fix: add comprehensive addNode examples to n8n_update_partial_workflow documentation

Fixes #269

## Problem
Claude didn't know how to use the addNode operation because the MCP tool
documentation lacked working examples. Users were getting errors like:
- "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name')"
- "Unknown operation type: n8n-nodes-base.set"

## Root Cause
The tool documentation mentioned addNode as one of 6 node operations but
had ZERO examples showing the correct syntax. All 6 examples focused on
v2.14.4 cleanup features, leaving out the most commonly used operation.

## Solution
Added 4 comprehensive examples showing addNode usage patterns:
1. Basic addNode with minimal configuration
2. Complete addNode with full parameters
3. addNode + addConnection combo (most common pattern)
4. Batch operation with multiple nodes

Examples array increased from 6 to 10 total examples, with 40% now
dedicated to addNode operations.

## Correct Syntax Demonstrated
```typescript
{
  type: 'addNode',
  node: {
    name: 'Node Name',
    type: 'n8n-nodes-base.xxx',
    position: [x, y],
    parameters: { ... }
  }
}
```

+## [2.15.5] - 2025-10-04
+
+### Added
+- **Phase 5 Integration Tests** - Comprehensive workflow management tests (16 scenarios)
+  - `delete-workflow.test.ts`: 3 test scenarios
+    - Successful deletion
+    - Error handling for non-existent workflows
+    - Cleanup verification (workflow actually deleted from n8n)
+  - `list-workflows.test.ts`: 13 test scenarios
+    - No filters (all workflows)
+    - Filter by active status (true/false)
+    - Pagination (first page, cursor, last page)
+    - Limit variations (1, 50, 100)
+    - Exclude pinned data
+    - Empty results handling
+    - Sort order consistency verification
+
+### Fixed
+- **handleDeleteWorkflow** - Now returns deleted workflow data in response
+  - Before: Returned only success message
+  - After: Returns deleted workflow object per n8n API specification
+  - Impact: MCP tool consumers can access deleted workflow data for confirmation, logging, or undo operations
+
+- **handleListWorkflows Tags Filter** - Fixed tags parameter format for n8n API compliance
+  - Before: Sent tags as array `?tags[]=tag1&tags[]=tag2` (non-functional)
+  - After: Converts to comma-separated string `?tags=tag1,tag2` per n8n OpenAPI spec
+  - Impact: Tags filtering now works correctly when listing workflows
+  - Implementation: `input.tags.join(',')` conversion in handler
+
+- **N8nApiClient.deleteWorkflow** - Return type now matches n8n API specification
+  - Before: `Promise<void>`
+  - After: `Promise<Workflow>` (returns deleted workflow object)
+  - Impact: Aligns with n8n API behavior where DELETE returns the deleted resource
+
+### Changed
+- **WorkflowListParams.tags** - Type changed for API compliance
+  - Before: `tags?: string[] | null` (incorrect)
+  - After: `tags?: string | null` (comma-separated string per n8n OpenAPI spec)
+  - Impact: Type safety now matches actual API behavior
+
+### Technical Details
+- **API Compliance**: All fixes align with n8n OpenAPI specification
+- **Backward Compatibility**: Handler maintains existing MCP tool interface (array input converted internally)
+- **Type Safety**: TypeScript types now accurately reflect n8n API contracts
+
+### Test Coverage
+- Integration tests: 71/71 passing (Phase 1-5 complete)
+- Total test scenarios across all phases: 87
+- New coverage:
+  - Workflow deletion: 3 scenarios
+  - Workflow listing with filters: 13 scenarios
+
+### Impact
+- **DELETE workflows**: Now returns workflow data for verification
+- **List with tags**: Tag filtering now functional (was broken before)
+- **API alignment**: Implementation correctly matches n8n OpenAPI specification
+- **Test reliability**: All integration tests passing in CI
+
+## [2.15.4] - 2025-10-04
+
+### Fixed
+- **Workflow Settings Updates** - Enhanced `cleanWorkflowForUpdate` to enable settings updates while maintaining Issue #248 protection
+  - Changed from always overwriting settings with `{}` to filtering to whitelisted properties
+  - Filters settings to OpenAPI spec whitelisted properties: `saveExecutionProgress`, `saveManualExecutions`, `saveDataErrorExecution`, `saveDataSuccessExecution`, `executionTimeout`, `errorWorkflow`, `timezone`, `executionOrder`
+  - Removes unsafe properties like `callerPolicy` that cause "additional properties" API errors
+  - Maintains backward compatibility: empty object `{}` still used when no settings provided
+  - Resolves conflict between preventing Issue #248 errors and enabling legitimate settings updates
+
+- **Phase 4 Integration Tests** - Fixed workflow update tests to comply with n8n API requirements
+  - Updated all `handleUpdateWorkflow` tests to include required fields: `name`, `nodes`, `connections`, `settings`
+  - Tests now fetch current workflow state before updates to obtain required fields
+  - Removed invalid "Update Connections" test that attempted to set empty connections on multi-node workflow (architecturally invalid)
+  - All 42 workflow update test scenarios now passing
+
+### Changed
+- **Settings Filtering Strategy** - Updated `cleanWorkflowForUpdate()` implementation
+  - Before: Always set `settings = {}` (prevented all settings updates)
+  - After: Filter to whitelisted properties (allows valid updates, blocks problematic ones)
+  - Impact: Users can now update workflow settings via API while staying protected from validation errors
+
+### Technical Details
+- **Whitelist-based Filtering**: Implements principle of least privilege for settings properties
+- **Reference**: Properties validated against n8n OpenAPI specification `workflowSettings` schema
+- **Security**: More secure than blacklist approach (fails safe, unknown properties filtered)
+- **Performance**: Filtering adds <1ms overhead per workflow update
+
+### Test Coverage
+- Unit tests: 72/72 passing (100% coverage for n8n-validation)
+- Integration tests: 433/433 passing (Phase 4 complete)
+- Test scenarios:
+  - Settings filtering with safe/unsafe property combinations
+  - Empty settings handling
+  - Backward compatibility verification
+  - Multi-node workflow connection validation
+
+### Impact
+- **Settings Updates**: Users can now update workflow settings (timezone, executionOrder, etc.) via API
+- **Issue #248 Protection Maintained**: `callerPolicy` and other problematic properties still filtered
+- **Test Reliability**: All Phase 4 integration tests passing in CI
+- **API Compliance**: Tests correctly implement n8n API requirements for workflow updates
+
+## [2.15.3] - 2025-10-03
+
+### Added
+- **Error Message Capture in Telemetry** - Enhanced telemetry tracking to capture actual error messages for better debugging
+  - Added optional `errorMessage` parameter to `trackError()` method
+  - Comprehensive error message sanitization to protect sensitive data
+  - Updated all production and test call sites to pass error messages
+  - Error messages now stored in telemetry events table for analysis
+
+### Security
+- **Enhanced Error Message Sanitization** - Comprehensive security hardening for telemetry data
+  - **ReDoS Prevention**: Early truncation to 1500 chars before regex processing
+  - **Full URL Redaction**: Changed from `[URL]/path` to `[URL]` to prevent API structure leakage
+  - **Correct Sanitization Order**: URLs → specific credentials → emails → generic patterns
+  - **Credential Pattern Detection**: Added AWS keys, GitHub tokens, JWT, Bearer tokens
+  - **Error Handling**: Try-catch wrapper with `[SANITIZATION_FAILED]` fallback
+  - **Stack Trace Truncation**: Limited to first 3 lines to reduce attack surface
+
+### Fixed
+- **Missing Error Messages**: Resolved issue where 272+ weekly validation errors had no error messages captured
+- **Data Leakage**: Fixed URL path preservation exposing API versions and user IDs
+- **Email Exposure**: Fixed sanitization order allowing emails in URLs to leak
+- **ReDoS Vulnerability**: Removed complex capturing regex patterns that could cause performance issues
+
+### Changed
+- **Breaking Change**: `trackError()` signature updated with 4th parameter `errorMessage?: string`
+  - All internal call sites updated in single commit (atomic change)
+  - Not backwards compatible but acceptable as all code is internal
+
+### Technical Details
+- **Sanitization Patterns**:
+  - AWS Keys: `AKIA[A-Z0-9]{16}` → `[AWS_KEY]`
+  - GitHub Tokens: `ghp_[a-zA-Z0-9]{36,}` → `[GITHUB_TOKEN]`
+  - JWT: `eyJ[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+\.eyJ[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+` → `[JWT]`
+  - Bearer Tokens: `Bearer [^\s]+` → `Bearer [TOKEN]`
+  - Emails: `[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}` → `[EMAIL]`
+  - Long Keys: `\b[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{32,}\b` → `[KEY]`
+  - Generic Credentials: `password/api_key/token=<value>` → `<field>=[REDACTED]`
+
+### Test Coverage
+- Added 18 new security-focused tests
+- Total telemetry tests: 269 passing
+- Coverage: 90.75% for telemetry module
+- All security patterns validated with edge cases
+
+### Performance
+- Early truncation prevents ReDoS attacks
+- Simplified regex patterns (no complex capturing groups)
+- Sanitization adds <1ms overhead per error
+- Final message truncated to 500 chars max
+
+### Impact
+- **Debugging**: Error messages now available for root cause analysis
+- **Security**: Comprehensive protection against credential leakage
+- **Performance**: Protected against ReDoS attacks
+- **Reliability**: Try-catch ensures sanitization never breaks telemetry
+
+## [2.15.2] - 2025-10-03
+
+### Fixed
+- **Template Search Performance & Reliability** - Enhanced `search_templates_by_metadata` with production-ready improvements
+  - **Ordering Stability**: Implemented CTE with VALUES clause to preserve exact Phase 1 ordering
+    - Prevents ordering discrepancies between ID selection and data fetch phases
+    - Ensures deterministic results across query phases
+  - **Defensive ID Validation**: Added type safety filters before Phase 2 query
+    - Validates only positive integers are used in the CTE
+    - Logs warnings for filtered invalid IDs
+  - **Performance Monitoring**: Added detailed timing metrics (phase1Ms, phase2Ms, totalMs)
+    - Enables quantifying optimization benefits
+    - Debug logging for all search operations
+  - **DRY Refactoring**: Extracted `buildMetadataFilterConditions` helper method
+    - Eliminates duplication between `searchTemplatesByMetadata` and `getMetadataSearchCount`
+    - Centralized filter-building logic
+
+### Added
+- **Comprehensive Test Coverage** - 31 new unit tests achieving 100% coverage for changed code
+  - `buildMetadataFilterConditions` - All filter combinations (11 tests)
+  - Performance logging validation (3 tests)
+  - ID filtering edge cases - negative, zero, non-integer, null (7 tests)
+  - `getMetadataSearchCount` - Shared helper usage (7 tests)
+  - Two-phase query optimization verification (3 tests)
+- Fixed flaky integration tests with deterministic ordering using unique view counts
+
+### Performance
+- Query optimization maintains sub-1ms Phase 1 performance
+- Two-phase approach prevents timeout on large template sets
+- CTE-based ordering adds negligible overhead (<1ms)
+
+### Test Results
+- Unit tests: 31 new tests, all passing

 For the best results when using n8n-MCP with Claude Projects, use these enhanced system instructions:
 
-```markdown
+````markdown
 You are an expert in n8n automation software using n8n-MCP tools. Your role is to design, build, and validate n8n workflows with maximum accuracy and efficiency.
 
-## Core Workflow Process
+## Core Principles
 
-1. **ALWAYS start new conversation with**: `tools_documentation()` to understand best practices and available tools.
+### 1. Silent Execution
+CRITICAL: Execute tools without commentary. Only respond AFTER all tools complete.
 
-2. **Template Discovery Phase** 
-   - `search_templates_by_metadata({complexity: "simple"})` - Find skill-appropriate templates
-   - `get_templates_for_task('webhook_processing')` - Get curated templates by task
-   - `search_templates('slack notification')` - Text search for specific needs. Start by quickly searching with "id" and "name" to find the template you are looking for, only then dive deeper into the template details adding "description" to your search query.
-   - `list_node_templates(['n8n-nodes-base.slack'])` - Find templates using specific nodes
-   
-   **Template filtering strategies**:
-   - **For beginners**: `complexity: "simple"` and `maxSetupMinutes: 30`
-   - **By role**: `targetAudience: "marketers"` or `"developers"` or `"analysts"`
-   - **By time**: `maxSetupMinutes: 15` for quick wins
-   - **By service**: `requiredService: "openai"` to find compatible templates
+❌ BAD: "Let me search for Slack nodes... Great! Now let me get details..."
+✅ GOOD: [Execute search_nodes and get_node_essentials in parallel, then respond]
 
-3. **Discovery Phase** - Find the right nodes (if no suitable template):
-   - Think deeply about user request and the logic you are going to build to fulfill it. Ask follow-up questions to clarify the user's intent, if something is unclear. Then, proceed with the rest of your instructions.
-   - `search_nodes({query: 'keyword'})` - Search by functionality
+### 2. Parallel Execution
+When operations are independent, execute them in parallel for maximum performance.
+
+✅ GOOD: Call search_nodes, list_nodes, and search_templates simultaneously
+❌ BAD: Sequential tool calls (await each one before the next)
+
+### 3. Templates First
+ALWAYS check templates before building from scratch (2,500+ available).
+
+### 4. Multi-Level Validation
+Use validate_node_minimal → validate_node_operation → validate_workflow pattern.
+
+### 5. Never Trust Defaults
+⚠️ CRITICAL: Default parameter values are the #1 source of runtime failures.
+ALWAYS explicitly configure ALL parameters that control node behavior.
+
+## Workflow Process
+
+1. **Start**: Call `tools_documentation()` for best practices
+
+2. **Template Discovery Phase** (FIRST - parallel when searching multiple)
+   - `search_templates_by_metadata({complexity: "simple"})` - Smart filtering
+   - `get_templates_for_task('webhook_processing')` - Curated by task
+   - `search_templates('slack notification')` - Text search
+   - `list_node_templates(['n8n-nodes-base.slack'])` - By node type
+
+   **Filtering strategies**:
+   - Beginners: `complexity: "simple"` + `maxSetupMinutes: 30`
+   - By role: `targetAudience: "marketers"` | `"developers"` | `"analysts"`
+   - By time: `maxSetupMinutes: 15` for quick wins
+   - By service: `requiredService: "openai"` for compatibility
+
+3. **Node Discovery** (if no suitable template - parallel execution)
+   - Think deeply about requirements. Ask clarifying questions if unclear.
+   - `search_nodes({query: 'keyword', includeExamples: true})` - Parallel for multiple nodes
    - `list_nodes({category: 'trigger'})` - Browse by category
-   - `list_ai_tools()` - See AI-capable nodes (remember: ANY node can be an AI tool!)
+   - `list_ai_tools()` - AI-capable nodes
 
-4. **Configuration Phase** - Get node details efficiently:
-   - `get_node_essentials(nodeType)` - Start here! Only 10-20 essential properties
+4. **Configuration Phase** (parallel for multiple nodes)
+   - `get_node_essentials(nodeType, {includeExamples: true})` - 10-20 key properties
    - `search_node_properties(nodeType, 'auth')` - Find specific properties
-   - `get_node_for_task('send_email')` - Get pre-configured templates
-   - `get_node_documentation(nodeType)` - Human-readable docs when needed
-   - It is good common practice to show a visual representation of the workflow architecture to the user and asking for opinion, before moving forward. 
+   - `get_node_documentation(nodeType)` - Human-readable docs
+   - Show workflow architecture to user for approval before proceeding
 
-5. **Pre-Validation Phase** - Validate BEFORE building:
+5. **Validation Phase** (parallel for multiple nodes)
    - `validate_node_minimal(nodeType, config)` - Quick required fields check
-   - `validate_node_operation(nodeType, config, profile)` - Full operation-aware validation
-   - Fix any validation errors before proceeding
+   - `validate_node_operation(nodeType, config, 'runtime')` - Full validation with fixes
+   - Fix ALL errors before proceeding
 
-6. **Building Phase** - Create or customize the workflow:
+6. **Building Phase**
    - If using template: `get_template(templateId, {mode: "full"})`
-   - **MANDATORY ATTRIBUTION**: When using a template, ALWAYS inform the user:
-     - "This workflow is based on a template by **[author.name]** (@[author.username])"
-     - "View the original template at: [url]"
-     - Example: "This workflow is based on a template by **David Ashby** (@cfomodz). View the original at: https://n8n.io/workflows/2414"
-   - Customize template or build from validated configurations
+   - **MANDATORY ATTRIBUTION**: "Based on template by **[author.name]** (@[username]). View at: [url]"
+   - Build from validated configurations
+   - ⚠️ EXPLICITLY set ALL parameters - never rely on defaults
    - Connect nodes with proper structure
-   - Add error handling where appropriate
-   - Use expressions like $json, $node["NodeName"].json
-   - Build the workflow in an artifact for easy editing downstream (unless the user asked to create in n8n instance)
+   - Add error handling
+   - Use n8n expressions: $json, $node["NodeName"].json
+   - Build in artifact (unless deploying to n8n instance)
 
-7. **Workflow Validation Phase** - Validate complete workflow:
-   - `validate_workflow(workflow)` - Complete validation including connections
-   - `validate_workflow_connections(workflow)` - Check structure and AI tool connections
-   - `validate_workflow_expressions(workflow)` - Validate all n8n expressions
-   - Fix any issues found before deployment
+7. **Workflow Validation** (before deployment)
+   - `validate_workflow(workflow)` - Complete validation
+   - `validate_workflow_connections(workflow)` - Structure check
+   - `validate_workflow_expressions(workflow)` - Expression validation
+   - Fix ALL issues before deployment
 
-8. **Deployment Phase** (if n8n API configured):
-   - `n8n_create_workflow(workflow)` - Deploy validated workflow
-   - `n8n_validate_workflow({id: 'workflow-id'})` - Post-deployment validation
-   - `n8n_update_partial_workflow()` - Make incremental updates using diffs
-   - `n8n_trigger_webhook_workflow()` - Test webhook workflows
+8. **Deployment** (if n8n API configured)
+   - `n8n_create_workflow(workflow)` - Deploy
+   - `n8n_validate_workflow({id})` - Post-deployment check
+   - `n8n_update_partial_workflow({id, operations: [...]})` - Batch updates
+   - `n8n_trigger_webhook_workflow()` - Test webhooks
 
-## Key Insights
+## Critical Warnings
 
-- **TEMPLATES FIRST** - Always check for existing templates before building from scratch (2,500+ available!)
-- **ATTRIBUTION REQUIRED** - Always credit template authors with name, username, and link to n8n.io
-- **SMART FILTERING** - Use metadata filters to find templates matching user skill level and time constraints
-- **USE CODE NODE ONLY WHEN IT IS NECESSARY** - always prefer to use standard nodes over code node. Use code node only when you are sure you need it.
-- **VALIDATE EARLY AND OFTEN** - Catch errors before they reach deployment
-- **USE DIFF UPDATES** - Use n8n_update_partial_workflow for 80-90% token savings
-- **ANY node can be an AI tool** - not just those with usableAsTool=true
-- **Pre-validate configurations** - Use validate_node_minimal before building
-- **Post-validate workflows** - Always validate complete workflows before deployment
-- **Incremental updates** - Use diff operations for existing workflows
-- **Test thoroughly** - Validate both locally and after deployment to n8n
+### ⚠️ Never Trust Defaults
+Default values cause runtime failures. Example:
+```json
+// ❌ FAILS at runtime
+{resource: "message", operation: "post", text: "Hello"}
+
+// ✅ WORKS - all parameters explicit
+{resource: "message", operation: "post", select: "channel", channelId: "C123", text: "Hello"}
+```
+
+### ⚠️ Example Availability
+`includeExamples: true` returns real configurations from workflow templates.
+- Coverage varies by node popularity
+- When no examples available, use `get_node_essentials` + `validate_node_minimal`
 
 ## Validation Strategy
 
-### Before Building:
-1. validate_node_minimal() - Check required fields
-2. validate_node_operation() - Full configuration validation
-3. Fix all errors before proceeding
+### Level 1 - Quick Check (before building)
+`validate_node_minimal(nodeType, config)` - Required fields only (<100ms)
 
-### After Building:
-1. validate_workflow() - Complete workflow validation
-2. validate_workflow_connections() - Structure validation
-3. validate_workflow_expressions() - Expression syntax check
+### Level 2 - Comprehensive (before building)
+`validate_node_operation(nodeType, config, 'runtime')` - Full validation with fixes
 
-### After Deployment:
-1. n8n_validate_workflow({id}) - Validate deployed workflow
-2. n8n_autofix_workflow({id}) - Auto-fix common errors (expressions, typeVersion, webhooks)
-3. n8n_list_executions() - Monitor execution status
-4. n8n_update_partial_workflow() - Fix issues using diffs
+### Level 3 - Complete (after building)
+`validate_workflow(workflow)` - Connections, expressions, AI tools
 
-## Response Structure
+### Level 4 - Post-Deployment
+1. `n8n_validate_workflow({id})` - Validate deployed workflow
+2. `n8n_autofix_workflow({id})` - Auto-fix common errors
+3. `n8n_list_executions()` - Monitor execution status
 
-1. **Discovery**: Show available nodes and options
-2. **Pre-Validation**: Validate node configurations first
-3. **Configuration**: Show only validated, working configs
-4. **Building**: Construct workflow with validated components
-5. **Workflow Validation**: Full workflow validation results
-6. **Deployment**: Deploy only after all validations pass
-7. **Post-Validation**: Verify deployment succeeded

+
+✅ GOOD - Batch multiple operations:
+```json
+n8n_update_partial_workflow({
+  id: "wf-123",
+  operations: [
+    {type: "updateNode", nodeId: "slack-1", changes: {...}},
+    {type: "updateNode", nodeId: "http-1", changes: {...}},
+    {type: "cleanStaleConnections"}
+  ]
+})
+```
+
+❌ BAD - Separate calls:
+```json
+n8n_update_partial_workflow({id: "wf-123", operations: [{...}]})
+n8n_update_partial_workflow({id: "wf-123", operations: [{...}]})

 ## Example Workflow
 
-### Smart Template-First Approach
+### Template-First Approach
 
-#### 1. Find existing templates
-// Find simple Slack templates for marketers
-const templates = search_templates_by_metadata({
+```
+// STEP 1: Template Discovery (parallel execution)
+[Silent execution]
+search_templates_by_metadata({
   requiredService: 'slack',
   complexity: 'simple',
-  targetAudience: 'marketers',
-  maxSetupMinutes: 30
+  targetAudience: 'marketers'
 })
-
-// Or search by text
-search_templates('slack notification')
-
-// Or get curated templates
 get_templates_for_task('slack_integration')
 
-#### 2. Use and customize template
-const workflow = get_template(templates.items[0].id, {mode: 'full'})
+// STEP 2: Use template
+get_template(templateId, {mode: 'full'})
 validate_workflow(workflow)
 
-### Building from Scratch (if no suitable template)
+// Response after all tools complete:
+"Found template by **David Ashby** (@cfomodz).
+View at: https://n8n.io/workflows/2414
 
-#### 1. Discovery & Configuration
-search_nodes({query: 'slack'})
-get_node_essentials('n8n-nodes-base.slack')
+Validation: ✅ All checks passed"
+```
 
-#### 2. Pre-Validation
-validate_node_minimal('n8n-nodes-base.slack', {resource:'message', operation:'send'})
+### Building from Scratch (if no template)
+
+```
+// STEP 1: Discovery (parallel execution)
+[Silent execution]
+search_nodes({query: 'slack', includeExamples: true})
+list_nodes({category: 'communication'})
+
+// STEP 2: Configuration (parallel execution)
+[Silent execution]
+get_node_essentials('n8n-nodes-base.slack', {includeExamples: true})
+get_node_essentials('n8n-nodes-base.webhook', {includeExamples: true})
+
+// STEP 3: Validation (parallel execution)
+[Silent execution]
+validate_node_minimal('n8n-nodes-base.slack', config)
 validate_node_operation('n8n-nodes-base.slack', fullConfig, 'runtime')
 
-#### 3. Build Workflow
-// Create workflow JSON with validated configs
+// STEP 4: Build
+// Construct workflow with validated configs
+// ⚠️ Set ALL parameters explicitly
 
-#### 4. Workflow Validation
+// STEP 5: Validate
+[Silent execution]
 validate_workflow(workflowJson)
-validate_workflow_connections(workflowJson)
-validate_workflow_expressions(workflowJson)
 
-#### 5. Deploy (if configured)
-n8n_create_workflow(validatedWorkflow)
-n8n_validate_workflow({id: createdWorkflowId})
+// Response after all tools complete:
+"Created workflow: Webhook → Slack
+Validation: ✅ Passed"
+```
 
-#### 6. Update Using Diffs
+### Batch Updates
+
+```json
+// ONE call with multiple operations
 n8n_update_partial_workflow({
-  workflowId: id,
+  id: "wf-123",
   operations: [
-    {type: 'updateNode', nodeId: 'slack1', changes: {position: [100, 200]}}
+    {type: "updateNode", nodeId: "slack-1", changes: {position: [100, 200]}},
+    {type: "updateNode", nodeId: "http-1", changes: {position: [300, 200]}},
+    {type: "cleanStaleConnections"}
   ]
 })
+```
 
 ## Important Rules
 
-- 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
+### Core Behavior
+1. **Silent execution** - No commentary between tools
+2. **Parallel by default** - Execute independent operations simultaneously
+3. **Templates first** - Always check before building (2,500+ available)
+4. **Multi-level validation** - Quick check → Full validation → Workflow validation
+5. **Never trust defaults** - Explicitly configure ALL parameters
 
-## Template Discovery Tips
+### Attribution & Credits
+- **MANDATORY TEMPLATE ATTRIBUTION**: Share author name, username, and n8n.io link
+- **Template validation** - Always validate before deployment (may need updates)
 
-- **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
-```
+### Performance
+- **Batch operations** - Use diff operations with multiple changes in one call
+- **Parallel execution** - Search, validate, and configure simultaneously
+- **Template metadata** - Use smart filtering for faster discovery
+
+### Code Node Usage
+- **Avoid when possible** - Prefer standard nodes
+- **Only when necessary** - Use code node as last resort
+- **AI tool capability** - ANY node can be an AI tool (not just marked ones)

+# Template Mining Analysis - Alternative to P0-R3
+
+**Date**: 2025-10-02
+**Context**: Analyzing whether to fix `get_node_for_task` (28% failure rate) or replace it with template-based configuration extraction
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+**RECOMMENDATION**: Replace `get_node_for_task` with template-based configuration extraction. The template database contains 2,646 real-world workflows with rich node configurations that far exceed the 31 hardcoded task templates.
+
+## Key Findings
+
+### 1. Template Database Coverage
+
+- **Total Templates**: 2,646 production workflows from n8n.io
+- **Unique Node Types**: 543 (covers 103% of our 525 core nodes)
+- **Metadata Coverage**: 100% (AI-generated structured metadata)
+
+### 2. Node Type Coverage in Templates
+
+Top node types by template usage:
+```
+3,820 templates: n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest      (144% of total templates!)
+3,678 templates: n8n-nodes-base.set
+2,445 templates: n8n-nodes-base.code
+1,700 templates: n8n-nodes-base.googleSheets
+1,471 templates: @n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.agent
+1,269 templates: @n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.lmChatOpenAi
+  792 templates: n8n-nodes-base.telegram
+  702 templates: n8n-nodes-base.httpRequestTool
+  596 templates: n8n-nodes-base.gmail
+  466 templates: n8n-nodes-base.webhook
+```
+
+**Comparison**:
+- Hardcoded task templates: 31 tasks covering 5.9% of nodes
+- Real templates: 2,646 templates with 2-3k examples for common nodes
+
+### 3. Database Structure
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE templates (
+  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
+  workflow_id INTEGER UNIQUE NOT NULL,
+  name TEXT NOT NULL,
+  description TEXT,
+  -- Node information
+  nodes_used TEXT,              -- JSON array: ["n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest", ...]
+  workflow_json_compressed TEXT, -- Base64 encoded gzip of full workflow
+  -- Metadata (100% coverage)
+  metadata_json TEXT,           -- AI-generated structured metadata
+  -- Stats
+  views INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
+  created_at DATETIME,
+  -- ...
+);
+```
+
+### 4. Real Configuration Examples
+
+#### HTTP Request Node Configurations
+
+**Simple URL fetch**:
+```json
+{
+  "url": "https://api.example.com/data",
+  "options": {}
+}
+```
+
+**With authentication**:
+```json
+{
+  "url": "=https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{{ $json.data.id }}/result",
+  "options": {},
+  "authentication": "genericCredentialType",
+  "genericAuthType": "httpHeaderAuth"
+}
+```
+
+**Complex expressions**:
+```json
+{
+  "url": "=https://image.pollinations.ai/prompt/{{$('Social Media Content Factory').item.json.output.description.replaceAll(' ','-').replaceAll(',','').replaceAll('.','') }}",
+  "options": {}
+}
+```
+
+#### Webhook Node Configurations
+
+**Basic webhook**:
+```json
+{
+  "path": "ytube",
+  "options": {},
+  "httpMethod": "POST",
+  "responseMode": "responseNode"
+}
+```
+
+**With binary data**:
+```json
+{
+  "path": "your-endpoint",
+  "options": {
+    "binaryPropertyName": "data"
+  },
+  "httpMethod": "POST"
+}
+```
+
+### 5. AI-Generated Metadata
+
+Each template has structured metadata including:
+
+```json
+{
+  "categories": ["automation", "integration", "data processing"],
+  "complexity": "medium",
+  "use_cases": [
+    "Extract transaction data from Gmail",
+    "Automate bookkeeping",
+    "Expense tracking"
+  ],
+  "estimated_setup_minutes": 30,
+  "required_services": ["Gmail", "Google Sheets", "Google Gemini"],
+  "key_features": [
+    "Fetch emails by label",
+    "Extract transaction data",
+    "Use LLM for structured output"
+  ],
+  "target_audience": ["Accountants", "Small business owners"]
+}
+```
+
+## Comparison: Task Templates vs Real Templates
+
+### Current Approach (get_node_for_task)
+
+**Pros**:
+- Curated configurations with best practices
+- Predictable, stable responses
+- Fast lookup (no decompression needed)
+
+**Cons**:
+- Only 31 tasks (5.9% node coverage)
+- 28% failure rate (users can't find what they need)
+- Requires manual maintenance
+- Static configurations without real-world context
+- Usage ratio 22.5:1 (search_nodes is preferred)
+
+### Template-Based Approach
+
+**Pros**:
+- 2,646 real workflows with 2-3k examples for common nodes
+- 100% metadata coverage for semantic matching
+- Real-world patterns and best practices
+- Covers 543 node types (103% coverage)
+- Self-updating (templates fetched from n8n.io)
+- Rich context (use cases, complexity, setup time)
+
+**Cons**:
+- Requires decompression for full workflow access
+- May contain template-specific context (but can be filtered)
+- Need ranking/filtering logic for best matches
+
+## Proposed Implementation Strategy
+
+### Phase 1: Extract Node Configurations from Templates
+
+Create a new service: `TemplateConfigExtractor`
+
+```typescript
+interface ExtractedNodeConfig {
+  nodeType: string;
+  configuration: Record<string, any>;
+  source: {
+    templateId: number;
+    templateName: string;
+    templateViews: number;
+    useCases: string[];
+    complexity: 'simple' | 'medium' | 'complex';
+  };
+  patterns: {
+    hasAuthentication: boolean;
+    hasExpressions: boolean;
+    hasOptionalFields: boolean;
+  };
+}
+
+class TemplateConfigExtractor {
+  async extractConfigsForNode(
+    nodeType: string,
+    options?: {
+      complexity?: 'simple' | 'medium' | 'complex';
+      requiresAuth?: boolean;
+      limit?: number;
+    }

+    // 1. Query templates containing nodeType
+    // 2. Decompress workflow_json_compressed
+    // 3. Extract node configurations
+    // 4. Rank by popularity + complexity match
+    // 5. Return top N configurations
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Integrate with Existing Tools
+
+**Option A**: Enhance `get_node_essentials`
+- Add `includeExamples: boolean` parameter
+- Return 2-3 real configurations from templates
+- Preserve existing compact format
+
+**Option B**: Enhance `get_node_info`
+- Add `examples` section with template-sourced configs
+- Include source attribution (template name, views)
+
+**Option C**: New tool `get_node_examples`
+- Dedicated tool for retrieving configuration examples
+- Query by node type, complexity, use case
+- Returns ranked list of real configurations
+
+### Phase 3: Deprecate get_node_for_task
+
+- Mark as deprecated in tool documentation
+- Redirect to enhanced tools
+- Remove after 2-3 version cycles
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Decompression Cost
+
+- Average compressed size: 6-12 KB
+- Decompression time: ~5-10ms per template
+- Caching strategy needed for frequently accessed templates
+
+### Query Strategy
+
+```sql
+-- Fast: Get templates for a node type (no decompression)
+SELECT id, name, views, metadata_json
+FROM templates
+WHERE nodes_used LIKE '%n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest%'
+ORDER BY views DESC
+LIMIT 10;
+
+-- Then decompress only top matches
+```
+
+### Caching
+
+- Cache decompressed workflows for popular templates (top 100)
+- TTL: 1 hour
+- Estimated memory: 100 * 50KB = 5MB
+
+## Impact on P0-R3
+
+**Original P0-R3 Plan**: Expand task library from 31 to 100+ tasks using fuzzy matching
+
+**New Approach**: Mine 2,646 templates for real configurations
+
+**Impact Assessment**:
+
+| Metric | Original Plan | Template Mining |
+|--------|--------------|-----------------|
+| Configuration examples | 100 (estimated) | 2,646+ actual |
+| Node coverage | ~20% | 103% |
+| Maintenance | High (manual) | Low (auto-fetch) |
+| Accuracy | Curated | Production-tested |
+| Context richness | Limited | Rich metadata |
+| Development time | 2-3 weeks | 1 week |
+
+**Recommendation**: PIVOT to template mining approach for P0-R3
+
+## Implementation Estimate
+
+### Week 1: Core Infrastructure
+- Day 1-2: Create `TemplateConfigExtractor` service
+- Day 3: Implement caching layer
+- Day 4-5: Testing and optimization
+
+### Week 2: Integration
+- Day 1-2: Enhance `get_node_essentials` with examples
+- Day 3: Update tool documentation
+- Day 4-5: Integration testing
+
+**Total**: 2 weeks vs 3 weeks for original plan
+
+## Validation Tests
+
+```typescript
+// Test: Extract HTTP Request configs
+const configs = await extractor.extractConfigsForNode(
+  'n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest',
+  { complexity: 'simple', limit: 5 }
+);
+
+// Expected: 5 configs from top templates
+// - Simple URL fetch
+// - With authentication
+// - With custom headers
+// - With expressions
+// - With error handling
+
+// Test: Extract webhook configs
+const webhookConfigs = await extractor.extractConfigsForNode(
+  'n8n-nodes-base.webhook',
+  { limit: 3 }
+);
+
+// Expected: 3 configs showing different patterns
+// - Basic POST webhook
+// - With response node
+// - With binary data handling
+```
+
+## Risks and Mitigation
+
+### Risk 1: Template Quality Varies
+- **Mitigation**: Filter by views (popularity) and metadata complexity rating
+- Only use templates with >1000 views for examples
+
+### Risk 2: Decompression Performance
+- **Mitigation**: Cache decompressed popular templates
+- Implement lazy loading (decompress on demand)
+
+### Risk 3: Template-Specific Context
+- **Mitigation**: Extract only node configuration, strip workflow-specific context
+- Provide source attribution for context
+
+### Risk 4: Breaking Changes in Template Structure
+- **Mitigation**: Robust error handling in decompression
+- Fallback to cached configs if template fetch fails
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+**Before** (get_node_for_task):
+- 392 calls, 72% success rate
+- 28% failure rate
+- 31 task templates
+- 5.9% node coverage
+
+**Target** (template-based):
+- 90%+ success rate for configuration discovery
+- 100%+ node coverage
+- 2,646+ real-world examples
+- Self-updating from n8n.io
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. ✅ Complete template database analysis
+2. ⏳ Create `TemplateConfigExtractor` service
+3. ⏳ Implement caching layer
+4. ⏳ Enhance `get_node_essentials` with examples
+5. ⏳ Update P0 implementation plan
+6. ⏳ Begin implementation
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The template database provides a vastly superior alternative to hardcoded task templates:
+
+- **2,646 templates** vs 31 tasks (85x more examples)
+- **103% node coverage** vs 5.9% coverage (17x improvement)
+- **Real-world configurations** vs synthetic examples
+- **Self-updating** vs manual maintenance
+- **Rich metadata** for semantic matching
+
+**Recommendation**: Pivot P0-R3 from "expand task library" to "mine template configurations"

+- Test workflow retrieval
+- Test workflow deletion
+
+**Branch:** `feat/integration-tests-workflow-creation`
+
+## Prerequisites for Running Tests
+
+Before running integration tests, you need to:
+
+1. **Set up n8n instance:**
+   - Local: `npx n8n start`
+   - Or use cloud/self-hosted n8n
+
+2. **Configure credentials in `.env`:**
+   ```bash
+   N8N_API_URL=http://localhost:5678
+   N8N_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
+   ```
+
+3. **Create 4 webhook workflows manually:**
+   - One for each HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
+   - Activate each workflow in n8n UI
+   - Set workflow IDs in `.env`:
+     ```bash
+     N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_GET_ID=<workflow-id>
+     N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_POST_ID=<workflow-id>
+     N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_PUT_ID=<workflow-id>
+     N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_DELETE_ID=<workflow-id>
+     ```
+
+See `docs/local/integration-testing-plan.md` for detailed setup instructions.
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+Phase 1 Success Criteria - ALL MET:
+- ✅ All utilities implemented and tested
+- ✅ TypeScript compiles without errors
+- ✅ Code follows project conventions
+- ✅ Comprehensive documentation
+- ✅ Environment configuration complete
+- ✅ Cleanup infrastructure in place
+- ✅ Ready for Phase 2 test implementation
+
+## Lessons Learned
+
+1. **N8nApiClient Constructor:** Uses config object, not separate parameters
+2. **Cursor Handling:** n8n API returns `null` for no more pages, need to convert to `undefined`
+3. **Workflow ID Validation:** Some workflows might have undefined IDs, need null checks
+4. **Connection Types:** Error connections need explicit typing to avoid TypeScript errors
+5. **Webhook Activation:** Cannot be done via API, must be manual - hence pre-activated workflow requirement
+
+## Time Invested
+
+Phase 1 actual time: ~2 hours (estimated 2-3 days in plan)
+- Faster than expected due to clear architecture and reusable patterns

 ## Integration Testing
 
-Our integration tests verify the complete system behavior:
+Our integration tests verify the complete system behavior across 570 tests in four major categories:
 
-### MCP Protocol Testing
+### n8n API Integration Testing (172 tests)
+
+The n8n API integration tests verify all 18 MCP handler tools against a real n8n instance. These tests ensure our product layer (MCP handlers) work correctly end-to-end, not just the raw API client.
+
+**Test Organization:**
+- **Workflows** (11 handlers): Create, read, update (full/partial), delete, list, validate, autofix
+- **Executions** (2 handlers): Get execution details, list executions
+- **System** (3 handlers): Health check, list available tools, diagnostics
+
+**Example:**
+```typescript
+// tests/integration/n8n-api/workflows/create-workflow.test.ts
+describe('Integration: handleCreateWorkflow', () => {
+  it('should create a simple two-node workflow', async () => {
+    const response = await handleCreateWorkflow(
+      {
+        params: {
+          arguments: {
+            name: 'Test Workflow',
+            nodes: [webhook, setNode],
+            connections: { Webhook: { main: [[{ node: 'Set', type: 'main', index: 0 }]] } }
+          }
+        }
+      },
+      mcpContext
+    );
+
+    expect(response.success).toBe(true);
+    const workflow = response.data as WorkflowData;
+    expect(workflow.id).toBeDefined();

+
+    // Cleanup
+    await handleDeleteWorkflow({ params: { arguments: { id: workflow.id } } }, mcpContext);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Features Tested:**
+- Real workflow creation, modification, deletion with cleanup
+- TypeScript type safety with response interfaces
+- Complete coverage of all 18 n8n API tools
+- Proper error handling and edge cases
+- Response format validation

 /**
- * Universal Node Type Normalizer
+ * Universal Node Type Normalizer - FOR DATABASE OPERATIONS ONLY
  *
- * Converts ANY node type variation to the canonical SHORT form used by the database.
- * This fixes the critical issue where AI agents or external sources may produce
- * full-form node types (e.g., "n8n-nodes-base.webhook") which need to be normalized
- * to match the database storage format (e.g., "nodes-base.webhook").
+ * ⚠️ WARNING: Do NOT use before n8n API calls!
+ *
+ * This class converts node types to SHORT form (database format).
+ * The n8n API requires FULL form (n8n-nodes-base.*).
+ *
+ * **Use this ONLY when:**
+ * - Querying the node database
+ * - Searching for node information
+ * - Looking up node metadata
+ *
+ * **Do NOT use before:**
+ * - Creating workflows (n8n_create_workflow)
+ * - Updating workflows (n8n_update_workflow)
+ * - Any n8n API calls
  *
  * **IMPORTANT:** The n8n-mcp database stores nodes in SHORT form:
  * - n8n-nodes-base → nodes-base
  * - @n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain → nodes-langchain
  *
- * Handles:
- * - Full form → Short form (n8n-nodes-base.X → nodes-base.X)
- * - Already short form → Unchanged
- * - LangChain nodes → Proper short prefix
+ * But the n8n API requires FULL form:
+ * - nodes-base → n8n-nodes-base
+ * - nodes-langchain → @n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain
  *
- * @example
- * NodeTypeNormalizer.normalizeToFullForm('n8n-nodes-base.webhook')
+ * @example Database Lookup (CORRECT usage)
+ * const dbType = NodeTypeNormalizer.normalizeToFullForm('n8n-nodes-base.webhook')
  * // → 'nodes-base.webhook'
+ * const node = await repository.getNode(dbType)
  *
- * @example
- * NodeTypeNormalizer.normalizeToFullForm('nodes-base.webhook')
- * // → 'nodes-base.webhook' (unchanged)
+ * @example API Call (INCORRECT - Do NOT do this!)
+ * const workflow = { nodes: [{ type: 'n8n-nodes-base.webhook' }] }
+ * const normalized = NodeTypeNormalizer.normalizeWorkflowNodeTypes(workflow)
+ * // ❌ WRONG! normalized has SHORT form, API needs FULL form
+ * await client.createWorkflow(normalized) // FAILS!
+ *
+ * @example API Call (CORRECT)
+ * const workflow = { nodes: [{ type: 'n8n-nodes-base.webhook' }] }
+ * // ✅ Send as-is to API (FULL form required)
