heuristic detection for error handler nodes (names containing "error", "fail", "catch", etc.)
+  - Added comprehensive test coverage with 16+ test cases
+
+### Improved
+- **Validation Messages**: Error messages now include detailed JSON examples showing both incorrect and correct configurations
+- **Pattern Detection**: Fixed `checkWorkflowPatterns` to check main[1] for error outputs instead of non-existent outputs.error

+# Flexible Instance Configuration
+
+## Overview
+
+The Flexible Instance Configuration feature enables n8n-mcp to serve multiple users with different n8n instances dynamically, without requiring separate deployments for each user. This feature is designed for scenarios where n8n-mcp is hosted centrally and needs to connect to different n8n instances based on runtime context.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Core Components
+
+1. **InstanceContext Interface** (`src/types/instance-context.ts`)
+   - Runtime configuration container for instance-specific settings
+   - Optional fields for backward compatibility
+   - Comprehensive validation with security checks
+
+2. **Dual-Mode API Client**
+   - **Singleton Mode**: Uses environment variables (backward compatible)
+   - **Instance Mode**: Uses runtime context for multi-instance support
+   - Automatic fallback between modes
+
+3. **LRU Cache with Security**
+   - SHA-256 hashed cache keys for security
+   - 30-minute TTL with automatic cleanup
+   - Maximum 100 concurrent instances
+   - Secure dispose callbacks without logging sensitive data
+
+4. **Session Management**
+   - HTTP server tracks session context
+   - Each session can have different instance configuration
+   - Automatic cleanup on session end
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+New environment variables for cache configuration:
+
+- `INSTANCE_CACHE_MAX` - Maximum number of cached instances (default: 100, min: 1, max: 10000)
+- `INSTANCE_CACHE_TTL_MINUTES` - Cache TTL in minutes (default: 30, min: 1, max: 1440/24 hours)
+
+Example:
+```bash
+# Increase cache size for high-volume deployments
+export INSTANCE_CACHE_MAX=500
+export INSTANCE_CACHE_TTL_MINUTES=60
+```
+
+### InstanceContext Structure
+
+```typescript
+interface InstanceContext {
+  n8nApiUrl?: string;        // n8n instance URL
+  n8nApiKey?: string;        // API key for authentication
+  n8nApiTimeout?: number;    // Request timeout in ms (default: 30000)
+  n8nApiMaxRetries?: number; // Max retry attempts (default: 3)
+  instanceId?: string;       // Unique instance identifier
+  sessionId?: string;        // Session identifier
+  metadata?: Record<string, any>; // Additional metadata
+}
+```
+
+### Validation Rules
+
+1. **URL Validation**:
+   - Must be valid HTTP/HTTPS URL
+   - No file://, javascript:, or other dangerous protocols
+   - Proper URL format with protocol and host
+
+2. **API Key Validation**:
+   - Non-empty string required when provided
+   - No placeholder values (e.g., "YOUR_API_KEY")
+   - Case-insensitive placeholder detection
+
+3. **Numeric Validation**:
+   - Timeout must be positive number (>0)
+   - Max retries must be non-negative (≥0)
+   - No Infinity or NaN values
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```typescript
+import { getN8nApiClient } from './mcp/handlers-n8n-manager';
+import { InstanceContext } from './types/instance-context';
+
+// Create context for a specific instance
+const context: InstanceContext = {
+  n8nApiUrl: 'https://customer1.n8n.cloud',
+  n8nApiKey: 'customer1-api-key',
+  instanceId: 'customer1'
+};
+
+// Get client for this instance
+const client = getN8nApiClient(context);
+if (client) {
+  // Use client for API operations
+  const workflows = await client.getWorkflows();
+}
+```
+
+### HTTP Headers for Multi-Tenant Support
+
+When using the HTTP server mode, clients can pass instance-specific configuration via HTTP headers:
+
+```bash
+# Example curl request with instance headers
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer your-auth-token" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "X-N8n-Url: https://instance1.n8n.cloud" \
+  -H "X-N8n-Key: instance1-api-key" \
+  -H "X-Instance-Id: instance-1" \
+  -H "X-Session-Id: session-123" \
+  -d '{"method": "n8n_list_workflows", "params": {}, "id": 1}'
+```
+
+#### Supported Headers
+
+- **X-N8n-Url**: The n8n instance URL (e.g., `https://instance.n8n.cloud`)
+- **X-N8n-Key**: The API key for authentication with the n8n instance
+- **X-Instance-Id**: A unique identifier for the instance (optional, for tracking)
+- **X-Session-Id**: A session identifier (optional, for session tracking)
+
+#### Header Extraction Logic
+
+1. If either `X-N8n-Url` or `X-N8n-Key` header is present, an instance context is created
+2. All headers are extracted and passed to the MCP server
+3. The server uses the instance-specific configuration instead of environment variables
+4. If no headers are present, the server falls back to environment variables (backward compatible)
+
+#### Example: JavaScript Client
+
+```javascript
+const headers = {
+  'Authorization': 'Bearer your-auth-token',
+  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
+  'X-N8n-Url': 'https://customer1.n8n.cloud',
+  'X-N8n-Key': 'customer1-api-key',
+  'X-Instance-Id': 'customer-1',
+  'X-Session-Id': 'session-456'
+};
+
+const response = await fetch('http://localhost:3000/mcp', {
+  method: 'POST',
+  headers: headers,
+  body: JSON.stringify({
+    method: 'n8n_list_workflows',
+    params: {},
+    id: 1
+  })
+});
+
+const result = await response.json();
+```
+
+### HTTP Server Integration
+
+```typescript
+// In HTTP request handler
+app.post('/mcp', (req, res) => {
+  const context: InstanceContext = {
+    n8nApiUrl: req.headers['x-n8n-url'],
+    n8nApiKey: req.headers['x-n8n-key'],
+    sessionId: req.sessionID
+  };
+
+  // Context passed to handlers
+  const result = await handleRequest(req.body, context);
+  res.json(result);
+});
+```
+
+### Validation Example
+
+```typescript
+import { validateInstanceContext } from './types/instance-context';
+
+const context: InstanceContext = {
+  n8nApiUrl: 'https://api.n8n.cloud',
+  n8nApiKey: 'valid-key'
+};
+
+const validation = validateInstanceContext(context);
+if (!validation.valid) {
+  console.error('Validation errors:', validation.errors);
+} else {
+  // Context is valid, proceed
+  const client = getN8nApiClient(context);
+}
+```
+
+## Security Features
+
+### 1. Cache Key Hashing
+- All cache keys use SHA-256 hashing with memoization
+- Prevents sensitive data exposure in logs
+- Example: `sha256(url:key:instance)` → 64-char hex string
+- Memoization cache limited to 1000 entries
+
+### 2. Enhanced Input Validation
+- Field-specific error messages with detailed reasons
+- URL protocol restrictions (HTTP/HTTPS only)
+- API key placeholder detection (case-insensitive)
+- Numeric range validation with specific error messages
+- Example: "Invalid n8nApiUrl: ftp://example.com - URL must use HTTP or HTTPS protocol"
+
+### 3. Secure Logging
+- Only first 8 characters of cache keys logged
+- No sensitive data in debug logs
+- URL sanitization (domain only, no paths)
+- Configuration fallback logging for debugging
+
+### 4. Memory Management
+- Configurable LRU cache with automatic eviction
+- TTL-based expiration (configurable, default 30 minutes)
+- Dispose callbacks for cleanup
+- Maximum cache size limits with bounds checking
+
+### 5. Concurrency Protection
+- Mutex-based locking for cache operations
+- Prevents duplicate client creation
+- Simple lock checking with timeout
+- Thread-safe cache operations
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### Cache Strategy
+- **Max Size**: Configurable via `INSTANCE_CACHE_MAX` (default: 100)
+- **TTL**: Configurable via `INSTANCE_CACHE_TTL_MINUTES` (default: 30)
+- **Update on Access**: Age refreshed on each use
+- **Eviction**: Least Recently Used (LRU) policy
+- **Memoization**: Hash creation uses memoization for frequently used keys
+
+### Cache Metrics
+The system tracks comprehensive metrics:
+- Cache hits and misses
+- Hit rate percentage
+- Eviction count
+- Current size vs maximum size
+- Operation timing
+
+Retrieve metrics using:
+```typescript
+import { getInstanceCacheStatistics } from './mcp/handlers-n8n-manager';
+console.log(getInstanceCacheStatistics());
+```
+
+### Benefits
+- **Performance**: ~12ms average response time
+- **Memory Efficient**: Minimal footprint per instance
+- **Thread Safe**: Mutex protection for concurrent operations
+- **Auto Cleanup**: Unused instances automatically evicted
+- **No Memory Leaks**: Proper disposal callbacks
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+The feature maintains 100% backward compatibility:
+
+1. **Environment Variables Still Work**:
+   - If no context provided, falls back to env vars
+   - Existing deployments continue working unchanged
+
+2. **Optional Parameters**:
+   - All context fields are optional
+   - Missing fields use defaults or env vars
+
+3. **API Unchanged**:
+   - Same handler signatures with optional context
+   - No breaking changes to existing code
+
+## Testing
+
+Comprehensive test coverage ensures reliability:
+
+```bash
+# Run all flexible instance tests
+npm test -- tests/unit/flexible-instance-security-advanced.test.ts
+npm test -- tests/unit/mcp/lru-cache-behavior.test.ts
+npm test -- tests/unit/types/instance-context-coverage.test.ts
+npm test -- tests/unit/mcp/handlers-n8n-manager-simple.test.ts
+```
+
+### Test Coverage Areas
+- Input validation edge cases
+- Cache behavior and eviction
+- Security (hashing, sanitization)
+- Session management
+- Memory leak prevention
+- Concurrent access patterns
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### For Existing Deployments
+No changes required - environment variables continue to work.
+
+### For Multi-Instance Support
+
+1. **Update HTTP Server** (if using HTTP mode):
+```typescript
+// Add context extraction from headers
+const context = extractInstanceContext(req);
+```
+
+2. **Pass Context to Handlers**:
+```typescript
+// Old way (still works)
+await handleListWorkflows(params);
+
+// New way (with instance context)
+await handleListWorkflows(params, context);
+```
+
+3. **Configure Clients** to send instance information:
+```typescript
+// Client sends instance info in headers
+headers: {
+  'X-N8n-Url': 'https://instance.n8n.cloud',
+  'X-N8n-Key': 'api-key',
+  'X-Instance-Id': 'customer-123'
+}
+```
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Metrics to Track
+- Cache hit/miss ratio
+- Instance count in cache
+- Average TTL utilization
+- Memory usage per instance
+- API client creation rate
+
+### Debug Logging
+Enable debug logs to monitor cache behavior:
+```bash
+LOG_LEVEL=debug npm start
+```
+
+## Limitations
+
+1. **Maximum Instances**: 100 concurrent instances (configurable)
+2. **TTL**: 30-minute cache lifetime (configurable)
+3. **Memory**: ~1MB per cached instance (estimated)
+4. **Validation**: Strict validation may reject edge cases
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Never Log Sensitive Data**: API keys are never logged
+2. **Hash All Identifiers**: Use SHA-256 for cache keys
+3. **Validate All Input**: Comprehensive validation before use
+4. **Limit Resources**: Cache size and TTL limits
+5. **Clean Up Properly**: Dispose callbacks for resource cleanup
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential improvements for future versions:
+
+1. **Configurable Cache Settings**: Runtime cache size/TTL configuration
+2. **Instance Metrics**: Per-instance usage tracking
+3. **Rate Limiting**: Per-instance rate limits
+4. **Instance Groups**: Logical grouping of instances
+5. **Persistent Cache**: Optional Redis/database backing
+6. **Instance Discovery**: Automatic instance detection
+
+## Support
+
+For issues or questions about flexible instance configuration:
+1. Check validation errors for specific problems
+2. Enable debug logging for detailed diagnostics
+3. Review test files for usage examples
+4. Open an issue on GitHub with details

+# Template Metadata Generation
+
+This document describes the template metadata generation system introduced in n8n-MCP v2.10.0, which uses OpenAI's batch API to automatically analyze and categorize workflow templates.
+
+## Overview
+
+The template metadata system analyzes n8n workflow templates to extract structured information about their purpose, complexity, requirements, and target audience. This enables intelligent template discovery through advanced filtering capabilities.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Components
+
+1. **MetadataGenerator** (`src/templates/metadata-generator.ts`)
+   - Interfaces with OpenAI API
+   - Generates structured metadata using JSON schemas
+   - Provides fallback defaults for error cases
+
+2. **BatchProcessor** (`src/templates/batch-processor.ts`)
+   - Manages OpenAI batch API operations
+   - Handles parallel batch submission
+   - Monitors batch status and retrieves results
+
+3. **Template Repository** (`src/templates/template-repository.ts`)
+   - Stores metadata in SQLite database
+   - Provides advanced search capabilities
+   - Supports JSON extraction queries
+
+## Metadata Schema
+
+Each template's metadata contains:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  categories: string[]           // Max 5 categories (e.g., "automation", "integration")
+  complexity: "simple" | "medium" | "complex"
+  use_cases: string[]           // Max 5 primary use cases
+  estimated_setup_minutes: number // 5-480 minutes
+  required_services: string[]    // External services needed
+  key_features: string[]        // Max 5 main capabilities
+  target_audience: string[]     // Max 3 target user types
+}
+```
+
+## Generation Process
+
+### 1. Initial Setup
+
+```bash
+# Set OpenAI API key in .env
+OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
+```
+
+### 2. Generate Metadata for Existing Templates
+
+```bash
+# Generate metadata only (no template fetching)
+npm run fetch:templates -- --metadata-only
+
+# Generate metadata during update
+npm run fetch:templates -- --mode=update --generate-metadata
+```
+
+### 3. Batch Processing
+
+The system uses OpenAI's batch API for cost-effective processing:
+
+- **50% cost reduction** compared to synchronous API calls
+- **24-hour processing window** for batch completion
+- **Parallel batch submission** for faster processing
+- **Automatic retry** for failed items
+
+### Configuration Options
+
+Environment variables:
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY`: Required for metadata generation
+- `OPENAI_MODEL`: Model to use (default: "gpt-4o-mini")
+- `OPENAI_BATCH_SIZE`: Templates per batch (default: 100, max: 500)
+- `METADATA_LIMIT`: Limit templates to process (for testing)
+
+## How It Works
+
+### 1. Template Analysis
+
+For each template, the generator analyzes:
+- Template name and description
+- Node types and their frequency
+- Workflow structure and connections
+- Overall complexity
+
+### 2. Node Summarization
+
+Nodes are grouped into categories:
+- HTTP/Webhooks
+- Database operations
+- Communication (Slack, Email)
+- AI/ML operations
+- Spreadsheets
+- Service-specific nodes
+
+### 3. Metadata Generation
+
+The AI model receives:
+```
+Template: [name]
+Description: [description]
+Nodes Used (X): [summarized node list]
+Workflow has X nodes with Y connections
+```
+
+And generates structured metadata following the JSON schema.
+
+### 4. Storage and Indexing
+
+Metadata is stored as JSON in SQLite and indexed for fast querying:
+
+```sql
+-- Example query for simple automation templates
+SELECT * FROM templates 
+WHERE json_extract(metadata, '$.complexity') = 'simple'
+AND json_extract(metadata, '$.categories') LIKE '%automation%'
+```
+
+## MCP Tool Integration
+
+### search_templates_by_metadata
+
+Advanced filtering tool with multiple parameters:
+
+```typescript
+search_templates_by_metadata({
+  category: "automation",           // Filter by category
+  complexity: "simple",             // Skill level
+  maxSetupMinutes: 30,             // Time constraint
+  targetAudience: "marketers",     // Role-based
+  requiredService: "slack"         // Service dependency
+})
+```
+
+### list_templates
+
+Enhanced to include metadata:
+
+```typescript
+list_templates({
+  includeMetadata: true,  // Include full metadata
+  limit: 20,
+  offset: 0
+})
+```
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Finding Beginner-Friendly Templates
+
+```typescript
+const templates = await search_templates_by_metadata({
+  complexity: "simple",
+  maxSetupMinutes: 15
+});
+```
+
+### Role-Specific Templates
+
+```typescript
+const marketingTemplates = await search_templates_by_metadata({
+  targetAudience: "marketers",
+  category: "communication"
+});
+```
+
+### Service Integration Templates
+
+```typescript
+const openaiTemplates = await search_templates_by_metadata({
+  requiredService: "openai",
+  complexity: "medium"
+});
+```
+
+## Performance Metrics
+
+- **Coverage**: 97.5% of templates have metadata (2,534/2,598)
+- **Generation Time**: ~2-4 hours for full database (using batch API)
+- **Query Performance**: <100ms for metadata searches
+- **Storage Overhead**: ~2MB additional database size
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Batch Processing Stuck**
+   - Check batch status: The API provides status updates
+   - Batches auto-expire after 24 hours
+   - Monitor using the batch ID in logs
+
+2. **Missing Metadata**
+   - ~2.5% of templates may fail metadata generation
+   - Fallback defaults are provided
+   - Can regenerate with `--metadata-only` flag
+
+3. **API Rate Limits**
+   - Batch API has generous limits (50,000 requests/batch)
+   - Cost is 50% of synchronous API
+   - Processing happens within 24-hour window
+
+### Monitoring Batch Status
+
+```bash
+# Check current batch status (if logged)
+curl https://api.openai.com/v1/batches/[batch-id] \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY"
+```
+
+## Cost Analysis
+
+### Batch API Pricing (gpt-4o-mini)
+
+- Input: $0.075 per 1M tokens (50% of standard)
+- Output: $0.30 per 1M tokens (50% of standard)
+- Average template: ~300 input tokens, ~200 output tokens
+- Total cost for 2,500 templates: ~$0.50
+
+### Comparison with Synchronous API
+
+- Synchronous cost: ~$1.00 for same volume
+- Time saved: Parallel processing vs sequential
+- Reliability: Automatic retries included
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Planned Improvements
+
+1. **Incremental Updates**
+   - Only generate metadata for new templates
+   - Track metadata version for updates
+
+2. **Enhanced Analysis**
+   - Workflow complexity scoring
+   - Dependency graph analysis
+   - Performance impact estimates
+
+3. **User Feedback Loop**
+   - Collect accuracy feedback
+   - Refine categorization over time
+   - Community-driven corrections
+
+4. **Alternative Models**
+   - Support for local LLMs
+   - Claude API integration
+   - Configurable model selection
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Database Schema
+
+```sql
+-- Metadata stored as JSON column
+ALTER TABLE templates ADD COLUMN metadata TEXT;
+
+-- Indexes for common queries
+CREATE INDEX idx_templates_complexity ON templates(
+  json_extract(metadata, '$.complexity')
+);
+CREATE INDEX idx_templates_setup_time ON templates(
+  json_extract(metadata, '$.estimated_setup_minutes')
+);
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+The system provides robust error handling:
+
+1. **API Failures**: Fallback to default metadata
+2. **Parsing Errors**: Logged with template ID
+3. **Batch Failures**: Individual item retry
+4. **Validation Errors**: Zod schema enforcement
+
+## Maintenance
+
+### Regenerating Metadata
+
+```bash
+# Full regeneration (caution: costs ~$0.50)
+npm run fetch:templates -- --mode=rebuild --generate-metadata
+
+# Partial regeneration (templates without metadata)
+npm run fetch:templates -- --metadata-only
+```
+
+### Database Backup
+
+```bash
+# Backup before regeneration
+cp data/nodes.db data/nodes.db.backup
+
+# Restore if needed
+cp data/nodes.db.backup data/nodes.db
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **API Key Management**
+   - Store in `.env` file (gitignored)
+   - Never commit API keys
+   - Use environment variables in CI/CD
+
+2. **Data Privacy**
+   - Only template structure is sent to API
+   - No user data or credentials included
+   - Processing happens in OpenAI's secure environment
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The template metadata system transforms template discovery from simple text search to intelligent, multi-dimensional filtering. By leveraging OpenAI's batch API, we achieve cost-effective, scalable metadata generation that significantly improves the user experience for finding relevant workflow templates.

+- Fetches the workflow from your n8n instance

+
+The auto-fixer can resolve:
+1. **Expression Format Issues**: Missing '=' prefix in n8n expressions (e.g., {{ $json.field }} → ={{ $json.field }})
+2. **TypeVersion Corrections**: Downgrades nodes with unsupported typeVersions to maximum supported
+3. **Error Output Configuration**: Removes conflicting onError settings when error connections are missing
+4. **Node Type Corrections**: Intelligently fixes unknown node types using similarity matching:
+   - Handles deprecated package prefixes (n8n-nodes-base. → nodes-base.)
+   - Corrects capitalization mistakes (HttpRequest → httpRequest)
+   - Suggests correct packages (nodes-base.openai → nodes-langchain.openAi)
+   - Uses multi-factor scoring: name similarity, category match, package match, pattern match
+   - Only auto-fixes suggestions with ≥90% confidence
+   - Leverages NodeSimilarityService with 5-minute caching for performance
+5. **Webhook Path Generation**: Automatically generates UUIDs for webhook nodes missing path configuration:
+   - Generates a unique UUID for webhook path
+   - Sets both 'path' parameter and 'webhookId' field to the same UUID
+   - Ensures webhook nodes become functional with valid endpoints
+   - High confidence fix as UUID generation is deterministic
+

+- **Medium (70-89%)**: Generally safe but review recommended
