Raw API (1 tool)

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | wf_api_raw | Call any wflow API endpoint directly |

Response Caching

GET responses are cached in-memory with a configurable TTL (default 120 seconds). Mutations (PUT, POST, PATCH, DELETE) automatically invalidate related cache entries. Set WFLOW_CACHE_TTL=0 to disable caching.

Rate Limit Handling

When the API returns HTTP 429, the server waits using the Retry-After header value or exponential backoff, then retries automatically up to WFLOW_MAX_RETRIES times.

Security

OAuth2 tokens are refreshed automatically and never logged
API credentials are read from environment variables only — never stored on disk
All API paths are validated against injection patterns (.., #)
Error messages are truncated to 500 characters to prevent data leaks
Zod validates every tool parameter before API calls
Docker image runs as non-root node user
30-second timeout on all HTTP requests
