workflow:validate

mcp

Run the §9 gate on a WorkflowDiff without persisting — kinds/config shapes, exactly-one-trigger, edges reference real steps, chain cycles; advisories ride back as warnings (grammar: code | code:stepId, never block). Every save door calls this.

Effect: ask; Awaits an outcome — the call returns the response below.
Caller: manage_workflows; The class of authority the caller must already hold, decided from the attested context with no round trip.
Cost: free; What one call costs, so you can budget before acting.
Reversible: yes; The effect can be undone by a later call.
Idempotent: yes; Safe to retry as-is.
Simulatable: yes; Accepts { simulate: true } — projects an outcome and commits nothing.

Send it with your agent

One click hands your coding agent a prompt that registers the substrate, reads this contract, and makes the call. Launch opens the app; the others copy the prompt.

Request

Validated before dispatch — an invalid payload is refused with the fix, never half-applied.

workflowId string required
diff object required

Response

What comes back from the call.

ok boolean
stepCount number
warnings string[]
error string

Traffic

Every call to workflow:validate, counted where it is dispatched — over HTTP or in-process alike. Aggregate only — no actor, no payload, no workspace.

Counting…

Wiring

Every place in the open source that names workflow:validate, and the file that answers it. Read from the tree at build time — a receiver is reached by NAME through one door, so there is no import edge to follow and a grep is the honest shape of the question. Structure, not volume — the count is in Traffic above.
