upload_workflowUpload a workflow from a local JSON file to n8n (creates new workflow)
update_workflowUpdate an existing workflow by ID
delete_workflowDelete a workflow by ID
activate_workflowActivate a workflow by ID
deactivate_workflowDeactivate a workflow by ID

add_nodeAdd a single node to an existing workflow
update_nodeUpdate a specific node's parameters in a workflow (for small params - use update_node_from_file for large content like SQL)
update_node_from_fileUpdate a node parameter by reading value from a file (ideal for long SQL queries, scripts, templates)
remove_nodeRemove a node from a workflow (also removes its connections)
connect_nodesConnect two nodes in a workflow
