Summary

Describe a Forest Admin collection by calling the MCP describeCollection tool. Use the returned schema information to inspect fields, types, operators, relations, and available actions before querying or changing records.

Inputs

  • Authentication (required) — Choose Bearer Auth or MCP OAuth2 and provide the matching credentials for the Forest MCP endpoint.
  • Collection (required) — Select a collection from the list or enter its ID.
  • Timeout — Maximum time in milliseconds to wait for the tool call; defaults to 60000 ms.

Output shape

One n8n item per input item, containing the MCP response content in json.content; image or audio content may be returned in binary as data_0, data_1, and so on.

Text content is parsed as JSON when possible and otherwise returned as text. With Convert to Binary enabled (default), image and audio content is placed in binary output; when disabled, it remains in the content array, encoded as supplied by the MCP response. The operation does not expose manual or JSON tool parameters.
