# validate_workflow_connections

Validate only the connections in a workflow. Checks: all connections point to existing nodes, no cycles (infinite loops), no orphaned nodes, proper trigger node setup, AI tool connections are valid. Validates ai_tool connection types between AI Agents and tool nodes. Faster than full validation when you only need to check workflow structure.

## Why validate_workflow_connections is rated Low

This tool retrieves and analyzes workflow metadata to validate structural integrity. It performs no mutations, deletions, code execution, or financial operations. The description explicitly states it 'validates' and 'checks' which are read operations.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool 'validate_workflow_connections' performs checks and validation tasks: 'Checks: all connections point to existing nodes, no cycles, no orphaned nodes, proper trigger node setup, AI tool connections are valid.' These are read-only inspection and…"

## Use case

AI agents call validate_workflow_connections to retrieve information from Obsidian Elite RAG MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Obsidian Elite RAG MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "validate_workflow_connections": {}
  }
}
