performance: 'Fast (<100ms)',

tips: [
|
|
'Catches syntax errors in {{}} expressions before runtime',

'Validates $json, $node, and other n8n variables',

'Shows exact location of expression errors in node parameters'

description: 'Validates all n8n expressions within a workflow for syntax correctness and reference validity. This tool scans all node parameters for n8n expressions (enclosed in {{}}), checks expression syntax, validates variable references like $json and $node("NodeName"), ensures referenced nodes exist in the workflow, and provides detailed error locations for debugging.',

|
useCases: [
|
|
'Catch expression syntax errors before workflow execution',
|
|
'Validate node references in $node() expressions exist',
|
|
'Find typos in variable names like $json or $input',
|
|
'Ensure complex expressions are properly formatted',
|

'Debug expression errors with exact parameter locations',
|

'Validate expressions after workflow modifications'

|
performance: 'Fast (<100ms). Scans all string parameters in all nodes. Performance scales with workflow size and expression count.',

|
bestPractices: [
|
|
'Run after modifying any expressions in node parameters',
|
|
'Check all $node() references when renaming nodes',
|
|
'Validate expressions before workflow deployment',
|
|
'Pay attention to nested object paths in expressions',
|
|
'Use with validate_workflow for comprehensive validation'
|
|
],
|
|
pitfalls: [
|
|
'Cannot validate expression logic, only syntax',
|
|
'Runtime data availability not checked (e.g., if $json.field exists)',
|
|
'Complex JavaScript in expressions may need runtime testing',
|
|
'Does not validate expression return types',
|
|
'Some valid expressions may use advanced features not fully parsed'
