A sample report

This is what the free scan produces, on a made-up n8n instance. No account, no API key: read it first, then decide whether to point it at your own.

The instance is invented. The findings are not staged — the detectors that would read your instance produced every line below, which is also why a workflow with nothing wrong with it is left in.

What you are looking at

  • Six workflows on a fictional agency instance, with about a hundred executions behind them.
  • Four of the six are broken in different ways. Two of those four report success in n8n.
  • Every finding carries the evidence it was judged on, so you can disagree with it.
  • No real customer, and no real instance was read to produce it.

    Invoice sync → accounting

    The last 3 successful runs produced 0 items; this workflow normally produces about 45. Success status is hiding a job that did nothing.

Too little history to judge

These workflows do not yet have enough executions for the statistical detections. OutcomeGuard says so rather than inventing an anomaly.

Run it on your own instance

The free scan reads the n8n REST API and never writes to it. The key is used for that one scan and discarded unless you choose to connect the instance afterwards.
