n8n Builder

ยท v1.0.0

Medium Risk

Expert n8n workflow builder that creates, deploys, and manages n8n workflows programmatically via the n8n REST API. Use when asked to create n8n workflows, automate n8n tasks, build automations, design workflow pipelines, connect services via n8n, or manage existing n8n workflows. Handles webhook flows, scheduled tasks, AI agents, database syncs, conditional logic, error handling, and any n8n node configuration.

๐Ÿ”’ Containment

Level: maximum

Recommended:
  • LOG_ACTIONS: Audit trail for all actions

โšก Risks

Unauthorized tool use: MCP_SYS_CRITICAL_ACCESS high

Mitigation: Avoid accessing system directories unless absolutely necessary.

Social engineering indicators: SOCIAL_ENG_VAGUE_DESCRIPTION low

Mitigation: Provide clear, detailed description of skill functionality

Data exfiltration patterns: INSTRUCTED_SENSITIVE_SERVICE_ACCESS high

Mitigation: Clearly document which sensitive services are accessed and why; use minimal required permissions
