Critical fixes based on Claude Desktop feedback:
1. Fixed crypto documentation: require('crypto') IS available despite editor warnings
- Added clear examples of crypto usage
- Updated validation to guide correct require() usage
2. Clarified $helpers vs standalone functions
- $getWorkflowStaticData() is standalone, NOT $helpers.getWorkflowStaticData()
- Added validation to catch incorrect usage (prevents '$helpers is not defined' errors)
- Enhanced examples showing proper $helpers availability checks
3. Fixed JMESPath numeric literal documentation
- n8n requires backticks around numbers in filters: [?age >= `18`]
- Added multiple examples and validation to detect missing backticks
- Prevents 'JMESPath syntax error' that Claude Desktop encountered
4. Fixed webhook data access gotcha
- Webhook payload is at items[0].json.body, NOT items[0].json
- Added dedicated 'Webhook Data Access' section with clear examples
- Created process_webhook_data task template
- Added validation to detect incorrect webhook data access patterns
All fixes based on production workflows TaNqYoZNNeHC4Hne and JZ9urD7PNClDZ1bm
