 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [2.24.1] - 2025-01-24
+
+### ✨ Features
+
+**Session Persistence API**
+
+Added export/restore functionality for MCP sessions to enable zero-downtime deployments in container environments (Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, etc.).
+
+#### What's New
+
+**1. Export Session State**
+- `exportSessionState()` method in `SingleSessionHTTPServer` and `N8NMCPEngine`
+- Exports all active sessions with metadata and instance context
+- Automatically filters expired sessions
+- Returns serializable `SessionState[]` array
+
+**2. Restore Session State**
+- `restoreSessionState(sessions)` method for session recovery
+- Validates session structure using existing `validateInstanceContext()`
+- Handles null/invalid sessions gracefully with warnings
+- Enforces MAX_SESSIONS limit (100 concurrent sessions)
+- Skips expired sessions during restore
+
+**3. SessionState Type**
+- New type definition in `src/types/session-state.ts`
+- Fully documented with JSDoc comments
+- Includes metadata (timestamps) and context (credentials)
+- Exported from main package index
+
+**4. Dormant Session Behavior**
+- Restored sessions are "dormant" until first request
+- Transport and server objects recreated on-demand
+- Memory-efficient session recovery
+
+#### Security Considerations
+
+⚠️ **IMPORTANT:** Exported session data contains plaintext n8n API keys. Downstream applications MUST encrypt session data before persisting to disk using AES-256-GCM or equivalent.
+
+#### Use Cases
+- Zero-downtime deployments in container orchestration
+- Session recovery after crashes or restarts
+- Multi-tenant platform session management
+- Rolling updates without user disruption
+
+#### Testing
+- 22 comprehensive unit tests (100% passing)
+- Tests cover export, restore, edge cases, and round-trip cycles
+- Validation of expired session filtering and error handling
+
+#### Implementation Details
+- Only exports sessions with valid `n8nApiUrl` and `n8nApiKey` in context
+- Respects `sessionTimeout` setting (default 30 minutes)
+- Session metadata and context persisted; transport/server recreated on-demand
+- Comprehensive error handling with detailed logging

+Introduced `get_node` - a unified tool that consolidates and enhances node information retrieval with multiple detail levels, version history, and type structure metadata.
+
+#### What's New
+
+**1. Progressive Detail Levels**
+- `minimal`: Basic metadata only (~200 tokens) - nodeType, displayName, description, category, version summary
+- `standard`: Essential properties and operations - AI-friendly default (~1000-2000 tokens)
+- `full`: Complete node information including all properties (~3000-8000 tokens)
+
+**2. Version History & Management**
+- `versions` mode: List all versions with breaking changes summary
+- `compare` mode: Compare two versions with property-level changes
+- `breaking` mode: Show only breaking changes between versions
+- `migrations` mode: Show auto-migratable changes
+- Version summary always included in info mode responses
+
+**3. Type Structure Metadata**
+- `includeTypeInfo` parameter exposes type structures from v2.23.0 validation system
+- Includes: type category, JS type, validation rules, structure hints
+- Helps AI agents understand complex types (filter, resourceMapper, resourceLocator, etc.)
+- Adds ~80-120 tokens per property when enabled
+- Works with all detail levels
+
+**4. Real-World Examples**
+- `includeExamples` parameter includes configuration examples from templates
+- Shows popular workflow patterns
+- Includes metadata (views, complexity, use cases)
+
+#### Usage Examples
+
+```javascript
+// Standard detail (recommended for AI agents)
+get_node({nodeType: "nodes-base.httpRequest"})
+
+// Standard with type info
+get_node({nodeType: "nodes-base.httpRequest", includeTypeInfo: true})
+
+// Minimal (quick metadata check)
+get_node({nodeType: "nodes-base.httpRequest", detail: "minimal"})
+
+// Full detail with examples
+get_node({nodeType: "nodes-base.httpRequest", detail: "full", includeExamples: true})
+
+// Version history
+get_node({nodeType: "nodes-base.httpRequest", mode: "versions"})
+
+// Compare versions
+get_node({
+  nodeType: "nodes-base.httpRequest",
+  mode: "compare",
+  fromVersion: "3.0",
+  toVersion: "4.1"
+})
+```
+
+#### Benefits
+
+- ✅ **Single Unified API**: One tool for all node information needs
+- ✅ **Token Efficient**: AI-friendly defaults (standard mode recommended)
+- ✅ **Progressive Disclosure**: minimal → standard → full as needed
+- ✅ **Type Aware**: Exposes v2.23.0 type structures for better configuration
+- ✅ **Version Aware**: Built-in version history and comparison
+- ✅ **Flexible**: Can combine detail levels with type info and examples
+- ✅ **Discoverable**: Version summary always visible in info mode
+
+#### Token Costs
+
+- `minimal`: ~200 tokens
+- `standard`: ~1000-2000 tokens (default)
+- `full`: ~3000-8000 tokens
+- `includeTypeInfo`: +80-120 tokens per property
+- `includeExamples`: +200-400 tokens per example
+- Version modes: ~400-1200 tokens
+
+### 🗑️ Breaking Changes
+
+**Removed Deprecated Tools**
+
+Immediately removed `get_node_info` and `get_node_essentials` in favor of the unified `get_node` tool:
+- `get_node_info` → Use `get_node` with `detail='full'`
+- `get_node_essentials` → Use `get_node` with `detail='standard'` (default)
+
+**Migration:**
+```javascript
+// Old
+get_node_info({nodeType: "nodes-base.httpRequest"})
+// New
+get_node({nodeType: "nodes-base.httpRequest", detail: "full"})
+
+// Old
+get_node_essentials({nodeType: "nodes-base.httpRequest", includeExamples: true})
+// New
+get_node({nodeType: "nodes-base.httpRequest", includeExamples: true})
+// or
+get_node({nodeType: "nodes-base.httpRequest", detail: "standard", includeExamples: true})
+```

+## [2.23.0] - 2025-11-21
+
+### ✨ Features
+
+**Type Structure Validation System (Phases 1-4 Complete)**
+
+Implemented comprehensive automatic validation system for complex n8n node configuration structures, ensuring workflows are correct before deployment.
+
+#### Overview
+
+Type Structure Validation is an automatic, zero-configuration validation system that validates complex node configurations (filter, resourceMapper, assignmentCollection, resourceLocator) during node validation. The system operates transparently - no special flags or configuration required.
+
+#### Key Features
+
+**1. Automatic Structure Validation**
+- Validates 4 special n8n types: filter, resourceMapper, assignmentCollection, resourceLocator
+- Zero configuration required - works automatically in all validation tools
+- Integrated in `validate_node_operation` and `validate_node_minimal` tools
+- 100% backward compatible - no breaking changes
+
+**2. Comprehensive Type Coverage**
+- **filter** (FilterValue) - Complex filtering conditions with 40+ operations (equals, contains, regex, etc.)
+- **resourceMapper** (ResourceMapperValue) - Data mapping configuration for format transformation
+- **assignmentCollection** (AssignmentCollectionValue) - Variable assignments for setting multiple values
+- **resourceLocator** (INodeParameterResourceLocator) - Resource selection with multiple lookup modes (ID, name, URL)
+
+**3. Production-Ready Performance**
+- **100% pass rate** on 776 real-world validations (91 templates, 616 nodes)
+- **0.01ms average** validation time (500x faster than 50ms target)
+- **0% false positive rate**
+- Tested against top n8n.io workflow templates
+
+**4. Clear Error Messages**
+- Actionable error messages with property paths
+- Fix suggestions for common issues
+- Context-aware validation with node-specific logic
+- Educational feedback for AI agents
+
+#### Implementation Phases
+
+**Phase 1: Type Structure Definitions** ✅
+- 22 complete type structures defined in `src/constants/type-structures.ts` (741 lines)
+- Type definitions in `src/types/type-structures.ts` (301 lines)
+- Complete coverage of filter, resourceMapper, assignmentCollection, resourceLocator
+- TypeScript interfaces with validation schemas
+
+**Phase 2: Validation Integration** ✅
+- Integrated in `EnhancedConfigValidator` service (427 lines)
+- Automatic validation in all MCP tools (validate_node_operation, validate_node_minimal)
+- Four validation profiles: minimal, runtime, ai-friendly, strict
+- Node-specific validation logic for edge cases
+
+**Phase 3: Real-World Validation** ✅
+- 100% pass rate on 776 validations across 91 templates
+- 616 nodes tested from top n8n.io workflows
+- Type-specific results:
+  - filter: 93/93 passed (100.00%)
+  - resourceMapper: 69/69 passed (100.00%)
+  - assignmentCollection: 213/213 passed (100.00%)
+  - resourceLocator: 401/401 passed (100.00%)
+- Performance: 0.01ms average (500x better than target)
+
+**Phase 4: Documentation & Polish** ✅
+- Comprehensive technical documentation (`docs/TYPE_STRUCTURE_VALIDATION.md`)
+- Updated internal documentation (CLAUDE.md)
+- Progressive discovery maintained (minimal tool documentation changes)
+- Production readiness checklist completed
+
+#### Edge Cases Handled
+
+**1. Credential-Provided Fields**
+- Fields like Google Sheets `sheetId` that come from credentials at runtime
+- No false positives for credential-populated fields
+
+**2. Filter Operations**
+- Universal operations (exists, notExists, isNotEmpty) work across all data types
+- Type-specific operations validated (regex for strings, gt/lt for numbers)
+
+**3. Node-Specific Logic**
+- Custom validation for specific nodes (Google Sheets, Slack, etc.)
+- Context-aware error messages based on node operation

+- `scripts/test-structure-validation.ts` - Standalone validation script
+
+#### Usage
+
+No changes required - structure validation works automatically:
+
+```javascript
+// Validation works automatically with structure validation
+validate_node_operation("nodes-base.if", {
+  conditions: {
+    combinator: "and",
+    conditions: [{
+      leftValue: "={{ $json.status }}",
+      rightValue: "active",
+      operator: { type: "string", operation: "equals" }
+    }]
+  }
+})
+
+// Structure errors are caught and reported clearly

+## [2.22.21] - 2025-11-20
+
+### 🐛 Bug Fixes
+
+**Fix Empty Settings Object Validation Error (#431)**
+
+Fixed critical bug where `n8n_update_partial_workflow` tool failed with "request/body must NOT have additional properties" error when workflows had no settings or only non-whitelisted settings properties.
+
+#### Root Cause
+- `cleanWorkflowForUpdate()` in `src/services/n8n-validation.ts` was sending empty `settings: {}` objects to the n8n API
+- n8n API rejects empty settings objects as "additional properties" violation
+- Issue occurred when:
+  - Workflow had no settings property
+  - Workflow had only non-whitelisted settings (e.g., only `callerPolicy`)
+
+#### Changes
+- **Primary Fix**: Modified `cleanWorkflowForUpdate()` to delete `settings` property when empty after filtering
+  - Instead of sending `settings: {}`, the property is now omitted entirely
+  - Added safeguards in lines 193-199 and 201-204
+- **Secondary Fix**: Enhanced `applyUpdateSettings()` in `workflow-diff-engine.ts` to prevent creating empty settings objects
+  - Only creates/updates settings if operation provides actual properties
+- **Test Updates**: Fixed 3 incorrect tests that expected empty settings objects
+  - Updated to expect settings property to be omitted instead
+  - Added 2 new comprehensive tests for edge cases
+
+#### Testing
+- All 75 unit tests in `n8n-validation.test.ts` passing
+- New tests cover:
+  - Workflows with no settings → omits property
+  - Workflows with only non-whitelisted settings → omits property
+  - Workflows with mixed settings → keeps only whitelisted properties
+
+**Related Issues**: #431, #248 (n8n API design limitation)
+**Related n8n Issue**: n8n-io/n8n#19587 (closed as NOT_PLANNED - MCP server issue)

+
+## [2.22.18] - 2025-11-14
+
+### ✨ Features
+
+**Structural Hash Tracking for Workflow Mutations**
+
+Added structural hash tracking to enable cross-referencing between workflow mutations and workflow quality data:
+
+#### Structural Hash Generation
+- Added `workflowStructureHashBefore` and `workflowStructureHashAfter` fields to mutation records
+- Hashes based on node types + connections (structural elements only)
+- Compatible with `telemetry_workflows.workflow_hash` format for cross-referencing
+- Implementation: Uses `WorkflowSanitizer.generateWorkflowHash()` for consistency
+- Enables linking mutation impact to workflow quality scores and grades
+
+#### Success Tracking Enhancement
+- Added `isTrulySuccessful` computed field to mutation records
+- Definition: Mutation executed successfully AND improved/maintained validation AND has known intent
+- Enables filtering to high-quality mutation data
+- Provides automated success detection without manual review
+
+#### Testing & Verification
+- All 17 mutation-tracker unit tests passing
+- Verified with live mutations: structural changes detected (hash changes), config-only updates detected (hash stays same)
+- Success tracking working accurately (64% truly successful rate in testing)
+
+**Files Modified**:
+- `src/telemetry/mutation-tracker.ts`: Generate structural hashes during mutation processing
+- `src/telemetry/mutation-types.ts`: Add new fields to WorkflowMutationRecord interface
+- `src/telemetry/workflow-sanitizer.ts`: Expose generateWorkflowHash() method
+- `tests/unit/telemetry/mutation-tracker.test.ts`: Add 5 new test cases
+
+**Impact**:
+- Enables cross-referencing between mutation and workflow data
+- Provides labeled dataset with quality indicators
+- Maintains backward compatibility (new fields optional)

+
+## [2.22.17] - 2025-11-13
+
+### 🐛 Bug Fixes
+
+**Critical Telemetry Improvements**
+
+Fixed three critical issues in workflow mutation telemetry to improve data quality and security:
+
+#### 1. Fixed Inconsistent Sanitization (Security Critical)
+- **Problem**: 30% of workflows (178-188 records) were unsanitized, exposing potential credentials/tokens
+- **Solution**: Replaced weak inline sanitization with robust `WorkflowSanitizer.sanitizeWorkflowRaw()`
+- **Impact**: Now 100% sanitization coverage with 17 sensitive patterns detected and redacted
+- **Files Modified**:
+  - `src/telemetry/workflow-sanitizer.ts`: Added `sanitizeWorkflowRaw()` method
+  - `src/telemetry/mutation-tracker.ts`: Removed redundant sanitization code, use centralized sanitizer
+
+#### 2. Enabled Validation Data Capture (Data Quality Blocker)
+- **Problem**: Zero validation metrics captured (validation_before/after all NULL)
+- **Solution**: Added workflow validation before and after mutations using `WorkflowValidator`
+- **Impact**: Can now measure mutation quality, track error resolution patterns
+- **Implementation**:
+  - Validates workflows before mutation (captures baseline errors)
+  - Validates workflows after mutation (measures improvement)
+  - Non-blocking: validation errors don't prevent mutations
+  - Captures: errors, warnings, validation status
+- **Files Modified**:
+  - `src/mcp/handlers-workflow-diff.ts`: Added pre/post mutation validation
+
+#### 3. Improved Intent Capture (Data Quality)
+- **Problem**: 92.62% of intents were generic "Partial workflow update"
+- **Solution**: Enhanced tool documentation + automatic intent inference from operations
+- **Impact**: Meaningful intents automatically generated when not explicitly provided
+- **Implementation**:
+  - Enhanced documentation with specific intent examples and anti-patterns
+  - Added `inferIntentFromOperations()` function that generates meaningful intents:
+    - Single operations: "Add n8n-nodes-base.slack", "Connect webhook to HTTP Request"
+    - Multiple operations: "Workflow update: add 2 nodes, modify connections"
+  - Fallback inference when intent is missing, generic, or too short
+- **Files Modified**:
+  - `src/mcp/tool-docs/workflow_management/n8n-update-partial-workflow.ts`: Enhanced guidance
+  - `src/mcp/handlers-workflow-diff.ts`: Added intent inference logic
+
+### 📊 Expected Results
+
+After deployment, telemetry data should show:
+- **100% sanitization coverage** (up from 70%)
+- **100% validation capture** (up from 0%)
+- **50%+ meaningful intents** (up from 7.33%)
+- **Complete telemetry dataset** for analysis
+
+### 🎯 Technical Details
+
+**Sanitization Coverage**: Now detects and redacts:
+- Webhook URLs, API keys (OpenAI sk-*, GitHub ghp-*, etc.)
+- Bearer tokens, OAuth credentials, passwords
+- URLs with authentication, long tokens (20+ chars)
+- Sensitive field names (apiKey, token, secret, password, etc.)
+
+**Validation Metrics Captured**:
+- Workflow validity status (true/false)
+- Error/warning counts and details
+- Node configuration errors
+- Connection errors
+- Expression syntax errors
+- Validation improvement tracking (errors resolved/introduced)
+
+**Intent Inference Examples**:
+- `addNode` → "Add n8n-nodes-base.webhook"
+- `rewireConnection` → "Rewire IF from ErrorHandler to SuccessHandler"
+- Multiple operations → "Workflow update: add 2 nodes, modify connections, update metadata"
+

+### ✨ New Features
+
+**Issue #410: DISABLED_TOOLS Environment Variable for Tool Filtering**
+
+Added `DISABLED_TOOLS` environment variable to filter specific tools from registration at startup, enabling deployment-specific tool configuration for multi-tenant deployments, security hardening, and feature flags.
+
+#### Problem
+
+In multi-tenant deployments, some tools don't work correctly because they check global environment variables instead of per-instance context. Examples:
+
+- `n8n_diagnostic` shows global env vars (`NODE_ENV`, `process.env.N8N_API_URL`) which are meaningless in multi-tenant mode where each user has their own n8n instance credentials
+- `n8n_health_check` checks global n8n API configuration instead of instance-specific settings
+- These tools appear in the tools list but either don't work correctly (show wrong data), hang/error, or create confusing UX
+
+Additionally, some deployments need to disable certain tools for:
+- **Security**: Disable management tools in production for certain users
+- **Feature flags**: Gradually roll out new tools
+- **Deployment-specific**: Different tool sets for cloud vs self-hosted
+
+#### Solution
+
+**Environment Variable Format:**
+```bash
+DISABLED_TOOLS=n8n_diagnostic,n8n_health_check,custom_tool
+```
+
+**Implementation:**
+1. **`getDisabledTools()` Method** (`src/mcp/server.ts` lines 326-348)
+   - Parses comma-separated tool names from `DISABLED_TOOLS` env var
+   - Returns `Set<string>` for O(1) lookup performance
+   - Handles whitespace trimming and empty entries
+   - Logs configured disabled tools for debugging
+
+2. **ListToolsRequestSchema Handler** (`src/mcp/server.ts` lines 401-449)
+   - Filters both `n8nDocumentationToolsFinal` and `n8nManagementTools` arrays
+   - Removes disabled tools before returning to client
+   - Logs filtered tool count for observability
+
+3. **CallToolRequestSchema Handler** (`src/mcp/server.ts` lines 491-505)
+   - Checks if requested tool is disabled before execution
+   - Returns clear error message with `TOOL_DISABLED` code
+   - Includes list of all disabled tools in error response
+
+4. **executeTool() Guard** (`src/mcp/server.ts` lines 909-913)
+   - Defense in depth: additional check at execution layer
+   - Throws error if disabled tool somehow reaches execution
+   - Ensures complete protection against disabled tool calls
+
+**Error Response Format:**
+```json
+{
+  "error": "TOOL_DISABLED",
+  "message": "Tool 'n8n_diagnostic' is not available in this deployment. It has been disabled via DISABLED_TOOLS environment variable.",
+  "disabledTools": ["n8n_diagnostic", "n8n_health_check"]
+}
+```
+
+#### Usage Examples
+
+**Multi-tenant deployment:**
+```bash
+# Hide tools that check global env vars
+DISABLED_TOOLS=n8n_diagnostic,n8n_health_check
+```
+
+**Security hardening:**
+```bash
+# Disable destructive management tools
+DISABLED_TOOLS=n8n_delete_workflow,n8n_update_full_workflow
+```
+
+**Feature flags:**
+```bash
+# Gradually roll out experimental tools
+DISABLED_TOOLS=experimental_feature_1,beta_tool_2
+```
+
+**Deployment-specific:**
+```bash
+# Different tool sets for cloud vs self-hosted
+DISABLED_TOOLS=local_only_tool,debug_tool
+```
+
+#### Benefits
+
+- ✅ **Clean Implementation**: ~40 lines of code, simple and maintainable
+- ✅ **Environment Variable Based**: Standard configuration pattern
+- ✅ **Backward Compatible**: No `DISABLED_TOOLS` = all tools enabled
+- ✅ **Defense in Depth**: Filtering at registration + runtime rejection
+- ✅ **Performance**: O(1) lookup using Set data structure
+- ✅ **Observability**: Logs configuration and filter counts
+- ✅ **Clear Error Messages**: Users understand why tools aren't available
+
+#### Test Coverage
+
+**45 comprehensive tests (all passing):**
+
+**Original Tests (21 scenarios):**
+- Environment variable parsing (8 tests)
+- Tool filtering for both doc & mgmt tools (5 tests)
+- ExecuteTool guard (3 tests)
+- Invalid tool names (2 tests)
+- Real-world use cases (3 tests)
+
+**Additional Tests by test-automator (24 scenarios):**
+- Error response structure validation (3 tests)
+- Multi-tenant mode interaction (3 tests)
+- Special characters & unicode (5 tests)
+- Performance at scale (3 tests)
+- Environment variable edge cases (4 tests)
+- Defense in depth verification (3 tests)
+- Real-world deployment scenarios (3 tests)
+
+**Coverage:** 95% of feature code, exceeds >90% requirement
+
+#### Files Modified
+
+**Core Implementation (1 file):**
+- `src/mcp/server.ts` - Added filtering logic (~40 lines)
+
+**Configuration (4 files):**
+- `.env.example` - Added `DISABLED_TOOLS` documentation with examples
+- `.env.docker` - Added `DISABLED_TOOLS` example
+- `package.json` - Version bump to 2.22.14
+- `package.runtime.json` - Version bump to 2.22.14
+
+**Tests (2 files):**
+- `tests/unit/mcp/disabled-tools.test.ts` - 21 comprehensive test scenarios
+- `tests/unit/mcp/disabled-tools-additional.test.ts` - 24 additional test scenarios
+
+**Documentation (2 files):**
+- `DISABLED_TOOLS_TEST_COVERAGE_ANALYSIS.md` - Detailed coverage analysis
+- `DISABLED_TOOLS_TEST_SUMMARY.md` - Executive summary
+
+#### Impact
+
+**Before:**
+- ❌ Multi-tenant deployments showed incorrect diagnostic information
+- ❌ No way to disable problematic tools at deployment level
+- ❌ All-or-nothing approach (either all tools or no tools)
+
+**After:**
+- ✅ Fine-grained control over available tools per deployment
+- ✅ Multi-tenant deployments can hide env-var-based tools
+- ✅ Security hardening via tool filtering
+- ✅ Feature flag support for gradual rollout
+- ✅ Clean, simple configuration via environment variable
+
+#### Technical Details
+
+**Performance:**
+- O(1) lookup performance using `Set<string>`
+- Tested with 1000 tools: filtering completes in <100ms
+- No runtime overhead for tool execution
+
+**Security:**
+- Defense in depth: filtering + runtime rejection
+- Clear error messages prevent information leakage
+- No way to bypass disabled tool restrictions
+
+**Compatibility:**
+- 100% backward compatible
+- No breaking changes
+- Easy rollback (unset environment variable)
+
+Resolves #410

+- **Multi-tenant support**: Enables zero-downtime deployments for SaaS platforms
+- **Security-first**: API keys exported as plaintext - downstream MUST encrypt
+- **Dormant sessions**: Restored sessions recreate transports on first request
+- **Automatic expiration**: Respects `sessionTimeout` setting (default 30 min)
+- **MAX_SESSIONS limit**: Caps at 100 concurrent sessions
+
+**Important Implementation Notes:**
+- Only exports sessions with valid n8nApiUrl and n8nApiKey in context
+- Skips expired sessions during both export and restore
+- Uses `validateInstanceContext()` for data integrity checks
+- Handles null/invalid session gracefully with warnings
+- Session metadata (timestamps) and context (credentials) are persisted
+- Transport and server objects are NOT persisted (recreated on-demand)
+
+**Testing:**
+- 22 unit tests covering export, restore, edge cases, and round-trip cycles
+- Tests use current timestamps to avoid expiration issues
+- Integration with multi-tenant backends documented in README.md

-# n8n-MCP Telemetry Analysis Report
-## Error Patterns and Troubleshooting Analysis (90-Day Period)
-
-**Report Date:** November 8, 2025
-**Analysis Period:** August 10, 2025 - November 8, 2025
-**Data Freshness:** Live (last updated Oct 31, 2025)
-
----
-
-## Executive Summary
-
-This telemetry analysis examined 506K+ events across the n8n-MCP system to identify critical pain points for AI agents. The findings reveal that while core tool success rates are high (96-100%), specific validation and configuration challenges create friction that impacts developer experience.
-
-### Key Findings
-
-1. **8,859 total errors** across 90 days with significant volatility (28 to 406 errors/day), suggesting systemic issues triggered by specific conditions rather than constant problems
-
-2. **Validation failures dominate error landscape** with 34.77% of all errors being ValidationError, followed by TypeError (31.23%) and generic Error (30.60%)
-
-3. **Specific tools show concerning failure patterns**: `get_node_info` (11.72% failure rate), `get_node_documentation` (4.13%), and `validate_node_operation` (6.42%) struggle with reliability
-
-4. **Most common error: Workflow-level validation** represents 39.11% of validation errors, indicating widespread issues with workflow structure validation
-
-5. **Tool usage patterns reveal critical bottlenecks**: Sequential tool calls like `n8n_update_partial_workflow->n8n_update_partial_workflow` take average 55.2 seconds with 66% being slow transitions
-
-### Immediate Action Items
-
-- Fix `get_node_info` reliability (11.72% error rate vs. 0-4% for similar tools)
-- Improve workflow validation error messages to help users understand structure problems
-- Optimize sequential update operations that show 55+ second latencies
-- Address validation test coverage gaps (38,000+ "Node*" placeholder nodes triggering errors)
-
----
-
-## 1. Error Analysis
-
-### 1.1 Overall Error Volume and Frequency
-
-**Raw Statistics:**
-- **Total error events (90 days):** 8,859
-- **Average daily errors:** 60.68
-- **Peak error day:** 276 errors (October 30, 2025)
-- **Days with errors:** 36 out of 90 (40%)
-- **Error-free days:** 54 (60%)
-
-**Trend Analysis:**
-- High volatility with swings of -83.72% to +567.86% day-to-day
-- October 12 saw a 567.86% spike (28 → 187 errors), suggesting a deployment or system event
-- October 10-11 saw 57.64% drop, possibly indicating a hotfix
-- Current trajectory: Stabilizing around 130-160 errors/day (last 10 days)
-
-**Distribution Over Time:**
-```
-Peak Error Days (Top 5):
-  2025-09-26: 6,222 validation errors
-  2025-10-04: 3,585 validation errors
-  2025-10-05: 3,344 validation errors
-  2025-10-07: 2,858 validation errors
-  2025-10-06: 2,816 validation errors
-
-Pattern: Late September peak followed by elevated plateau through early October
-```
-
-### 1.2 Error Type Breakdown
-
-| Error Type | Count | % of Total | Days Occurred | Severity |
-|------------|-------|-----------|---------------|----------|
-| ValidationError | 3,080 | 34.77% | 36 | High |
-| TypeError | 2,767 | 31.23% | 36 | High |
-| Error (generic) | 2,711 | 30.60% | 36 | High |
-| SqliteError | 202 | 2.28% | 32 | Medium |
-| unknown_error | 89 | 1.00% | 3 | Low |
-| MCP_server_timeout | 6 | 0.07% | 1 | Critical |
-| MCP_server_init_fail | 3 | 0.03% | 1 | Critical |
-
-**Critical Insight:** 96.6% of errors are validation-related (ValidationError, TypeError, generic Error). This suggests the issue is primarily in configuration validation logic, not core infrastructure.
-
-**Detailed Error Categories:**
-
-**ValidationError (3,080 occurrences - 34.77%)**
-- Primary source: Workflow structure validation
-- Trigger: Invalid node configurations, missing required fields
-- Impact: Users cannot deploy workflows until fixed
-- Trend: Consistent daily occurrence (100% days affected)
-
-**TypeError (2,767 occurrences - 31.23%)**
-- Pattern: Type mismatches in node properties
-- Common scenario: String passed where number expected, or vice versa
-- Impact: Workflow validation failures, tool invocation errors
-- Indicates: Need for better type enforcement or clearer schema documentation
-
-**Generic Error (2,711 occurrences - 30.60%)**
-- Least helpful category; lacks actionable context
-- Likely source: Unhandled exceptions in validation pipeline
-- Recommendations: Implement error code system with specific error types
-- Impact on DX: Users cannot determine root cause
-

-
-## 2. Validation Error Patterns
-
-### 2.1 Validation Errors by Node Type
-
-**Problematic Findings:**
-
-| Node Type | Error Count | Days | % of Validation Errors | Issue |
-|-----------|------------|------|----------------------|--------|
-| workflow | 21,423 | 36 | 39.11% | **CRITICAL** - 39% of all validation errors at workflow level |
-| [KEY] | 656 | 35 | 1.20% | Property key validation failures |
-| ______ | 643 | 33 | 1.17% | Placeholder nodes (test data) |
-| Webhook | 435 | 35 | 0.79% | Webhook configuration issues |
-| HTTP_Request | 212 | 29 | 0.39% | HTTP node validation issues |
-
-**Major Concern: Placeholder Node Names**
-
-The presence of generic placeholder names (Node0-Node19, [KEY], ______, _____) represents 4,700+ errors. These appear to be:
-1. Test data that wasn't cleaned up
-2. Incomplete workflow definitions from users
-3. Validation test cases creating noise in telemetry
-
-**Workflow-Level Validation (21,423 errors - 39.11%)**
-
-This is the single largest error category. Issues include:
-- Missing start nodes (triggers)
-- Invalid node connections
-- Circular dependencies
-- Missing required node properties
-- Type mismatches in connections
-
-**Critical Action:** Improve workflow validation error messages to provide specific guidance on what structure requirement failed.
-
-### 2.2 Node-Specific Validation Issues
-
-**High-Risk Node Types:**
-- **Webhook**: 435 errors - likely authentication/path configuration issues
-- **HTTP_Request**: 212 errors - likely header/body configuration problems
-- **Database nodes**: Not heavily represented, suggesting better validation
-- **AI/Code nodes**: Minimal representation in error data
-
-**Pattern Observation:** Trigger nodes (Webhook, Webhook_Trigger) appear in validation errors, suggesting connection complexity issues.

-
-### 3.2 Critical Tool Issues
-
-**1. `get_node_info` - 11.72% Failure Rate (CRITICAL)**
-
-- **Failures:** 1,208 out of 10,304 invocations
-- **Impact:** Users cannot retrieve node specifications when building workflows
-- **Likely Cause:**
-  - Database schema mismatches
-  - Missing node documentation
-  - Encoding/parsing errors
-- **Recommendation:** Immediately review error logs for this tool; implement fallback to cache or defaults
-
-**2. `validate_workflow` - 5.50% Failure Rate**
-
-- **Failures:** 536 out of 9,738 invocations
-- **Impact:** Users cannot validate workflows before deployment
-- **Correlation:** Likely related to workflow-level validation errors (39.11% of validation errors)
-- **Root Cause:** Validation logic may not handle all edge cases
-
-**3. `get_node_documentation` - 4.13% Failure Rate**
-
-- **Failures:** 471 out of 11,403 invocations
-- **Impact:** Users cannot access documentation when learning nodes
-- **Pattern:** Documentation retrieval failures compound with `get_node_info` issues
-
-**4. `validate_node_operation` - 6.42% Failure Rate**
-
-- **Failures:** 363 out of 5,654 invocations
-- **Impact:** Configuration validation provides incorrect feedback
-- **Concern:** Could lead to false positives (rejecting valid configs) or false negatives (accepting invalid ones)
-
-### 3.3 Reliable Tools (Baseline for Improvement)
-
-These tools show <1% failure rates and should be used as templates:
-- `search_nodes`: 99.89% (0.11% failure)
-- `n8n_get_workflow`: 99.94% (0.06% failure)
-- `n8n_get_execution`: 99.90% (0.10% failure)
-- `n8n_list_executions`: 100.00% (perfect)
-
-**Common Pattern:** Read-only and list operations are highly reliable, while validation operations are problematic.

-
-## 4. Tool Usage Patterns and Bottlenecks
-
-### 4.1 Sequential Tool Sequences (Most Common)
-
-The telemetry data shows AI agents follow predictable workflows. Analysis of 152K+ hourly tool sequence records reveals critical bottleneck patterns:
-
-| Sequence | Occurrences | Avg Duration | Slow Transitions |
-|----------|------------|--------------|-----------------|
-| update_partial → update_partial | 96,003 | 55.2s | 66% |
-| search_nodes → search_nodes | 68,056 | 11.2s | 17% |
-| get_node_essentials → get_node_essentials | 51,854 | 10.6s | 17% |
-| create_workflow → create_workflow | 41,204 | 54.9s | 80% |
-| search_nodes → get_node_essentials | 28,125 | 19.3s | 34% |
-| get_workflow → update_partial | 27,113 | 53.3s | 84% |
-| update_partial → validate_workflow | 25,203 | 20.1s | 41% |
-| list_executions → get_execution | 23,101 | 13.9s | 22% |
-| validate_workflow → update_partial | 23,013 | 60.6s | 74% |
-| update_partial → get_workflow | 19,876 | 96.6s | 63% |
-
-**Critical Issues Identified:**
-
-1. **Update Loops**: `update_partial → update_partial` has 96,003 occurrences
-   - Average 55.2s between calls
-   - 66% marked as "slow transitions"
-   - Suggests: Users iteratively updating workflows, with network/processing lag
-
-2. **Massive Duration on `update_partial → get_workflow`**: 96.6 seconds average
-   - Users check workflow state after update
-   - High latency suggests possible API bottleneck or large workflow processing
-
-3. **Sequential Search Operations**: 68,056 `search_nodes → search_nodes` calls
-   - Users refining search through multiple queries
-   - Could indicate search results are not meeting needs on first attempt
-
-4. **Read-After-Write Patterns**: Many sequences involve getting/validating after updates
-   - Suggests transactions aren't atomic; users manually verify state
-   - Could be optimized by returning updated state in response
-
-### 4.2 Implications for AI Agents
-
-AI agents exhibit these problematic patterns:
-- **Excessive retries**: Same operation repeated multiple times
-- **State uncertainty**: Need to re-fetch state after modifications
-- **Search inefficiency**: Multiple queries to find right tools/nodes
-- **Long wait times**: Up to 96 seconds between sequential operations
-
-**This creates:**
-- Slower agent response times to users
-- Higher API load and costs
-- Poor user experience (agents appear "stuck")
-- Wasted computational resources
-

-## 5. Session and User Activity Analysis
-
-### 5.1 Engagement Metrics
-
-| Metric | Value | Interpretation |
-|--------|-------|-----------------|
-| Avg Sessions/Day | 895 | Healthy usage |
-| Avg Users/Day | 572 | Growing user base |
-| Avg Sessions/User | 1.52 | Users typically engage once per day |
-| Peak Sessions Day | 1,821 (Oct 22) | Single major engagement spike |
-
-**Notable Date:** October 22, 2025 shows 2.94 sessions per user (vs. typical 1.4-1.6)
-- Could indicate: Feature launch, bug fix, or major update
-- Correlates with error spikes in early October
-
-### 5.2 Session Quality Patterns
-
-- Consistent 600-1,200 sessions daily
-- User base stable at 470-620 users per day
-- Some days show <5% of normal activity (Oct 11: 30 sessions)
-- Weekend vs. weekday patterns not visible in daily aggregates
-

-
-## 6. Search Query Analysis (User Intent)
-
-### 6.1 Most Searched Topics
-
-| Query | Total Searches | Days Searched | User Need |
-|-------|----------------|---------------|-----------|
-| test | 5,852 | 22 | Testing workflows |
-| webhook | 5,087 | 25 | Webhook triggers/integration |
-| http | 4,241 | 22 | HTTP requests |
-| database | 4,030 | 21 | Database operations |
-| api | 2,074 | 21 | API integrations |
-| http request | 1,036 | 22 | HTTP node details |
-| google sheets | 643 | 22 | Google integration |
-| code javascript | 616 | 22 | Code execution |
-| openai | 538 | 22 | AI integrations |
-
-**Key Insights:**
-
-1. **Top 4 searches (19,210 searches, 40% of traffic)**:
-   - Testing (5,852)
-   - Webhooks (5,087)
-   - HTTP (4,241)
-   - Databases (4,030)
-
-2. **Use Case Patterns**:
-   - **Integration-heavy**: Webhooks, API, HTTP, Google Sheets (15,000+ searches)
-   - **Logic/Execution**: Code, testing (6,500+ searches)
-   - **AI Integration**: OpenAI mentioned 538 times (trending interest)
-
-3. **Learning Curve Indicators**:
-   - "http request" vs. "http" suggests users searching for specific node
-   - "schedule cron" appears 270 times (scheduling is confusing)
-   - "manual trigger" appears 300 times (trigger types unclear)
-
-**Implication:** Users struggle most with:
-1. HTTP request configuration (1,300+ searches for HTTP-related topics)
-2. Scheduling/triggers (800+ searches for trigger types)
-3. Understanding testing practices (5,852 searches)
-

-
-## 7. Workflow Quality and Validation
-
-### 7.1 Workflow Validation Grades
-
-| Grade | Count | Percentage | Quality Score |
-|-------|-------|-----------|----------------|
-| A | 5,156 | 100% | 100.0 |
-
-**Critical Issue:** Only Grade A workflows in database, despite 39% validation error rate
-
-**Explanation:**
-- The `telemetry_workflows` table captures only successfully ingested workflows
-- Error events are tracked separately in `telemetry_errors_daily`
-- Failed workflows never make it to the workflows table
-- This creates a survivorship bias in quality metrics
-
-**Real Story:**
-- 7,869 workflows attempted
-- 5,156 successfully validated (65.5% success rate implied)
-- 2,713 workflows failed validation (34.5% failure rate implied)
-
----
-
-## 8. Top 5 Issues Impacting AI Agent Success
-
-Ranked by severity and impact:
-
-### Issue 1: Workflow-Level Validation Failures (39.11% of validation errors)

-- No guidance on what structure requirement failed
-- Forces agents to retry with different structures
-
-**Quick Win:** Enhance workflow validation error messages to specify which structural requirement failed
-
-**Implementation Effort:** Medium (2-3 days)
-
----
-
-### Issue 2: `get_node_info` Unreliability (11.72% failure rate)
-
-**Problem:** 1,208 failures out of 10,304 invocations
-
-**Root Causes:**
-- Likely missing node documentation or schema
-- Encoding issues with complex node definitions
-- Database connectivity problems during specific queries
-
-**AI Agent Impact:**
-- Agents cannot retrieve node specifications when building
-- Fall back to guessing or using incomplete essentials
-- Creates cascading validation errors
-- Slows down workflow creation
-
-**Quick Win:** Add retry logic with exponential backoff; implement fallback to cache
-
-**Implementation Effort:** Low (1 day)
-
----
-
-### Issue 3: Slow Sequential Update Operations (96,003 occurrences, avg 55.2s)
-
-**Problem:** `update_partial_workflow → update_partial_workflow` takes avg 55.2 seconds with 66% slow transitions
-
-**Root Causes:**
-- Network latency between operations
-- Large workflow serialization
-- Possible blocking on previous operations
-- No batch update capability
-
-**AI Agent Impact:**
-- Agents wait 55+ seconds between sequential modifications
-- Workflow construction takes minutes instead of seconds
-- Poor perceived performance
-- Users abandon incomplete workflows
-
-**Quick Win:** Implement batch workflow update operation
-
-**Implementation Effort:** High (5-7 days)
-
----
-
-### Issue 4: Search Result Relevancy Issues (68,056 `search_nodes → search_nodes` calls)
-
-**Problem:** Users perform multiple search queries in sequence (17% slow transitions)
-
-**Root Causes:**
-- Initial search results don't match user intent
-- Search ranking algorithm suboptimal
-- Users unsure of node names
-- Broad searches returning too many results
-
-**AI Agent Impact:**
-- Agents make multiple search attempts to find right node
-- Increases API calls and latency
-- Uncertainty in node selection
-- Compounds with slow subsequent operations
-
-**Quick Win:** Analyze top 50 repeated search sequences; improve ranking for high-volume queries
-
-**Implementation Effort:** Medium (3 days)
-
----
-
-### Issue 5: `validate_node_operation` Inaccuracy (6.42% failure rate)
-
-**Problem:** 363 failures out of 5,654 invocations; validation provides unreliable feedback
-
-**Root Causes:**
-- Validation logic doesn't handle all node operation combinations
-- Missing edge case handling
-- Validator version mismatches
-- Property dependency logic incomplete
-
-**AI Agent Impact:**
-- Agents may trust invalid configurations (false positives)
-- Or reject valid ones (false negatives)
-- Either way: Unreliable feedback breaks agent judgment
-- Forces manual verification
-
-**Quick Win:** Add telemetry to capture validation false positive/negative cases
-
-**Implementation Effort:** Medium (4 days)
-

-## Conclusion
-
-The n8n-MCP telemetry analysis reveals that while core infrastructure is robust (most tools >99% reliability), there are five critical issues preventing optimal AI agent success:
-
-1. **Workflow validation feedback** (39% of errors) - lack of actionable error messages
-2. **Tool reliability** (11.72% failure rate for `get_node_info`) - critical information retrieval failures
-3. **Performance bottlenecks** (55+ second sequential updates) - slow workflow construction
-4. **Search inefficiency** (multiple searches needed) - poor discoverability
-5. **Validation accuracy** (6.42% failure rate) - unreliable configuration feedback
-
-Implementing the Priority 1 recommendations would address 75% of user-facing issues and dramatically improve AI agent performance. The remaining improvements would optimize performance and user experience further.
-
-All recommendations include implementation effort estimates and expected benefits to help with prioritization.

-## The 5 Critical Issues
-
-### 1. Workflow-Level Validation Failures (39% of errors)
-
-**Problem:** 21,423 errors from unspecified workflow structure violations
-
-**What Users See:**
-- "Validation failed" (no indication of what's wrong)
-- Cannot deploy workflows
-- Must guess what structure requirement violated
-
-**Impact:** Users abandon workflows; AI agents retry blindly
-
-**Fix:** Provide specific error messages explaining exactly what failed
-- "Missing start trigger node"
-- "Type mismatch in node connection"
-- "Required property missing: URL"
-
-**Effort:** 2 days | **Impact:** High | **Priority:** 1
-
----
-
-### 2. `get_node_info` Unreliability (11.72% failure rate)
-
-**Problem:** 1,208 failures out of 10,304 calls to retrieve node information
-
-**What Users See:**
-- Cannot load node specifications when building workflows
-- Missing information about node properties
-- Forced to use incomplete data (fallback to essentials)
-
-**Impact:** Workflows built with wrong configuration assumptions; validation failures cascade
-
-**Fix:** Add retry logic, caching, and fallback mechanism
-
-**Effort:** 1 day | **Impact:** High | **Priority:** 1
-
----
-
-### 3. Slow Sequential Updates (55+ seconds per operation)
-
-**Problem:** 96,003 sequential workflow updates take average 55.2 seconds each
-
-**What Users See:**
-- Workflow construction takes minutes instead of seconds
-- "System appears stuck" (agent waiting 55s between operations)
-- Poor user experience
-
-**Impact:** Users abandon complex workflows; slow AI agent response
-
-**Fix:** Implement batch update operation (apply multiple changes in 1 call)
-
-**Effort:** 2-3 days | **Impact:** Critical | **Priority:** 1
-
----
-
-### 4. Search Inefficiency (17% retry rate)
-
-**Problem:** 68,056 sequential search calls; users need multiple searches to find nodes
-
-**What Users See:**
-- Search for "http" doesn't show "HTTP Request" in top results
-- Users refine search 2-3 times
-- Extra API calls and latency
-
-**Impact:** Slower node discovery; AI agents waste API calls
-
-**Fix:** Improve search ranking for high-volume queries
-
-**Effort:** 2 days | **Impact:** Medium | **Priority:** 2
-
----
-
-### 5. Type-Related Validation Errors (31.23% of errors)
-
-**Problem:** 2,767 TypeError occurrences from configuration mismatches
-
-**What Users See:**
-- Node validation fails due to type mismatch
-- "string vs. number" errors without clear resolution
-- Configuration seems correct but validation fails
-
-**Impact:** Users unsure of correct configuration format
-
-**Fix:** Implement strict type system; add TypeScript types for common nodes
-
-**Effort:** 3 days | **Impact:** Medium | **Priority:** 2
-

-
----
-
-## Stakeholder Questions & Answers
-
-**Q: Why are there so many validation errors if most tools work (96%+)?**
-
-A: Validation happens in a separate system. Core tools are reliable, but validation feedback is poor. Users create invalid workflows, validation rejects them generically, and users can't understand why.
-
-**Q: Is the system unstable?**
-
-A: No. Infrastructure is stable (99% uptime estimated). The issue is usability: errors are generic and operations are slow.
-
-**Q: Should we defer fixes until next quarter?**
-
-A: No. Every day of 60+ daily errors compounds user frustration. Early fixes have highest ROI (1 week = 40-50% improvement).
-
-**Q: What about the Oct 30 spike (276 errors)?**
-
-A: Likely specific trigger (batch test, migration). Current baseline is 60-65 errors/day, which is sustainable but improvable.
-
-**Q: Which issue is most urgent?**
-
-A: `get_node_info` reliability. It's the foundation for everything else. Without it, users can't build workflows correctly.

-## Detailed Error Patterns and Root Cause Analysis
-
----
-
-## 1. ValidationError Root Causes (3,080 occurrences)
-
-### 1.1 Workflow Structure Validation (21,423 node-level errors - 39.11%)
-
-**Error Distribution by Node:**
-- `workflow` node: 21,423 errors (39.11%)
-- Generic nodes (Node0-19): ~6,000 errors (11%)
-- Placeholder nodes ([KEY], ______, _____): ~1,600 errors (3%)
-- Real nodes (Webhook, HTTP_Request): ~600 errors (1%)
-
-**Interpreted Issue Categories:**
-
-1. **Missing Trigger Nodes (Estimated 35-40% of workflow errors)**
-   - Users create workflows without start trigger
-   - Validation requires at least one trigger (webhook, schedule, etc.)
-   - Error message: Generic "validation failed" doesn't specify missing trigger
-
-2. **Invalid Node Connections (Estimated 25-30% of workflow errors)**
-   - Nodes connected in wrong order
-   - Output type mismatch between connected nodes
-   - Circular dependencies created
-   - Example: Trying to use output of node that hasn't run yet
-
-3. **Type Mismatches (Estimated 20-25% of workflow errors)**
-   - Node expects array, receives string
-   - Node expects object, receives primitive
-   - Related to TypeError errors (2,767 occurrences)
-
-4. **Missing Required Properties (Estimated 10-15% of workflow errors)**
-   - Webhook nodes missing path/method
-   - HTTP nodes missing URL
-   - Database nodes missing connection string
-
-### 1.2 Placeholder Node Test Data (4,700+ errors)
-
-**Problem:** Generic test node names creating noise
-
-```
-Node0-Node19:    ~6,000+ errors
-[KEY]:           656 errors
-______ (6 underscores): 643 errors
-_____ (5 underscores): 207 errors
-______ (8 underscores): 227 errors
-```
-
-**Evidence:** These names appear in telemetry_validation_errors_daily
-- Consistent across 25-36 days
-- Indicates: System test data or user test workflows
-
-**Action Required:**
-1. Filter test data from telemetry (add flag for test vs. production)
-2. Clean up existing test workflows from database
-3. Implement test isolation so test events don't pollute metrics
-
-### 1.3 Webhook Validation Issues (435 errors)
-
-**Webhook-Specific Problems:**
-
-```
-Error Pattern Analysis:
-- Webhook: 435 errors
-- Webhook_Trigger: 293 errors
-- Total Webhook-related: 728 errors (~1.3% of validation errors)
-```
-
-**Common Webhook Failures:**
-1. **Missing Required Fields:**
-   - No HTTP method specified (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE)
-   - No URL path configured
-   - No authentication method selected
-
-2. **Configuration Errors:**
-   - Invalid URL patterns (special characters, spaces)
-   - Incorrect CORS settings
-   - Missing body for POST/PUT operations
-   - Header format issues
-
-3. **Connection Issues:**
-   - Firewall/network blocking
-   - Unsupported protocol (HTTP vs HTTPS mismatch)
-   - TLS version incompatibility
-
----
-
-## 2. TypeError Root Causes (2,767 occurrences)
-
-### 2.1 Type Mismatch Categories
-
-**Pattern Analysis:**
-- 31.23% of all errors
-- Indicates schema/type enforcement issues
-- Overlaps with ValidationError (both types occur together)
-
-### 2.2 Common Type Mismatches
-
-**JSON Property Errors (Estimated 40% of TypeErrors):**
-```
-Problem: properties field in telemetry_events is JSONB
-Possible Issues:
-- Passing string "true" instead of boolean true
-- Passing number as string "123"
-- Passing array [value] instead of scalar value
-- Nested object structure violations
-```
-
-**Node Property Errors (Estimated 35% of TypeErrors):**
-```
-HTTP Request Node Example:
-- method: Expects "GET" | "POST" | etc., receives 1, 0 (numeric)
-- timeout: Expects number (ms), receives string "5000"
-- headers: Expects object {key: value}, receives string "[object Object]"
-```
-
-**Expression Errors (Estimated 25% of TypeErrors):**
-```
-n8n Expressions Example:
-- $json.count expects number, receives $json.count_str (string)
-- $node[nodeId].data expects array, receives single object
-- Missing type conversion: parseInt(), String(), etc.
-```
-
-### 2.3 Type Validation System Gaps
-
-**Current System Weakness:**
-- JSONB storage in Postgres doesn't enforce types
-- Validation happens at application layer
-- No real-time type checking during workflow building
-- Type errors only discovered at validation time
-
-**Recommended Fixes:**
-1. Implement strict schema validation in node parser
-2. Add TypeScript definitions for all node properties
-3. Generate type stubs from node definitions
-4. Validate types during property extraction phase
-
----
-
-## 3. Generic Error Root Causes (2,711 occurrences)
-
-### 3.1 Why Generic Errors Are Problematic
-
-**Current Classification:**
-- 30.60% of all errors
-- No error code or subtype
-- Indicates unhandled exception scenario
-- Prevents automated recovery
-
-**Likely Sources:**
-
-1. **Database Connection Errors (Estimated 30%)**
-   - Timeout during validation query
-   - Connection pool exhaustion
-   - Query too large/complex
-
-2. **Out of Memory Errors (Estimated 20%)**
-   - Large workflow processing
-   - Huge node count (100+ nodes)
-   - Property extraction on complex nodes
-
-3. **Unhandled Exceptions (Estimated 25%)**
-   - Code path not covered by specific error handling
-   - Unexpected input format
-   - Missing null checks
-
-4. **External Service Failures (Estimated 15%)**
-   - Documentation fetch timeout
-   - Node package load failure
-   - Network connectivity issues
-
-5. **Unknown Issues (Estimated 10%)**
-   - No further categorization available
-
-### 3.2 Error Context Missing
-
-**What We Know:**
-- Error occurred during validation/operation
-- Generic type (Error vs. ValidationError vs. TypeError)
-
-**What We Don't Know:**
-- Which specific validation step failed
-- What input caused the error
-- What operation was in progress
-- Root exception details (stack trace)
-
----
-
-## 4. Tool-Specific Failure Analysis
-
-### 4.1 `get_node_info` - 11.72% Failure Rate (CRITICAL)
-
-**Failure Count:** 1,208 out of 10,304 invocations
-
-**Hypothesis Testing:**
-
-**Hypothesis 1: Missing Database Records (30% likelihood)**
-```
-Scenario: Node definition not in database
-Evidence:
-- 1,208 failures across 36 days
-- Consistent rate suggests systematic gaps
-- New nodes not in database after updates
-
-Solution:
-- Verify database has 525 total nodes
-- Check if failing on node types that exist
-- Implement cache warming
-```
-
-**Hypothesis 2: Encoding/Parsing Issues (40% likelihood)**
-```
-Scenario: Complex node properties fail to parse
-Evidence:
-- Only 11.72% fail (not all complex nodes)
-- Specific to get_node_info, not essentials
-- Likely: edge case in JSONB serialization
-
-Example Problem:
-- Node with circular references
-- Node with very large property tree
-- Node with special characters in documentation
-- Node with unicode/non-ASCII characters
-
-Solution:
-- Add error telemetry to capture failing node names
-- Implement pagination for large properties
-- Add encoding validation
-```
-
-**Hypothesis 3: Concurrent Access Issues (20% likelihood)**
-```
-Scenario: Race condition during node updates
-Evidence:
-- Fails at specific times
-- Not tied to specific node types
-- Affects retrieval, not storage
-
-Solution:
-- Add read locking during updates
-- Implement query timeouts
-- Add retry logic with exponential backoff
-```
-
-**Hypothesis 4: Query Timeout (10% likelihood)**
-```
-Scenario: Database query takes >30s for large nodes
-Evidence:
-- Observed in telemetry tool sequences
-- High latency for some operations
-- System resource constraints
-
-Solution:
-- Add query optimization
-- Implement caching layer
-- Pre-compute common queries
-```
-
-### 4.2 `get_node_documentation` - 4.13% Failure Rate
-
-**Failure Count:** 471 out of 11,403 invocations
-
-**Root Causes (Estimated):**
-
-1. **Missing Documentation (40%)** - Some nodes lack comprehensive docs
-2. **Retrieval Errors (30%)** - Timeout fetching from n8n.io API
-3. **Parsing Errors (20%)** - Documentation format issues
-4. **Encoding Issues (10%)** - Non-ASCII characters in docs
-
-**Pattern:** Correlated with `get_node_info` failures (both documentation retrieval)
-
-### 4.3 `validate_node_operation` - 6.42% Failure Rate
-
-**Failure Count:** 363 out of 5,654 invocations
-
-**Root Causes (Estimated):**
-
-1. **Incomplete Operation Definitions (40%)**
-   - Validator doesn't know all valid operations for node
-   - Operation definitions outdated vs. actual node
-   - New operations not in validator database
-
-2. **Property Dependency Logic Gaps (35%)**
-   - Validator doesn't understand conditional requirements
-   - Missing: "if X is set, then Y is required"
-   - Property visibility rules incomplete
-
-3. **Type Matching Failures (20%)**
-   - Validator expects different type than provided
-   - Type coercion not working
-   - Related to TypeError issues
-
-4. **Edge Cases (5%)**
-   - Unusual property combinations
-   - Boundary conditions
-   - Rarely-used operation modes
-
----
-
-## 5. Temporal Error Patterns
-
-### 5.1 Error Spike Root Causes
-
-**September 26 Spike (6,222 validation errors)**
-- Represents: 70% of September errors in single day
-- Possible causes:
-  1. Batch workflow import test
-  2. Database migration or schema change
-  3. Node definitions updated incompatibly
-  4. System performance issue (slow validation)
-
-**October 12 Spike (567.86% increase: 28 → 187 errors)**
-- Could indicate: System restart, deployment, rollback
-- Recovery pattern: Immediate return to normal
-- Suggests: One-time event, not systemic
-
-**October 3-10 Plateau (2,000+ errors daily)**
-- Duration: 8 days sustained elevation
-- Peak: October 4 (3,585 errors)
-- Recovery: October 11 (83.72% drop to 28 errors)
-- Interpretation: Incident period with mitigation
-
-### 5.2 Current Trend (Oct 30-31)
-
-- Oct 30: 278 errors (elevated)
-- Oct 31: 130 errors (recovering)
-- Baseline: 60-65 errors/day (normal)
-
-**Interpretation:** System health improving; approaching steady state
-
----
-
-## 6. Tool Sequence Performance Bottlenecks
-
-### 6.1 Sequential Update Loop Analysis
-
-**Pattern:** `n8n_update_partial_workflow → n8n_update_partial_workflow`
-- **Occurrences:** 96,003 (highest volume)
-- **Avg Duration:** 55.2 seconds
-- **Slow Transitions:** 63,322 (66%)
-
-**Why This Matters:**
-```
-Scenario: Workflow with 20 property updates
-Current: 20 × 55.2s = 18.4 minutes total
-With batch operation: ~5-10 seconds total
-Improvement: 95%+ faster
-```
-
-**Root Causes:**
-
-1. **No Batch Update Operation (80% likely)**
-   - Each update is separate API call
-   - Each call: parse request + validate + update + persist
-   - No atomicity guarantee
-
-2. **Network Round-Trip Latency (15% likely)**
-   - Each call adds latency
-   - If client/server not co-located: 100-200ms per call
-   - Compounds with update operations
-
-3. **Validation on Each Update (5% likely)**
-   - Full workflow validation on each property change
-   - Could be optimized to field-level validation
-
-**Solution:**
-```typescript
-// Proposed Batch Update Operation
-interface BatchUpdateRequest {
-  workflowId: string;
-  operations: [
-    { type: 'updateNode', nodeId: string, properties: object },
-    { type: 'updateConnection', from: string, to: string, config: object },
-    { type: 'updateSettings', settings: object }
-  ];
-  validateFull: boolean; // Full or incremental validation
-}
-
-// Returns: Updated workflow with all changes applied atomically
-```
-
-### 6.2 Read-After-Write Pattern
-
-**Pattern:** `n8n_update_partial_workflow → n8n_get_workflow`
-- **Occurrences:** 19,876
-- **Avg Duration:** 96.6 seconds
-- **Pattern:** Users verify state after update
-
-**Root Causes:**
-
-1. **Updates Don't Return State (70% likely)**
-   - Update operation returns success/failure
-   - Doesn't return updated workflow state
-   - Forces clients to fetch separately
-
-2. **Verification Uncertainty (20% likely)**
-   - Users unsure if update succeeded completely
-   - Fetch to double-check
-   - Especially with complex multi-node updates
-
-3. **Change Tracking Needed (10% likely)**
-   - Users want to see what changed
-   - Need diff/changelog
-   - Requires full state retrieval
-
-**Solution:**
-```typescript
-// Update response should include:
-{
-  success: true,
-  workflow: { /* full updated workflow */ },
-  changes: {
-    updated_fields: ['nodes[0].name', 'settings.timezone'],
-    added_connections: [{ from: 'node1', to: 'node2' }],
-    removed_nodes: []
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 6.3 Search Inefficiency Pattern
-
-**Pattern:** `search_nodes → search_nodes`
-- **Occurrences:** 68,056
-- **Avg Duration:** 11.2 seconds
-- **Slow Transitions:** 11,544 (17%)
-
-**Root Causes:**
-
-1. **Poor Ranking (60% likely)**
-   - Users search for "http", get results in wrong order
-   - "HTTP Request" node not in top 3 results
-   - Users refine search
-
-2. **Query Term Mismatch (25% likely)**
-   - Users search "webhook trigger"
-   - System searches for exact phrase
-   - Returns 0 results; users try "webhook" alone
-
-3. **Incomplete Result Matching (15% likely)**
-   - Synonym support missing
-   - Category/tag matching weak
-   - Users don't know official node names
-
-**Solution:**
-```
-Analyze top 50 repeated search sequences:
-- "http" → "http request" → "HTTP Request"
-  Action: Rank "HTTP Request" in top 3 for "http" search
-
-- "schedule" → "schedule trigger" → "cron"

-## 7. Validation Accuracy Issues
-
-### 7.1 `validate_workflow` - 5.50% Failure Rate
-
-**Root Causes:**
-
-1. **Incomplete Validation Rules (45%)**
-   - Validator doesn't check all requirements
-   - Missing rules for specific node combinations
-   - Circular dependency detection missing
-
-2. **Schema Version Mismatches (30%)**
-   - Validator schema != actual node schema
-   - Happens after node updates
-   - Validator not updated simultaneously
-
-3. **Performance Timeouts (15%)**
-   - Very large workflows (100+ nodes)
-   - Validation takes >30 seconds
-   - Timeout triggered
-
-4. **Type System Gaps (10%)**
-   - Type checking incomplete
-   - Coercion not working correctly
-   - Related to TypeError issues
-
-### 7.2 `validate_node_operation` - 6.42% Failure Rate
-
-**Root Causes (Estimated):**
-
-1. **Missing Operation Definitions (40%)**
-   - New operations not in validator
-   - Rare operations not covered
-   - Custom operations not supported
-
-2. **Property Dependency Gaps (30%)**
-   - Conditional properties not understood
-   - "If X=Y, then Z is required" rules missing
-   - Visibility logic incomplete
-
-3. **Type Validation Failures (20%)**
-   - Expected type doesn't match provided type
-   - No implicit type coercion
-   - Complex type definitions not validated
-
-4. **Edge Cases (10%)**
-   - Boundary values
-   - Special characters in properties
-   - Maximum length violations
-
----
-
-## 8. Systemic Issues Identified
-
-### 8.1 Validation Error Message Quality
-
-**Current State:**
-```
-❌ "Validation failed"
-❌ "Invalid workflow configuration"
-❌ "Node configuration error"
-```
-
-**What Users Need:**
-```
-✅ "Workflow missing required start trigger node. Add a trigger (Webhook, Schedule, or Manual Trigger)"
-✅ "HTTP Request node 'call_api' missing required URL property"
-✅ "Cannot connect output from 'set_values' (type: string) to 'http_request' input (expects: object)"
-```
-
-**Impact:** Generic errors prevent both users and AI agents from self-correcting
-
-### 8.2 Type System Gaps
-
-**Current System:**
-- JSONB properties in database (no type enforcement)
-- Application-level validation (catches errors late)
-- Limited type definitions for properties
-
-**Gaps:**
-1. No strict schema validation during ingestion
-2. Type coercion not automatic
-3. Complex type definitions (unions, intersections) not supported
-
-### 8.3 Test Data Contamination
-
-**Problem:** 4,700+ errors from placeholder node names
-- Node0-Node19: Generic test nodes
-- [KEY], ______, _______: Incomplete configurations
-- These create noise in real error metrics
-
-**Solution:**
-1. Flag test vs. production data at ingestion
-2. Separate test telemetry database
-3. Filter test data from production analysis
-
----
-
-## 9. Tool Reliability Correlation Matrix
-
-**High Reliability Cluster (99%+ success):**
-- n8n_list_executions (100%)
-- n8n_get_workflow (99.94%)
-- n8n_get_execution (99.90%)
-- search_nodes (99.89%)
-
-**Medium Reliability Cluster (95-99% success):**
-- get_node_essentials (96.19%)
-- n8n_create_workflow (96.35%)
-- get_node_documentation (95.87%)
-- validate_workflow (94.50%)
-
-**Problematic Cluster (<95% success):**
-- get_node_info (88.28%) ← CRITICAL
-- validate_node_operation (93.58%)
-
-**Pattern:** Information retrieval tools have lower success than state manipulation tools
-
-**Hypothesis:** Read operations affected by:
-- Stale caches
-- Missing data
-- Encoding issues
-- Network timeouts
-

-# N8N-MCP Telemetry Analysis: Validation Failures as System Feedback
-
-**Analysis Date:** November 8, 2025
-**Data Period:** September 26 - November 8, 2025 (90 days)
-**Report Type:** Comprehensive Validation Failure Root Cause Analysis
-
----
-
-## Executive Summary
-
-Validation failures in n8n-mcp are NOT system failures—they are the system working exactly as designed, catching configuration errors before deployment. However, the high volume (29,218 validation events across 9,021 users) reveals significant **documentation and guidance gaps** that prevent AI agents from configuring nodes correctly on the first attempt.
-
-### Critical Findings:
-
-1. **100% Retry Success Rate**: When AI agents encounter validation errors, they successfully correct and deploy workflows same-day 100% of the time—proving validation feedback is effective and agents learn quickly.
-
-2. **Top 3 Problematic Areas** (accounting for 75% of errors):
-   - Workflow structure issues (undefined node IDs/names, connection errors): 33.2%
-   - Webhook/trigger configuration: 6.7%
-   - Required field documentation: 7.7%
-
-3. **Tool Usage Insight**: Agents using documentation tools BEFORE attempting configuration have slightly HIGHER error rates (12.6% vs 10.8%), suggesting documentation alone is insufficient—agents need better guidance integrated into tool responses.
-
-4. **Search Query Patterns**: Most common pre-failure searches are generic ("webhook", "http request", "openai") rather than specific node configuration searches, indicating agents are searching for node existence rather than configuration details.
-
-5. **Node-Specific Crisis Points**:
-   - **Webhook/Webhook Trigger**: 127 combined failures (47 unique users)
-   - **AI Agent**: 36 failures (20 users) - missing AI model connections
-   - **Slack variants**: 101 combined failures (7 users)
-   - **Generic nodes** ([KEY], underscores): 275 failures - likely malformed JSON from agents
-

-
-## Detailed Analysis
-
-### 1. Node-Specific Difficulty Ranking
-
-The nodes causing the most validation failures reveal where agent guidance is weakest:
-
-| Rank | Node Type | Failures | Users | Primary Error | Impact |
-|------|-----------|----------|-------|---------------|--------|
-| 1 | Webhook (trigger config) | 127 | 40 | responseNode requires `onError: "continueRegularOutput"` | HIGH |
-| 2 | Slack_Notification | 73 | 2 | Required field "Send Message To" empty; Invalid enum "select" | HIGH |
-| 3 | AI_Agent | 36 | 20 | Missing `ai_languageModel` connection | HIGH |
-| 4 | HTTP_Request | 31 | 13 | Missing required fields (varied) | MEDIUM |
-| 5 | OpenAI | 35 | 8 | Misconfigured model/auth/parameters | MEDIUM |
-| 6 | Airtable_Create_Record | 41 | 1 | Required fields for API records | MEDIUM |
-| 7 | Telegram | 27 | 1 | Operation enum mismatch; Missing Chat ID | MEDIUM |
-
-**Key Insight**: The most problematic nodes are trigger/connector nodes and AI/API integrations—these require deep understanding of external API contracts that our documentation may not adequately convey.
-
----
-
-### 2. Top 10 Validation Error Messages (with specific examples)
-
-These are the precise errors agents encounter. Each one represents a documentation opportunity:
-
-| Rank | Error Message | Count | Affected Users | Interpretation |
-|------|---------------|-------|---|---|
-| 1 | "Duplicate node ID: undefined" | 179 | 20 | **CRITICAL**: Agents generating invalid JSON or malformed workflow structures. Likely JSON parsing issues on LLM side. |
-| 2 | "Single-node workflows only valid for webhooks" | 58 | 47 | Agents don't understand webhook-only constraint. Need explicit documentation. |
-| 3 | "responseNode mode requires onError: 'continueRegularOutput'" | 57 | 33 | Webhook-specific configuration rule not obvious. **Error message is helpful but documentation missing context.** |
-| 4 | "Duplicate node name: undefined" | 61 | 6 | Related to #1—structural issues with node definitions. |
-| 5 | "Multi-node workflow has no connections" | 33 | 24 | Agents don't understand workflow connection syntax. **Need examples in documentation.** |
-| 6 | "Workflow contains a cycle (infinite loop)" | 33 | 19 | Agents not visualizing workflow topology before creating. |
-| 7 | "Required property 'Send Message To' cannot be empty" | 25 | 1 | Slack node properties not obvious from schema. |
-| 8 | "AI Agent requires ai_languageModel connection" | 22 | 15 | Missing documentation on AI node dependencies. |
-| 9 | "Node position must be array [x, y]" | 25 | 4 | Position format not specified in node documentation. |
-| 10 | "Invalid value for 'operation'. Must be one of: [list]" | 14 | 1 | Enum values not provided before validation. |

-### 3. Error Categories & Root Causes
-
-Breaking down all 4,898 validation details events into categories reveals the real problems:
-
-```
-Error Category Distribution:
-┌─────────────────────────────────┬───────────┬──────────┐
-│ Category                        │ Count     │ % of All │
-├─────────────────────────────────┼───────────┼──────────┤

-└─────────────────────────────────┴───────────┴──────────┘
-```
-
-### 3.1 Root Cause Analysis by Category
-
-**[25.89%] Workflow Structure Issues (1,268 errors)**
-- Undefined node IDs/names (likely JSON malformation)
-- Incorrect node position formats
-- Missing required workflow metadata
-- **ROOT CAUSE**: Agents constructing workflow JSON without proper schema understanding. Need better template examples and validation error context.
-
-**[13.80%] Connection/Linking Errors (676 errors)**
-- Multi-node workflows with no connections defined
-- Missing connection syntax in workflow definition
-- Error handler connection misconfigurations
-- **ROOT CAUSE**: Connection format is unintuitive. Sample workflows in documentation critically needed.
-
-**[7.72%] Missing Required Fields (378 errors)**
-- "Send Message To" for Slack
-- "Chat ID" for Telegram
-- "Title" for Google Docs
-- **ROOT CAUSE**: Required fields not clearly marked in `get_node_essentials()` response. Need explicit "REQUIRED" labeling.
-
-**[4.12%] Invalid Field Values/Enums (202 errors)**
-- Invalid "operation" selected
-- Invalid "select" value for choice fields
-- Wrong authentication method type
-- **ROOT CAUSE**: Enum options not provided in advance. Tool should return valid options BEFORE agent attempts configuration.
-
-**[3.02%] Error Handler Configuration (148 errors)**
-- ResponseNode mode setup
-- onError settings for async operations
-- Error output connections in wrong position
-- **ROOT CAUSE**: Error handling is complex; needs dedicated tutorial/examples in documentation.
-
----
-
-### 4. Tool Usage Pattern: Before Validation Failures
-
-This reveals what agents attempt BEFORE hitting errors:
-
-```
-Tools Used Before Failures (within 10 minutes):
-┌─────────────────────────────────────┬──────────┬────────┐
-│ Tool                                │ Count    │ Users  │
-├─────────────────────────────────────┼──────────┼────────┤
-│ search_nodes                        │ 320      │ 113    │ ← Most common
-│ get_node_essentials                 │ 177      │ 73     │ ← Documentation users
-│ validate_workflow                   │ 137      │ 47     │ ← Validation-checking
-│ tools_documentation                 │ 78       │ 67     │ ← Help-seeking
-│ n8n_update_partial_workflow         │ 72       │ 32     │ ← Fixing attempts
-├─────────────────────────────────────┼──────────┼────────┤
-│ INSIGHT: "search_nodes" (320) is    │          │        │
-│ 1.8x more common than              │          │        │
-│ "get_node_essentials" (177)         │          │        │
-└─────────────────────────────────────┴──────────┴────────┘
-```
-
-**Critical Insight**: Agents search for nodes before reading detailed documentation. They're trying to locate a node first, then attempt configuration without sufficient guidance. The search_nodes tool should provide better configuration hints.
-
----
-
-### 5. Search Queries Before Failures
-
-Most common search patterns when agents subsequently fail:
-
-| Query | Count | Users | Interpretation |
-|-------|-------|-------|---|
-| "webhook" | 34 | 16 | Generic search; 3.4min before failure |
-| "http request" | 32 | 20 | Generic search; 4.1min before failure |
-| "openai" | 23 | 7 | Generic search; 3.4min before failure |
-| "slack" | 16 | 9 | Generic search; 6.1min before failure |
-| "gmail" | 12 | 4 | Generic search; 0.1min before failure |
-| "telegram" | 10 | 10 | Generic search; 5.8min before failure |
-
-**Finding**: Searches are too generic. Agents search "webhook" then fail on "responseNode configuration"—they found the node but don't understand its specific requirements. Need **operation-specific search results**.
-
----
-
-### 6. Documentation Usage Impact
-
-Critical finding on effectiveness of reading documentation FIRST:
-
-```
-Documentation Impact Analysis:
-┌──────────────────────────────────┬───────────┬─────────┬──────────┐
-│ Group                            │ Total     │ Errors  │ Success  │
-│                                  │ Users     │ Rate    │ Rate     │
-├──────────────────────────────────┼───────────┼─────────┼──────────┤
-│ Read Documentation FIRST         │ 2,304     │ 12.6%   │ 87.4%    │
-│ Did NOT Read Documentation       │ 673       │ 10.8%   │ 89.2%    │
-└──────────────────────────────────┴───────────┴─────────┴──────────┘
-
-Result: Counter-intuitive!
-- Documentation readers have 1.8% HIGHER error rate
-- BUT they attempt MORE workflows (21,748 vs 3,869)
-- Interpretation: Advanced users read docs and attempt complex workflows
-```
-
-**Critical Implication**: Current documentation doesn't prevent errors. We need **better, more actionable documentation**, not just more documentation. Documentation should have:
-1. Clear required field callouts
-2. Example configurations
-3. Common pitfall warnings
-4. Operation-specific guidance
-
----
-
-### 7. Retry Success & Self-Correction
-
-**Excellent News**: Agents learn from validation errors immediately:
-
-```
-Same-Day Recovery Rate: 100% ✓
-
-Distribution of Successful Corrections:
-- Same day (within hours):         453 user-date pairs (100%)
-- Next day:                        108 user-date pairs (100%)
-- Within 2-3 days:                 67 user-date pairs (100%)
-- Within 4-7 days:                 33 user-date pairs (100%)
-
-Conclusion: ALL users who encounter validation errors subsequently
-           succeed in correcting them. Validation feedback works perfectly.
-           The system is teaching agents what's wrong.
-```
-
-**This validates the premise: Validation is not broken. Guidance is broken.**
-
----
-
-### 8. Property-Level Difficulty Matrix
-
-Which specific node properties cause the most confusion:
-
-**High-Difficulty Properties** (frequently empty/invalid):
-1. **Authentication fields** (universal across nodes)
-   - Missing/invalid credentials
-   - Wrong auth type selected
-
-2. **Operation/Action fields** (conditional requirements)
-   - Invalid enum selection
-   - No documentation of valid values
-
-3. **Connection-dependent fields** (webhook, AI nodes)
-   - Missing model selection (AI Agent)
-   - Missing error handler connection
-
-4. **Positional/structural fields**
-   - Node position array format
-   - Connection syntax
-
-5. **Required-but-optional-looking fields**
-   - "Send Message To" for Slack
-   - "Chat ID" for Telegram
-
-**Common Pattern**: Fields that are:
-- Conditional (visible only if other field = X)
-- Have complex validation (must be array of specific format)
-- Require external knowledge (valid enum values)
-
-...are the most error-prone.
-
----
-
-## Actionable Recommendations
-
-### PRIORITY 1: IMMEDIATE HIGH-IMPACT (Fixes 33% of errors)
-
-#### 1.1 Fix Webhook Configuration Documentation
-**Impact**: 127 failures, 40 unique users
-
-**Action Items**:
-- Create a dedicated "Webhook & Trigger Configuration" guide
-- Explicitly document the `responseNode mode` requires `onError: "continueRegularOutput"` rule
-- Provide before/after examples showing correct vs incorrect configuration
-- Add to `get_node_essentials()` for Webhook nodes: "⚠️ IMPORTANT: If using responseNode, add onError field"
-
-**SQL Query for Verification**:
-```sql
-SELECT
-  properties->>'nodeType' as node_type,
-  properties->'details'->>'message' as error_message,
-  COUNT(*) as count
-FROM telemetry_events
-WHERE event = 'validation_details'
-  AND properties->>'nodeType' IN ('Webhook', 'Webhook_Trigger')
-  AND created_at >= NOW() - INTERVAL '90 days'
-GROUP BY node_type, properties->'details'->>'message'
-ORDER BY count DESC;
-```
-
-**Expected Outcome**: 10-15% reduction in webhook-related failures
-
----
-
-#### 1.2 Fix Node Structure Error Messages
-**Impact**: 179 "Duplicate node ID: undefined" failures
-
-**Action Items**:
-1. When validation fails with "Duplicate node ID: undefined", provide:
-   - Exact line number in workflow JSON where the error occurs
-   - Example of correct node ID format
-   - Suggestion: "Did you forget the 'id' field in node definition?"
-
-2. Enhance `n8n_validate_workflow` to detect structural issues BEFORE attempting validation:
-   - Check all nodes have `id` field
-   - Check all nodes have `type` field
-   - Provide detailed structural report
-
-**Code Location**: `/src/services/workflow-validator.ts`
-
-**Expected Outcome**: 50-60% reduction in "undefined" node errors
-
----
-
-#### 1.3 Enhance Tool Responses with Required Field Callouts
-**Impact**: 378 "Missing required field" failures
-
-**Action Items**:
-1. Modify `get_node_essentials()` output to clearly mark REQUIRED fields:
-   ```
-   Before:
-   "properties": { "operation": {...} }
-
-   After:
-   "properties": {
-     "operation": {..., "required": true, "required_label": "⚠️ REQUIRED"}
-   }
-   ```
-
-2. In `validate_node_operation()` response, explicitly list:
-   - Which fields are required for this specific operation
-   - Which fields are conditional (depend on other field values)
-   - Example values for each field
-
-3. Add to tool documentation:
-   ```
-   get_node_essentials returns only essential properties.
-   For complete property list including all conditionals, use get_node_info().
-   ```
-
-**Code Location**: `/src/services/property-filter.ts`
-
-**Expected Outcome**: 60-70% reduction in "missing required field" errors
-
----
-
-### PRIORITY 2: MEDIUM-IMPACT (Fixes 25% of remaining errors)
-
-#### 2.1 Fix Workflow Connection Documentation
-**Impact**: 676 connection/linking errors, 429 unique node types
-
-**Action Items**:
-1. Create "Workflow Connections Explained" guide with:
-   - Diagram showing connection syntax
-   - Step-by-step connection building examples
-   - Common connection patterns (sequential, branching, error handling)
-
-2. Enhance error message for "Multi-node workflow has no connections":
-   ```
-   Before:
-   "Multi-node workflow has no connections.
-    Nodes must be connected to create a workflow..."
-
-   After:
-   "Multi-node workflow has no connections.
-    You created nodes: [list]
-    Add connections to link them. Example:
-    connections: {
-      'Node 1': { 'main': [[{ 'node': 'Node 2', 'type': 'main', 'index': 0 }]] }
-    }
-    For visual guide, see: [link to guide]"
-   ```
-
-3. Add sample workflow templates showing proper connections
-   - Simple: Trigger → Action
-   - Branching: If node splitting to multiple paths
-   - Error handling: Node with error catch
-
-**Code Location**: `/src/services/workflow-validator.ts` (error messages)
-
-**Expected Outcome**: 40-50% reduction in connection errors
-
----
-
-#### 2.2 Provide Valid Enum Values in Tool Responses
-**Impact**: 202 "Invalid value" errors for enum fields
-
-**Action Items**:
-1. Modify `validate_node_operation()` to return:
-   ```json
-   {
-     "success": false,
-     "errors": [{
-       "field": "operation",
-       "message": "Invalid value 'sendMsg' for operation",
-       "valid_options": [
-         "deleteMessage",
-         "editMessageText",
-         "sendMessage"
-       ],
-       "documentation": "https://..."
-     }]
-   }
-   ```
-
-2. In `get_node_essentials()`, for enum/choice fields, include:
-   ```json
-   "operation": {
-     "type": "choice",
-     "options": [
-       {"label": "Send Message", "value": "sendMessage"},
-       {"label": "Delete Message", "value": "deleteMessage"}
-     ]
-   }
-   ```
-
-**Code Location**: `/src/services/enhanced-config-validator.ts`
-
-**Expected Outcome**: 80%+ reduction in enum selection errors
-
----
-
-#### 2.3 Fix AI Agent Node Documentation
-**Impact**: 36 AI Agent failures, 20 unique users
-
-**Action Items**:
-1. Add prominent warning in `get_node_essentials()` for AI Agent:
-   ```
-   "⚠️ CRITICAL: AI Agent requires a language model connection.
-    You must add one of: OpenAI Chat Model, Anthropic Chat Model,
-    Google Gemini, or other LLM nodes before this node.
-    See example: [link]"
-   ```
-
-2. Create "Building AI Workflows" guide showing:
-   - Required model node placement
-   - Connection syntax for AI models
-   - Common model configuration
-
-3. Add validation check: AI Agent node must have incoming connection from an LLM node
-
-**Code Location**: `/src/services/node-specific-validators.ts`
-
-**Expected Outcome**: 80-90% reduction in AI Agent failures
-
----
-
-### PRIORITY 3: MEDIUM-IMPACT (Fixes remaining issues)
-
-#### 3.1 Improve Search Results Quality
-**Impact**: 320+ tool uses before failures; search too generic
-
-**Action Items**:
-1. When `search_nodes` finds a node, include:
-   - Top 3 most common operations for that node
-   - Most critical required fields
-   - Link to configuration guide
-   - Example workflow snippet
-
-2. Add operation-specific search:
-   ```
-   search_nodes("webhook trigger with validation")
-   → Returns Webhook node with:
-      - Best operations for your query
-      - Configuration guide for validation
-      - Error handler setup guide
-   ```
-
-**Code Location**: `/src/mcp/tools.ts` (search_nodes definition)
-
-**Expected Outcome**: 20-30% reduction in search-before-failure incidents
-
----
-
-#### 3.2 Enhance Error Handler Documentation
-**Impact**: 148 error handler configuration failures
-
-**Action Items**:
-1. Create dedicated "Error Handling in Workflows" guide:
-   - When to use error handlers
-   - `onError` options explained (continueRegularOutput vs continueErrorOutput)
-   - Connection positioning rules
-   - Complete working example
-
-2. Add validation error with visual explanation:
-   ```
-   Error: "Node X has onError: continueErrorOutput but no error
-           connections in main[1]"
-
-   Solution: Add error handler or change onError to 'continueRegularOutput'
-
-   INCORRECT:         CORRECT:
-   main[0]: [Node Y]  main[0]: [Node Y]
-                      main[1]: [Error Handler]
-   ```
-
-**Code Location**: `/src/services/workflow-validator.ts`
-
-**Expected Outcome**: 70%+ reduction in error handler failures
-
----
-
-#### 3.3 Create "Node Type Corrections" Guide
-**Impact**: 88 "Unknown node type" errors
-
-**Action Items**:
-1. Add helpful suggestions when unknown node type detected:
-   ```
-   Unknown node type: "nodes-base.googleDocsTool"
-
-   Did you mean one of these?
-   - nodes-base.googleDocs (87% match)
-   - nodes-base.googleSheets (72% match)
-
-   Node types must include package prefix: nodes-base.nodeName
-   ```
-
-2. Build fuzzy matcher for common node type mistakes
-
-**Code Location**: `/src/services/workflow-validator.ts`
-
-**Expected Outcome**: 70%+ reduction in unknown node type errors
-
----
-

-
-### SQL to Track Progress
-
-```sql
--- Monitor validation failure trends by node type
-SELECT
-  DATE(created_at) as date,
-  properties->>'nodeType' as node_type,
-  COUNT(*) as failure_count
-FROM telemetry_events
-WHERE event = 'validation_details'
-GROUP BY DATE(created_at), properties->>'nodeType'
-ORDER BY date DESC, failure_count DESC;
-
--- Monitor recovery rates
-WITH failures_then_success AS (
-  SELECT
-    user_id,
-    DATE(created_at) as failure_date,
-    COUNT(*) as failures,
-    SUM(CASE WHEN LEAD(event) OVER (PARTITION BY user_id ORDER BY created_at) = 'workflow_created' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as recovered
-  FROM telemetry_events
-  WHERE event = 'validation_details'
-    AND created_at >= NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days'
-  GROUP BY user_id, DATE(created_at)
-)
-SELECT
-  failure_date,
-  SUM(failures) as total_failures,
-  SUM(recovered) as immediate_recovery,
-  ROUND(100.0 * SUM(recovered) / NULLIF(SUM(failures), 0), 1) as recovery_rate_pct
-FROM failures_then_success
-GROUP BY failure_date
-ORDER BY failure_date DESC;
-```

-
-## Conclusion
-
-The n8n-mcp validation system is working perfectly—it catches errors and provides feedback that agents learn from instantly. The 29,218 validation events over 90 days are not a symptom of system failure; they're evidence that **the system is successfully preventing bad workflows from being deployed**.
-
-The challenge is not validation; it's **guidance quality**. Agents search for nodes but don't read complete documentation before attempting configuration. Our tools don't provide enough context about required fields, valid values, and connection syntax upfront.
-
-By implementing the recommendations above, focusing on:
-1. Clearer required field identification
-2. Better error messages with actionable solutions
-3. More comprehensive workflow structure documentation
-4. Valid enum values provided in advance
-5. Operation-specific configuration guides
-
-...we can reduce validation failures by 50-65% **without weakening validation**, enabling AI agents to configure workflows correctly on the first attempt while maintaining the safety guarantees our validation provides.

-## Appendix A: Complete Error Message Reference
-
-### Top 25 Unique Validation Messages (by frequency)
-
-1. **"Duplicate node ID: 'undefined'"** (179 occurrences)
-   - Root cause: JSON malformation or missing ID field
-   - Solution: Check node structure, ensure all nodes have `id` field
-
-2. **"Duplicate node name: 'undefined'"** (61 occurrences)
-   - Root cause: Missing or undefined node names
-   - Solution: All nodes must have unique non-empty `name` field
-
-3. **"Single-node workflows are only valid for webhook endpoints..."** (58 occurrences)
-   - Root cause: Single-node workflow without webhook
-   - Solution: Add trigger node or use webhook trigger
-
-4. **"responseNode mode requires onError: 'continueRegularOutput'"** (57 occurrences)
-   - Root cause: Webhook configured for response but missing error handling config
-   - Solution: Add `"onError": "continueRegularOutput"` to webhook node
-
-5. **"Workflow contains a cycle (infinite loop)"** (33 occurrences)
-   - Root cause: Circular workflow connections
-   - Solution: Redesign workflow to avoid cycles
-
-6. **"Multi-node workflow has no connections..."** (33 occurrences)
-   - Root cause: Multiple nodes created but not connected
-   - Solution: Add connections array to link nodes
-
-7. **"Required property 'Send Message To' cannot be empty"** (25 occurrences)
-   - Root cause: Slack node missing target channel/user
-   - Solution: Specify either channel or user
-
-8. **"Invalid value for 'select'. Must be one of: channel, user"** (25 occurrences)
-   - Root cause: Wrong enum value for Slack target
-   - Solution: Use either "channel" or "user"
-
-9. **"Node position must be an array with exactly 2 numbers [x, y]"** (25 occurrences)
-   - Root cause: Position not formatted as [x, y] array
-   - Solution: Format as `"position": [100, 200]`
-
-10. **"AI Agent 'AI Agent' requires an ai_languageModel connection..."** (22 occurrences)
-    - Root cause: AI Agent node created without language model
-    - Solution: Add LLM node and connect it

-## Top 3 Problem Areas (75% of all errors)
-
-### 1. Workflow Structure Issues (33.2%)
-**Symptoms**: "Duplicate node ID: undefined", malformed JSON, missing connections
-
-**Impact**: 1,268 errors across 791 unique node types
-
-**Root Cause**: Agents constructing workflow JSON without proper schema understanding
-
-**Quick Fix**: Better error messages pointing to exact location of structural issues
-
----
-
-### 2. Webhook & Trigger Configuration (6.7%)
-**Symptoms**: "responseNode requires onError", single-node workflows, connection rules
-
-**Impact**: 127 failures (47 users) specifically on webhook/trigger setup
-
-**Root Cause**: Complex configuration rules not obvious from documentation
-
-**Quick Fix**: Dedicated webhook guide + inline error messages with examples
-
----
-
-### 3. Required Fields (7.7%)
-**Symptoms**: "Required property X cannot be empty", missing Slack channel, missing AI model
-
-**Impact**: 378 errors; Agents don't know which fields are required
-
-**Root Cause**: Tool responses don't clearly mark required vs optional fields
-
-**Quick Fix**: Add required field indicators to `get_node_essentials()` output
-
----
-
-## Problem Nodes (Top 7)
-
-| Node | Failures | Users | Primary Issue |
-|------|----------|-------|---------------|
-| Webhook/Trigger | 127 | 40 | Error handler configuration rules |
-| Slack Notification | 73 | 2 | Missing "Send Message To" field |

-
-## Agent Behavior: Search Patterns
-
-**Agents search for nodes generically, then fail on specific configuration:**
-
-```
-Most Searched Terms (before failures):
-  "webhook" ................. 34x (failed on: responseNode config)
-  "http request" ............ 32x (failed on: missing required fields)
-  "openai" .................. 23x (failed on: model selection)
-  "slack" ................... 16x (failed on: missing channel/user)
-```
-
-**Insight**: Generic node searches don't help with configuration specifics. Agents need targeted guidance on each node's trickiest fields.
-
----
-
-## The Self-Correction Story (VERY POSITIVE)
-
-When agents get validation errors, they FIX THEM 100% of the time (same day):
-
-```
-Validation Error → Agent Action → Outcome
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-Error event     → Uses feedback → Success
-(4,898 events)     (reads error)   (100%)
-
-Distribution of Corrections:
-  Within same hour ........ 453 cases (100% succeeded)
-  Within next day ......... 108 cases (100% succeeded)
-  Within 2-3 days ......... 67 cases (100% succeeded)
-  Within 4-7 days ......... 33 cases (100% succeeded)
-```
-
-**This proves validation messages are effective. Agents learn instantly. We just need BETTER messages.**
-
----
-
-## Documentation Impact (Surprising Finding)
-
-```
-Paradox: Documentation Readers Have HIGHER Error Rate!
-
-Documentation Readers:   2,304 users | 12.6% error rate | 87.4% success
-Non-Documentation:       673 users   | 10.8% error rate | 89.2% success
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-
-Explanation: Doc readers attempt COMPLEX workflows (6.8x more attempts)
-            Simple workflows have higher natural success rate
-
-Action Item: Documentation should PREVENT errors, not just explain them
-            Need: Better structure, examples, required field callouts
-```
-
----
-

+# Session Persistence API - Production Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+The Session Persistence API enables zero-downtime container deployments in multi-tenant n8n-mcp environments. It allows you to export active MCP session state before shutdown and restore it after restart, maintaining session continuity across container lifecycle events.
+
+**Version:** 2.24.1+
+**Status:** Production-ready
+**Use Cases:** Multi-tenant SaaS, Kubernetes deployments, container orchestration, rolling updates
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Session State Components
+
+Each persisted session contains:
+
+1. **Session Metadata**
+   - `sessionId`: Unique session identifier (UUID v4)
+   - `createdAt`: ISO 8601 timestamp of session creation
+   - `lastAccess`: ISO 8601 timestamp of last activity
+
+2. **Instance Context**
+   - `n8nApiUrl`: n8n instance API endpoint
+   - `n8nApiKey`: n8n API authentication key (plaintext)
+   - `instanceId`: Optional tenant/instance identifier
+   - `sessionId`: Optional session-specific identifier
+   - `metadata`: Optional custom application data
+
+3. **Dormant Session Pattern**
+   - Transport and MCP server objects are NOT persisted
+   - Recreated automatically on first request after restore
+   - Reduces memory footprint during restore
+
+## API Reference
+
+### N8NMCPEngine.exportSessionState()
+
+Exports all active session state for persistence before shutdown.
+
+```typescript
+exportSessionState(): SessionState[]
+```
+
+**Returns:** Array of session state objects containing metadata and credentials
+
+**Example:**
+```typescript
+const sessions = engine.exportSessionState();
+// sessions = [
+//   {
+//     sessionId: '550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000',
+//     metadata: {
+//       createdAt: '2025-11-24T10:30:00.000Z',
+//       lastAccess: '2025-11-24T17:15:32.000Z'
+//     },
+//     context: {
+//       n8nApiUrl: 'https://tenant1.n8n.cloud',
+//       n8nApiKey: 'n8n_api_...',
+//       instanceId: 'tenant-123',
+//       metadata: { userId: 'user-456' }
+//     }
+//   }
+// ]
+```
+
+**Key Behaviors:**
+- Exports only non-expired sessions (within sessionTimeout)
+- Detects and warns about duplicate session IDs
+- Logs security event with session count
+- Returns empty array if no active sessions

+Restores sessions from previously exported state after container restart.
+
+```typescript
+restoreSessionState(sessions: SessionState[]): number
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `sessions`: Array of session state objects from `exportSessionState()`
+
+**Returns:** Number of sessions successfully restored
+
+**Example:**
+```typescript
+const sessions = await loadFromEncryptedStorage();
+const count = engine.restoreSessionState(sessions);
+console.log(`Restored ${count} sessions`);
+```
+
+**Key Behaviors:**
+- Validates session metadata (timestamps, required fields)
+- Skips expired sessions (age > sessionTimeout)
+- Skips duplicate sessions (idempotent)
+- Respects MAX_SESSIONS limit (100 per container)
+- Recreates transports/servers lazily on first request
+- Logs security events for restore success/failure
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Critical: Encrypt Before Storage
+
+**The exported session state contains plaintext n8n API keys.** You MUST encrypt this data before persisting to disk.
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ NEVER DO THIS
+await fs.writeFile('sessions.json', JSON.stringify(sessions));
+
+// ✅ ALWAYS ENCRYPT
+const encrypted = await encryptSessionData(sessions, encryptionKey);
+await saveToSecureStorage(encrypted);
+```
+
+### Recommended Encryption Approach
+
+```typescript
+import crypto from 'crypto';
+
+/**
+ * Encrypt session data using AES-256-GCM
+ */
+async function encryptSessionData(
+  sessions: SessionState[],
+  encryptionKey: Buffer
+): Promise<string> {
+  const iv = crypto.randomBytes(16);
+  const cipher = crypto.createCipheriv('aes-256-gcm', encryptionKey, iv);
+
+  const json = JSON.stringify(sessions);
+  const encrypted = Buffer.concat([
+    cipher.update(json, 'utf8'),
+    cipher.final()
+  ]);
+
+  const authTag = cipher.getAuthTag();
+
+  // Return base64: iv:authTag:encrypted
+  return [
+    iv.toString('base64'),
+    authTag.toString('base64'),
+    encrypted.toString('base64')
+  ].join(':');
+}
+
+/**
+ * Decrypt session data
+ */
+async function decryptSessionData(
+  encryptedData: string,
+  encryptionKey: Buffer
+): Promise<SessionState[]> {
+  const [ivB64, authTagB64, encryptedB64] = encryptedData.split(':');
+
+  const iv = Buffer.from(ivB64, 'base64');
+  const authTag = Buffer.from(authTagB64, 'base64');
+  const encrypted = Buffer.from(encryptedB64, 'base64');
+
+  const decipher = crypto.createDecipheriv('aes-256-gcm', encryptionKey, iv);
+  decipher.setAuthTag(authTag);
+
+  const decrypted = Buffer.concat([
+    decipher.update(encrypted),
+    decipher.final()
+  ]);
+
+  return JSON.parse(decrypted.toString('utf8'));
+}
+```
+
+### Key Management
+
+Store encryption keys securely:
+- **Kubernetes:** Use Kubernetes Secrets with encryption at rest
+- **AWS:** Use AWS Secrets Manager or Parameter Store with KMS
+- **Azure:** Use Azure Key Vault
+- **GCP:** Use Secret Manager
+- **Local Dev:** Use environment variables (NEVER commit to git)
+
+### Security Logging
+
+All session persistence operations are logged with `[SECURITY]` prefix:
+
+```
+[SECURITY] session_export { timestamp, count }
+[SECURITY] session_restore { timestamp, sessionId, instanceId }
+[SECURITY] session_restore_failed { timestamp, sessionId, reason }
+[SECURITY] max_sessions_reached { timestamp, count }
+```
+
+Monitor these logs in production for audit trails and security analysis.
+
+## Implementation Examples
+
+### 1. Express.js Multi-Tenant Backend
+
+```typescript
+import express from 'express';
+import { N8NMCPEngine } from 'n8n-mcp';
+
+const app = express();
+const engine = new N8NMCPEngine({
+  sessionTimeout: 1800000, // 30 minutes
+  logLevel: 'info'
+});
+
+// Startup: Restore sessions from encrypted storage
+async function startup() {
+  try {
+    const encrypted = await redis.get('mcp:sessions');
+    if (encrypted) {
+      const sessions = await decryptSessionData(
+        encrypted,
+        process.env.ENCRYPTION_KEY
+      );
+      const count = engine.restoreSessionState(sessions);
+      console.log(`Restored ${count} sessions`);
+    }
+  } catch (error) {
+    console.error('Failed to restore sessions:', error);
+  }
+}
+
+// Shutdown: Export sessions to encrypted storage
+async function shutdown() {
+  try {
+    const sessions = engine.exportSessionState();
+    const encrypted = await encryptSessionData(
+      sessions,
+      process.env.ENCRYPTION_KEY
+    );
+    await redis.set('mcp:sessions', encrypted, 'EX', 3600); // 1 hour TTL
+    console.log(`Exported ${sessions.length} sessions`);
+  } catch (error) {
+    console.error('Failed to export sessions:', error);
+  }
+
+  await engine.shutdown();
+  process.exit(0);
+}
+
+// Handle graceful shutdown
+process.on('SIGTERM', shutdown);
+process.on('SIGINT', shutdown);
+
+// Start server
+await startup();
+app.listen(3000);
+```
+
+### 2. Kubernetes Deployment with Init Container
+
+**deployment.yaml:**

+```
+
+**restore-sessions.sh:**
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash

+fi
+```
+
+**export-sessions.sh:**

+
+# Trigger session export via HTTP endpoint
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/internal/export-sessions
+
+echo "Sessions exported successfully"
+```
+
+### 3. Docker Compose with Redis
+
+**docker-compose.yml:**
+```yaml
+version: '3.8'
+
+services:
+  n8n-mcp:
+    build: .
+    environment:
+      - ENCRYPTION_KEY=${ENCRYPTION_KEY}
+      - REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379
+      - SESSION_TIMEOUT=1800000
+    depends_on:
+      - redis
+    volumes:
+      - ./data:/data
+    deploy:
+      replicas: 2
+      update_config:
+        parallelism: 1
+        delay: 10s
+        order: start-first
+    stop_grace_period: 30s
+
+  redis:
+    image: redis:7-alpine
+    volumes:
+      - redis-data:/data
+    command: redis-server --appendonly yes
+
+volumes:
+  redis-data:
+```
+
+**Application code:**
+```typescript
+import { N8NMCPEngine } from 'n8n-mcp';
+import Redis from 'ioredis';
+
+const redis = new Redis(process.env.REDIS_URL);
+const engine = new N8NMCPEngine();
+
+// Export endpoint (called by preStop hook)
+app.post('/internal/export-sessions', async (req, res) => {
+  try {
+    const sessions = engine.exportSessionState();
+    const encrypted = await encryptSessionData(
+      sessions,
+      Buffer.from(process.env.ENCRYPTION_KEY, 'hex')
+    );
+
+    // Store with hostname as key for per-container tracking
+    await redis.set(
+      `mcp:sessions:${os.hostname()}`,
+      encrypted,
+      'EX',
+      3600
+    );
+
+    res.json({ exported: sessions.length });
+  } catch (error) {
+    console.error('Export failed:', error);
+    res.status(500).json({ error: 'Export failed' });
+  }
+});
+
+// Restore on startup
+async function startup() {
+  const encrypted = await redis.get(`mcp:sessions:${os.hostname()}`);
+  if (encrypted) {
+    const sessions = await decryptSessionData(
+      encrypted,
+      Buffer.from(process.env.ENCRYPTION_KEY, 'hex')
+    );
+    const count = engine.restoreSessionState(sessions);
+    console.log(`Restored ${count} sessions`);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Session Timeout Configuration
+
+Choose appropriate timeout based on use case:
+
+```typescript
+const engine = new N8NMCPEngine({
+  sessionTimeout: 1800000  // 30 minutes (recommended default)
+});
+
+// Development: 5 minutes
+sessionTimeout: 300000
+
+// Production SaaS: 30-60 minutes
+sessionTimeout: 1800000 - 3600000
+
+// Long-running workflows: 2-4 hours
+sessionTimeout: 7200000 - 14400000
+```
+
+### 2. Storage Backend Selection
+
+**Redis (Recommended for Production)**
+- Fast read/write for session data
+- TTL support for automatic cleanup
+- Pub/sub for distributed coordination
+- Atomic operations for consistency
+
+**Database (PostgreSQL/MySQL)**
+- JSONB column for session state
+- Good for audit requirements
+- Slower than Redis
+- Requires periodic cleanup
+
+**S3/Cloud Storage**
+- Good for disaster recovery backups
+- Not suitable for hot session restore
+- High latency
+- Good for long-term session archival
+
+### 3. Monitoring and Alerting
+
+Monitor these metrics:
+
+```typescript
+// Session export metrics
+const sessions = engine.exportSessionState();
+metrics.gauge('mcp.sessions.exported', sessions.length);
+metrics.gauge('mcp.sessions.export_size_kb',
+  JSON.stringify(sessions).length / 1024
+);
+
+// Session restore metrics
+const restored = engine.restoreSessionState(sessions);
+metrics.gauge('mcp.sessions.restored', restored);
+metrics.gauge('mcp.sessions.restore_success_rate',
+  restored / sessions.length
+);
+
+// Runtime metrics
+const info = engine.getSessionInfo();
+metrics.gauge('mcp.sessions.active', info.active ? 1 : 0);
+metrics.gauge('mcp.sessions.age_seconds', info.age || 0);
+```
+
+Alert on:
+- Export failures (should be rare)
+- Low restore success rate (<95%)
+- MAX_SESSIONS limit reached
+- High session age (potential leaks)
+
+### 4. Graceful Shutdown Timing
+
+Ensure sufficient time for session export:
+
+```typescript
+// Kubernetes terminationGracePeriodSeconds
+terminationGracePeriodSeconds: 30  // 30 seconds minimum
+
+// Docker stop timeout
+docker run --stop-timeout 30 your-image
+
+// Process signal handling
+process.on('SIGTERM', async () => {
+  console.log('SIGTERM received, starting graceful shutdown...');
+
+  // 1. Stop accepting new requests (5s)
+  await server.close();
+
+  // 2. Wait for in-flight requests (10s)
+  await waitForInFlightRequests(10000);
+
+  // 3. Export sessions (5s)
+  const sessions = engine.exportSessionState();
+  await saveEncryptedSessions(sessions);
+
+  // 4. Cleanup (5s)
+  await engine.shutdown();
+
+  // 5. Exit (5s buffer)
+  process.exit(0);
+});
+```
+
+### 5. Idempotency Handling
+
+Sessions can be restored multiple times safely:
+
+```typescript
+// First restore
+const count1 = engine.restoreSessionState(sessions);
+// count1 = 5
+
+// Second restore (same sessions)
+const count2 = engine.restoreSessionState(sessions);
+// count2 = 0 (all already exist)
+```
+
+This is safe for:
+- Init container retries
+- Manual recovery operations
+- Disaster recovery scenarios
+
+### 6. Multi-Instance Coordination
+
+For multiple container instances:
+
+```typescript
+// Option 1: Per-instance storage (simple)
+const key = `mcp:sessions:${instance.hostname}`;
+
+// Option 2: Centralized with distributed lock (advanced)
+const lock = await acquireLock('mcp:session-export');
+try {
+  const allSessions = await getAllInstanceSessions();
+  await saveToBackup(allSessions);
+} finally {
+  await lock.release();
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Memory Usage
+
+```typescript
+// Each session: ~1-2 KB in memory
+// 100 sessions: ~100-200 KB
+// 1000 sessions: ~1-2 MB
+
+// Export serialized size
+const sessions = engine.exportSessionState();
+const sizeKB = JSON.stringify(sessions).length / 1024;
+console.log(`Export size: ${sizeKB.toFixed(2)} KB`);
+```
+
+### Export/Restore Speed
+
+```typescript
+// Export: O(n) where n = active sessions
+// Typical: 50-100 sessions in <10ms
+
+// Restore: O(n) with validation
+// Typical: 50-100 sessions in 20-50ms
+
+// Factor in encryption:
+// AES-256-GCM: ~1ms per 100 sessions
+```
+
+### MAX_SESSIONS Limit
+
+Hard limit: 100 sessions per container
+
+```typescript
+// Restore respects limit
+const sessions = createSessions(150); // 150 sessions
+const restored = engine.restoreSessionState(sessions);
+// restored = 100 (only first 100 restored)
+```
+
+For >100 sessions per tenant:
+- Deploy multiple containers
+- Use session routing/sharding
+- Implement session affinity
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: No sessions restored
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Restored 0 sessions
+```
+
+**Causes:**
+1. All sessions expired (age > sessionTimeout)
+2. Invalid date format in metadata
+3. Missing required context fields
+
+**Debug:**
+```typescript
+const sessions = await loadFromEncryptedStorage();
+console.log('Loaded sessions:', sessions.length);
+
+// Check individual sessions
+sessions.forEach((s, i) => {
+  const age = Date.now() - new Date(s.metadata.lastAccess).getTime();
+  console.log(`Session ${i}: age=${age}ms, expired=${age > sessionTimeout}`);
+});
+```
+
+### Issue: Restore fails with "invalid context"
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+[SECURITY] session_restore_failed { sessionId: '...', reason: 'invalid context: ...' }
+```
+
+**Causes:**
+1. Missing n8nApiUrl or n8nApiKey
+2. Invalid URL format
+3. Corrupted session data
+
+**Fix:**
+```typescript
+// Validate before restore
+const valid = sessions.filter(s => {
+  if (!s.context?.n8nApiUrl || !s.context?.n8nApiKey) {
+    console.warn(`Invalid session ${s.sessionId}: missing credentials`);
+    return false;
+  }
+  try {
+    new URL(s.context.n8nApiUrl); // Validate URL
+    return true;
+  } catch {
+    console.warn(`Invalid session ${s.sessionId}: malformed URL`);
+    return false;
+  }
+});
+
+const count = engine.restoreSessionState(valid);
+```
+
+### Issue: MAX_SESSIONS limit hit
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Reached MAX_SESSIONS limit (100), skipping remaining sessions
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. Scale horizontally (more containers)
+2. Implement session sharding
+3. Reduce sessionTimeout
+4. Clean up inactive sessions
+
+```typescript
+// Pre-filter by activity
+const recentSessions = sessions.filter(s => {
+  const age = Date.now() - new Date(s.metadata.lastAccess).getTime();
+  return age < 600000; // Only restore sessions active in last 10 min
+});
+
+const count = engine.restoreSessionState(recentSessions);
+```
+
+### Issue: Duplicate session IDs
+
+**Symptoms:**
+```
+Duplicate sessionId detected during export: 550e8400-...
+```
+
+**Cause:** Bug in session management logic
+
+**Fix:** This is a warning, not an error. The duplicate is automatically skipped. If persistent, investigate session creation logic.
+
+### Issue: High memory usage after restore
+
+**Symptoms:** Container OOM after restoring many sessions
+
+**Cause:** Too many sessions for container resources
+
+**Solution:**
+```typescript
+// Restore in batches
+async function restoreInBatches(sessions: SessionState[], batchSize = 25) {
+  let totalRestored = 0;
+
+  for (let i = 0; i < sessions.length; i += batchSize) {
+    const batch = sessions.slice(i, i + batchSize);
+    const count = engine.restoreSessionState(batch);
+    totalRestored += count;
+
+    // Wait for GC between batches
+    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
+  }
+
+  return totalRestored;
+}
+```

+# Type Structure Validation
+
+## Overview
+
+Type Structure Validation is an automatic validation system that ensures complex n8n node configurations conform to their expected data structures. Implemented as part of the n8n-mcp validation system, it provides zero-configuration validation for special n8n types that have complex nested structures.
+
+**Status:** Production (v2.22.21+)
+**Performance:** 100% pass rate on 776 real-world validations
+**Speed:** 0.01ms average validation time (500x faster than target)
+
+The system automatically validates node configurations without requiring any additional setup or configuration from users or AI assistants.
+
+## Supported Types
+
+The validation system supports four special n8n types that have complex structures:
+
+### 1. **filter** (FilterValue)
+Complex filtering conditions with boolean operators, comparison operations, and nested logic.
+
+**Structure:**
+- `combinator`: "and" | "or" - How conditions are combined
+- `conditions`: Array of filter conditions
+  - Each condition has: `leftValue`, `operator` (type + operation), `rightValue`
+  - Supports 40+ operations: equals, contains, exists, notExists, gt, lt, regex, etc.
+
+**Example Usage:** IF node, Switch node condition filtering
+
+### 2. **resourceMapper** (ResourceMapperValue)
+Data mapping configuration for transforming data between different formats.
+
+**Structure:**
+- `mappingMode`: "defineBelow" | "autoMapInputData" | "mapManually"
+- `value`: Field mappings or expressions
+- `matchingColumns`: Column matching configuration
+- `schema`: Target schema definition
+
+**Example Usage:** Google Sheets node, Airtable node data mapping
+
+### 3. **assignmentCollection** (AssignmentCollectionValue)
+Variable assignments for setting multiple values at once.
+
+**Structure:**
+- `assignments`: Array of name-value pairs
+  - Each assignment has: `name`, `value`, `type`
+
+**Example Usage:** Set node, Code node variable assignments
+
+### 4. **resourceLocator** (INodeParameterResourceLocator)
+Resource selection with multiple lookup modes (ID, name, URL, etc.).
+
+**Structure:**
+- `mode`: "id" | "list" | "url" | "name"
+- `value`: Resource identifier (string, number, or expression)
+- `cachedResultName`: Optional cached display name
+- `cachedResultUrl`: Optional cached URL
+
+**Example Usage:** Google Sheets spreadsheet selection, Slack channel selection
+
+## Performance & Results
+
+The validation system was tested against real-world n8n.io workflow templates:
+
+| Metric | Result |
+|--------|--------|
+| **Templates Tested** | 91 (top by popularity) |
+| **Nodes Validated** | 616 nodes with special types |
+| **Total Validations** | 776 property validations |
+| **Pass Rate** | 100.00% (776/776) |
+| **False Positive Rate** | 0.00% |
+| **Average Time** | 0.01ms per validation |
+| **Max Time** | 1.00ms per validation |
+| **Performance vs Target** | 500x faster than 50ms target |
+
+### Type-Specific Results
+
+- `filter`: 93/93 passed (100.00%)
+- `resourceMapper`: 69/69 passed (100.00%)
+- `assignmentCollection`: 213/213 passed (100.00%)
+- `resourceLocator`: 401/401 passed (100.00%)
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Automatic Integration
+
+Structure validation is automatically applied during node configuration validation. When you call `validate_node_operation` or `validate_node_minimal`, the system:
+
+1. **Identifies Special Types**: Detects properties that use filter, resourceMapper, assignmentCollection, or resourceLocator types
+2. **Validates Structure**: Checks that the configuration matches the expected structure for that type
+3. **Validates Operations**: For filter types, validates that operations are supported for the data type
+4. **Provides Context**: Returns specific error messages with property paths and fix suggestions
+
+### Validation Flow
+
+```
+User/AI provides node config
+        ↓
+validate_node_operation (MCP tool)
+        ↓
+EnhancedConfigValidator.validateWithMode()
+        ↓
+validateSpecialTypeStructures() ← Automatic structure validation
+        ↓
+TypeStructureService.validateStructure()
+        ↓
+Returns validation result with errors/warnings/suggestions
+```
+
+### Edge Cases Handled
+
+**1. Credential-Provided Fields**
+- Fields like Google Sheets `sheetId` that come from n8n credentials at runtime are excluded from validation
+- No false positives for fields that aren't in the configuration
+
+**2. Filter Operations**
+- Universal operations (`exists`, `notExists`, `isNotEmpty`) work across all data types
+- Type-specific operations validated (e.g., `regex` only for strings, `gt`/`lt` only for numbers)
+
+**3. Node-Specific Logic**
+- Custom validation logic for specific nodes (Google Sheets, Slack, etc.)
+- Context-aware error messages that understand the node's operation
+
