Find the MCP tools available through the Run-Workflow MCP connector for asset management, workflow execution, and discovery.
Your AI agent automatically selects the appropriate MCP tools based on your natural language requests. Understanding these tools helps you work more effectively with Run-Workflow MCP, though you don't need to call them directly.
The following reference provides complete details about each tool available through Run-Workflow MCP, organized in functional categories.
