Cordon adds audit logging and gating for n8n MCP tool calls

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Cordon is a new open-source gateway designed to provide audit logging for n8n workflows that interact with MCP tools. It sits between the n8n client and the MCP server, logging every tool call, its arguments, and the response. This visibility helps identify issues like agent loops or unexpected tool usage, which are not detailed in n8n's default execution logs. Cordon also offers policy-based gating, allowing users to block or pause potentially dangerous tool calls before they are executed. AI

IMPACT Enhances visibility and control for AI agents using external tools within n8n workflows.

RANK_REASON This is a new open-source tool release that adds functionality to an existing workflow product.
