MCP tools

Who this is for: people who want to know exactly what their AI assistant can do in Liitora, and AI assistants that use these tools.

Before you start: connect your AI assistant.

Your AI assistant works in Liitora through these tools. It acts as itself, inside your company only, with the access your admin gave it. It can draft, test and run workflows, but it can never approve a workflow or see a secret value: a person always does that, through a link the assistant shows you.

Each tool below lists the permissions it needs. When the assistant’s access is missing one of them, the tool refuses with forbidden before it reads or changes anything. An assistant that uses your own sign-in gets your permissions, or only the view permissions when you connected it read-only. See the permission list.

Every result ends with links for you, such as Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs. When something goes wrong, the tool says what went wrong, how to fix it and where to read more.

The assistant can also read these resources: the workflow format, the script host API, JSON Schemas of workflows and test cases, the built-in actions, tested workflow templates, a secrets guide, a webhook signing guide and every page of this guide. It gets four guided flows as prompts: new-scheduled-report, new-webhook-automation, fix-failing-workflow and explain-workflow.

Tool	What it does	Changes anything

get_template	Read one email or PDF template with its HTML source, to check which data values it needs or to change it with set_template.	no
get_workflow	Read one workflow: its YAML, the plain-English summary, warnings, the secrets and connections it uses (capabilities: a run can use only these, and capability_changes shows what this version adds or removes compared with the previous one), the data path (data_path: where it runs, whether webhook payloads enter Liitora, who holds its secrets by name, and whether logs and results come back in full or as metadata only; data_path_changes lists what this version changes there), the test cases (test_cases, to send back to update_workflow with your change) and their report, the activation checklist (what still blocks activation) and its schedule with the next three run times.	no

activate_workflow

Turn a workflow version on: its schedules, webhook and workflow_run triggers start running it in production. Every gate must pass first (actions exist, connections exist, secrets filled, tests green). Under the default policy a person must approve: you then get an Approve & activate link to show the user, and the workflow turns on when they approve. Also resumes a paused workflow.

Permissions: activate_workflow, view_workflow.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
version_no	integer	no	A version number; default the newest version.
workflow_id	string	yes	The workflow id (from list_workflows or create_workflow).

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

add_connection_certificate

Add a certificate to a connection that uses certificate sign-in. Liitora creates the key pair in its key store (the private key never leaves it) and returns only the public certificate (certificate_pem, file_name). Give it to the user to upload to the app registration (Certificates & secrets, then Certificates, then Upload certificate). The first certificate is used at once; a second one is for rotation and is used after use_connection_certificate. At most two per connection.

Permissions: manage_connections.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
connection_id	string	yes	The connection id (a connection made from a template with sign_in: certificate).
valid_months	integer	no	How long the certificate is valid, 1 to 24 months (default 12).

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

add_step

Add one step to a workflow and save it as a new version (validation and tests run as on every save). Give the step in the YAML step format and, optionally, the step it comes after. Use it for small changes; for bigger ones send the whole YAML with update_workflow.

Permissions: view_workflow, edit_workflow.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
after_step_id	string	no	Insert after this step id; default at the end. A step without needs depends on the step above it.
expected_version_no	integer	yes	The newest version number you read (from get_workflow).
step	object	yes	The step in the YAML step format: id, name, uses or run, with, connections, needs, if, retry, timeout_minutes.
workflow_id	string	yes	The workflow id (from list_workflows or create_workflow).

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

cancel_run

Cancel a queued or running run. A queued run never starts; a running one stops at its next checkpoint. A finished run is left as it is.

Permissions: edit_workflow.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
run_id	string	yes	The run id (from list_runs or test_run).

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

create_action

Create a reusable action in the company’s library: a script with an input schema, an output schema, connection slots and tests. Write new logic as an action (not an inline script) when other workflows could use it. The script is validated (no imports, no hardcoded credentials); problems come back with line and column.

Permissions: edit_workflow.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
category	string	no	For example erp, email, reporting.
description	string	no	What it does, its inputs and outputs, in plain language.
name	string	yes	Plain-language name, for example “Fetch overdue devices from the ERP”.
slug	string	yes	Lower case, for example fetch-devices (letters, digits, ., _, -).
version	object (see below)	yes	The first version (usually 1.0.0).
version.connection_slots	any JSON	no	The connection slots the script uses: { "erp": { "kind": "visma", "required": true } }.
version.input_schema	any JSON	yes	JSON Schema of the input.
version.output_schema	any JSON	yes	JSON Schema of the output.
version.semver	string	yes	MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, for example 1.0.0. Changing the input or output schema in a breaking way needs a new major version.
version.source	string	yes	JavaScript or TypeScript with one default export: export default async function run(ctx, input) { ... }. Host API: liitora://reference/host-api.d.ts. No imports; credentials only through ctx.secrets.get or a connection slot.
version.tests	list	no	The action’s test cases (liitora://schemas/test-case.json, with given.input).

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

create_connection

Create a connection to another system: base URL, auth method and the NAMES of the secrets that hold the credentials (metadata only; you never send or see values). Use new secret names and call request_secret for each, so a person fills it in and sees where it will be sent. A secret that already holds a value someone entered, and platform-managed secrets (webhook_*), are refused: ask a person who can reveal secrets to connect those. A token_url must be on the base URL’s host or in allowed_hosts. The platform applies the auth, refreshes tokens and enforces HTTPS for every call through the connection.

Permissions: manage_connections.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
allowed_hosts	list of string	no	Extra hosts the connection may call besides the base URL’s host.
auth_config	object	no	Non-secret settings: for api_key { "name": "X-API-Key", "in": "header" }; for OAuth2 { "token_url": "...", "scopes": [...] }; health_path for test_connection. Never put a credential here.
auth_method	string	yes	none, api_key, basic, bearer, oauth2_client_credentials or oauth2_authorization_code.
base_url	string	yes	https://host[:port][/path]; only HTTPS is allowed.
description	string	no	What the connection is for, in plain language.
environment	string	no	production (default) or test. Create both for test runs.
kind	string	yes	The kind of system, for example visma, hubspot or generic_http.
name	string	yes	^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_-]*$, for example internal-erp; steps bind it by this name in connections:. Fixed after creation.
secret_refs	object	no	Which secret holds each credential, by role: api_key for api_key; username and password for basic; token for bearer; client_id and client_secret (plus refresh_token) for OAuth2. Values are secret NAMES such as erp_api_key, never values.

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

create_connection_from_template

Create a connection from a platform template (read liitora://connection-templates or call list_connection_templates first), for example microsoft_graph for Microsoft 365 and Entra ID, aws_identity_center for AWS IAM Identity Center users and groups (its SCIM token can also change and delete users, so say so to the user), aws for IAM, IAM Identity Center and Identity Store through a role Liitora assumes with an external ID it generates (one aws_access_key secret for both key halves; after creating, tell the user to put the connection’s external ID in the role’s trust policy), slack for a Slack app’s bot token (no values, one api_key secret as token), servicenow for ServiceNow incidents, catalog requests and users in the company’s own instance (value instance_url, like https://acme.service-now.com; sign-in client_secret, recommended, with one oauth_client secret as client_id and client_secret, or basic with one basic_auth secret as username and password), or openai, azure_openai, anthropic, mistral or openai_compatible for the model that platform/ai.generate steps use (each template says where the provider processes the data). The template fixes the address, the sign-in and the hosts; you give only the company’s own values (for Microsoft Graph its Entra tenant ID, and the application ID for certificate sign-in) and, for a client secret or an API key, the NAMES of the secrets. Certificate sign-in is recommended: then call add_connection_certificate. With a client secret, use new secret names and call request_secret for each, with the kind the template lists, so a person fills it in; a secret that already holds a value someone entered is refused.

Permissions: manage_connections.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
description	string	no	What the connection is for, in plain language.
environment	string	no	production (default) or test. Create both for test runs.

secret_refs	object	no	Which secret holds each credential, by the roles the method lists (for microsoft_graph client_id and client_secret, usually one oauth_client secret such as m365_oauth for both; for slack one api_key secret holding the xoxb- bot token, as token; for an AI template one api_key secret, as token or api_key as the template lists; for aws_identity_center one api_key secret as token; for servicenow one oauth_client secret as client_id and client_secret, or one basic_auth secret as username and password; for aws one aws_access_key secret as both access_key_id and secret_access_key). Secret NAMES, never values. Leave it out for certificate sign-in.
sign_in	string	no	How it signs in, from the template’s sign_in_methods: for microsoft_graph certificate (recommended: no secret at all) or client_secret; api_key for the AI templates; access_token for aws_identity_center; assume_role for aws; bot_token for slack; for servicenow client_secret (recommended) or basic. Default: client_secret when secret_refs has a client_secret, basic when it has a password and the template offers it, else the recommended method.
template	string	yes	The template name from liitora://connection-templates, for example microsoft_graph, aws_identity_center, aws, slack, servicenow, or an AI template: openai, azure_openai, anthropic, mistral or openai_compatible.
values	object	no	The template’s fields and the sign-in method’s, nothing else. For microsoft_graph with a certificate: { "tenant_id": "contoso.onmicrosoft.com", "client_id": "<application GUID>" }; with a client secret only tenant_id. AI templates: openai region (eu, the default, or global), azure_openai resource, openai_compatible base_url (https). aws_identity_center scim_endpoint (https://scim.<region>.amazonaws.com/<tenant ID>/scim/v2). servicenow instance_url (https://<instance>.service-now.com or only the instance name). aws: region (for example eu-north-1), services (comma list of iam, sso, identitystore) and role_arn. Ask the user; never guess.

create_scheduled_workflow

One call for a workflow that runs on a schedule: give a name, a description, one or more cron schedules with a time zone, the steps and the tests. It writes the YAML for you, saves a draft and returns a checklist of what is still missing (secrets, connections, tests, approval) plus the next three run times in plain words. Prefer it for reports and syncs that run every day, week or month.

Permissions: edit_workflow, view_workflow.

create_webhook_endpoint

Create a webhook endpoint that other systems call to start workflows (workflows name it in on.webhook.endpoint). Returns the public URL and step-by-step signing instructions for the sender. The signing secret is generated by Liitora and only a person can reveal it in the web app; you never see it. For Stripe, a person pastes Stripe’s secret through the returned link.

Permissions: manage_webhooks.

create_webhook_workflow

One call for a workflow that another system starts by calling a webhook: it creates the webhook endpoint (or reuses one with that name), writes the YAML, saves a draft and returns the endpoint URL, how the sender signs requests (never the secret itself) and a checklist of what is still missing. Include a malformed-payload test case.

Permissions: view_workflow, manage_webhooks, edit_workflow.

Input:

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

create_workflow

Create a draft workflow from YAML (format: liitora://reference/workflow-format; examples: liitora://templates). Send test cases with it; they run on save and activation needs them green. Validation errors come back with the exact line and column. The draft never runs on its own: activation is a separate step, usually approved by a person. Search the library first (search_actions) and reuse existing actions. Never put credentials in the YAML; use ctx.secrets.get or a connection and request_secret.

Permissions: edit_workflow.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
slug	string	no	URL-safe id, unique in the company; default derived from name:.
tests	list	no	The test cases, a JSON array in the format of liitora://schemas/test-case.json. They run on save.

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

delete_lookup_table

Remove a lookup table with all its versions. Workflows that still read it fail at lookup(), so check list_workflows first.

Permissions: activate_workflow.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
name	string	yes	The table’s name.

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

delete_template

Remove an email or PDF template. Steps that still use it fail with template_not_found, so check the workflows first.

Name	Type	Required	What it is
name	string	yes	The template’s name, as in template: <name>.

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

delete_var

Remove a company variable. Workflows that still read it get an empty value (null), so check list_workflows first.

Permissions: activate_workflow.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
name	string	yes	The variable’s name.

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

draft_test_from_run

Turn a finished test run into a draft test case: the run’s trigger input as given.event, its upstream answers as mocks (or step stubs when they were not logged in full) and its outcome and step results as expectations. Nothing is saved: review the case, then add it to the workflow’s tests with update_workflow. Values that look like credentials are replaced with [REDACTED]. Production runs hold real data and are refused (production_run_needs_review): a person saves those from the run page in the web app.

Permissions: edit_workflow, view_runs.

Input:

Permissions: none, any signed-in caller of the company may use it.

Input: none.

Result: the text pong with the company the token acts for and the server version.

remove_step

Remove one step from a workflow and save it as a new version. Steps that named it in needs: or read its outputs make the save fail with a located error, so you can fix them in the same change.

Permissions: view_workflow, edit_workflow.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
expected_version_no	integer	yes	The newest version number you read (from get_workflow); a newer version on the server fails with conflict.

replay_quarantined_items

Replay quarantined for-each items of a finished run: one item (item_id) or every item that may be replayed. Each step with items gets a new run that reuses the original run’s results, runs only those items of that step and skips every other step. An item that fails again goes back to quarantine. Refused with item_replay_in_progress while a replay of the item is queued or running, and with already_replayed once a replay succeeded. Needs the same permission as retry_run_from_step.

Permissions: edit_workflow.

request_library_item

Ask to take a library item into the company. This only asks: a different person with approve_workflow must approve it in the app, and you can never approve it. Approval checks the signature again and copies the item into a new draft workflow with its tests; that draft still needs green tests and the normal approval before it can be activated. One waiting request per item version.

Permissions: edit_workflow.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
note	string	no	Why the company needs it, for the person who approves (at most 1000 characters).
slug	string	yes	The item’s slug.

request_secret

Ask a person for a credential (API key, password, OAuth client, certificate). Creates a placeholder with your reason and hint and returns a secure fill link for the user; you never see or handle the value. If your client supports URL elicitation, it also shows the user a prompt to open the link and this call waits a while for the value to be saved. Otherwise show the user the link as it is. Idempotent by name. A secret that already has a value is refused (secret_already_set): use it as it is, and only a person changes it, on the Secrets page. Use it for every credential instead of putting one in YAML, scripts or tests.

Permissions: edit_workflow.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
description	string	no	A longer description kept with the secret.
hint	string	no	Where the person finds the value, for example “Visma > Settings > API keys”.

name	string	yes	^[a-z][a-z0-9_]{0,63}$, for example visma_api. Scripts read it with ctx.secrets.get(“visma_api”); connections name it in secret_refs.
reason	string	yes	Why it is needed, shown to the person, for example “Needed to read overdue invoices from Visma in the workflow Monthly invoices”.

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

reset_sync_snapshot

Reset what one platform/sync.diff step remembers in one environment. Its next run there starts over and reports every record of the source as created, so the steps after it act on all of them again. Ask the user first, and only reset when they want a full resync.

Permissions: activate_workflow.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
environment	one of test, production	yes	Which environment’s snapshot to reset; each keeps its own.
step_id	string	yes	The id of the platform/sync.diff step (from list_sync_snapshots).
workflow_id	string	yes	The workflow id (from list_workflows).

retry_run_from_step

Start a new run that resumes a failed run at one step: the steps before it reuse their saved results (nothing is called twice), the step and everything after it run again, with the same workflow version as the failed run. Use it after fixing the cause outside the workflow (a secret, a temporary outage). After changing the workflow itself, try the new version with test_run instead.

Permissions: edit_workflow.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
run_id	string	yes	The failed run to resume.
step_id	string	yes	The step to run again; earlier steps reuse the original results.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
action_id	string	yes	One of the company’s own actions (from search_actions).
version_id	string	yes	The version to test (an id from get_action’s versions).

run_workflow_tests

Run a workflow version’s test cases now (they also run on every save) and store the report on that version. With case, run only that case (0-based) and return its result without storing it. Returns each case with its assertions as sentences and, for failures, the expected and actual values. Activation needs every case green and the required minimum met: a happy path, an upstream failure when a step calls another system, an empty case when a step has if:, a malformed payload for webhook workflows.

Permissions: edit_workflow.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
case	integer	no	Run only this case (0-based, in the order of the version’s cases). Its report is returned but not stored, so activation still needs a run of every case.
version_no	integer	no	Default the newest version.
workflow_id	string	yes	The workflow id (from list_workflows or create_workflow).

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

save_lookup_table

Create a lookup table (without expected_version) or save a new version of one (with the version you read). Give the whole table as columns and rows, or as csv text. Every save is a new version: runs already started keep reading theirs, new runs read the new one, without a workflow version or approval, so tell the user what you changed. Keys (the first column) must be unique. Lookup tables are not for personal data or secrets; cells that look like passwords, keys or tokens are refused.

Permissions: activate_workflow.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is

search_actions

Search the action library before writing any code: built-in actions (platform/...), the curated platform library (library/...) and the company’s own actions.

name	string	yes	^[a-z][a-z0-9_]{0,62}$, read as vars.<name>.
value	any JSON	yes	A string, number, true/false, list or object (at most 4 KB as JSON). Never a credential: use request_secret for those.

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

test_connection

Check a connection for real: one GET to its health path (default /) with the auth applied. Returns ok or the error and HTTP status, and updates the connection’s health. A 401 or 403 usually means a person must fix the secret.

Permissions: manage_connections.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
connection_id	string	yes	The connection id from list_connections or create_connection.

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

test_run

Run a workflow version once for testing and wait for it (up to wait_seconds): mode test uses the connections’ test environment, mode dry_run uses it too but skips writes. A test run never uses production credentials: a connection without test settings fails with connection_not_found unless a person marked it as having no separate test system, and then its writes are held back. The run’s environment says which settings it used. Drafts can be test-run: until a person approves the version, it reads only the secrets the last approved version reads (secret_not_approved), reaches only its connections’ hosts with raw URLs (host_not_declared) and sends no email outside a dry run. Returns the step timeline, the result and the redacted log lines. Use it after the tests pass, to see real data flow through.

Permissions: edit_workflow, view_runs.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
input	object	no	The trigger payload, available as trigger.* in expressions (at most 64 KiB), for example a webhook body.
mode	one of test, dry_run	no	test (default): the connections’ test environment; dry_run: the test environment with writes skipped.
version_no	integer	no	The version to run; default the newest (drafts too).
wait_seconds	integer	no	How long to wait for the run to finish, 0 to 120 seconds (default 30).
workflow_id	string	yes	The workflow id (from list_workflows or create_workflow).

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

update_action

Publish a new version of one of the company’s own actions (versions never change). A breaking change to the input or output schema needs a new major version; workflows keep the version they pinned until they are upgraded with upgrade_action_version. Platform actions cannot be changed: fork them first.

Permissions: edit_workflow.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
action_id	string	yes	One of the company’s own actions (fork platform actions first).
version	object (see below)	yes	The new version; its semver must be higher than the latest.
version.connection_slots	any JSON	no	The connection slots the script uses: { "erp": { "kind": "visma", "required": true } }.
version.input_schema	any JSON	yes	JSON Schema of the input.
version.output_schema	any JSON	yes	JSON Schema of the output.
version.semver	string	yes	MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, for example 1.0.0. Changing the input or output schema in a breaking way needs a new major version.
version.source	string	yes	JavaScript or TypeScript with one default export: export default async function run(ctx, input) { ... }. Host API: liitora://reference/host-api.d.ts. No imports; credentials only through ctx.secrets.get or a connection slot.
version.tests	list	no	The action’s test cases (liitora://schemas/test-case.json, with given.input).

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

update_step

Change keys of one step (for example its with: inputs, if: or retry:) and save the workflow as a new version. Keys set to null are removed. Validation and tests run as on every save.

Permissions: view_workflow, edit_workflow.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
changes	object	yes	The keys to set, in the YAML step format. A key set to null is removed. with replaces the whole with: map.
expected_version_no	integer	yes	The newest version number you read (from get_workflow); a newer version on the server fails with conflict.
step_id	string	yes	The id of the step to change.
workflow_id	string	yes	The workflow id (from list_workflows or create_workflow).

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

update_workflow

Save a new version of a workflow from the whole new YAML (and optionally new tests). Versions are never changed in place; the new version gets its tests run on save and needs approval again before it runs. Send expected_version_no = the newest version you read; if someone changed it meanwhile you get conflict and must merge your change into the newer version.

Permissions: edit_workflow.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
expected_version_no	integer	yes	The newest version number you based the change on (from get_workflow). A newer version on the server fails with conflict.
tests	list	no	The test cases; omit to keep the current ones.
workflow_id	string	yes	The workflow id (from list_workflows or create_workflow).
yaml	string	yes	The whole new YAML (not a patch).

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

upgrade_action_version

Move every step that uses an action to a newer version of it (for example acme/fetch-devices to v2) and save the workflow as a new version. The tests run on save against the new action version, and the new version needs approval before it runs. Check the action’s new input schema with get_action first.

Permissions: view_workflow, edit_workflow.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
action	string	yes	The action as it appears in uses: without the version, for example acme/fetch-devices or library/visma.invoices.
expected_version_no	integer	yes	The newest version number you read (from get_workflow); a newer version on the server fails with conflict.
to_version	string	yes	The new version, for example v2, v2.1 or v2.1.0.
workflow_id	string	yes	The workflow id (from list_workflows or create_workflow).

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

use_connection_certificate

Switch a connection to another of its certificates (rotation). Liitora first signs in with that certificate; if the identity provider doesn’t accept it yet (not uploaded, or not yet active), nothing changes and the connection keeps its current certificate. An expired certificate can’t be used.

Permissions: manage_connections.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
certificate_id	string	yes	The certificate id from list_connection_certificates or add_connection_certificate.
connection_id	string	yes	The connection id.

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.

validate_workflow

Check workflow YAML (and tests) without saving anything: the same checks as a save, including typed with: inputs against each action’s schema and the credential scan. Returns ok, the plain-English summary, and every finding with its path, line and column, what_went_wrong and how_to_fix. Call it before create_workflow or update_workflow.

Permissions: view_workflow.

Input:

Name	Type	Required	What it is
tests	list	no	The test cases to check with it (liitora://schemas/test-case.json).
yaml	string	yes	The whole workflow YAML to check.

Result: a one-line summary, the result object, next_steps for the assistant and links to show you (for example Review workflow, Approve & activate or View run logs). A problem comes back as an error with what_went_wrong, how_to_fix and docs.
