n8n-nodes-akto

This is an n8n community node that integrates Akto into your n8n workflows. It lets you validate prompts with Akto Guardrails and ingest LLM interactions for API security monitoring.

Operations

• Guardrails — Validate a user prompt before it reaches your AI Agent. Blocked prompts are routed to a separate output; allowed prompts continue normally.
• Ingestion — Ingest the user prompt and AI Agent response into Akto for API security monitoring and observability.

Credentials

You need an Akto API credential with:

• Akto Data Ingestion URL — Base URL of your Akto data ingestion service (e.g. http://localhost:8080)
• Akto API Token — API token sent as the Authorization header on every request
• Timeout (seconds) — Request timeout (default: 5s)

Compatibility

Tested with n8n v1.x.

Usage

Typical AI Agent workflow

1. Add the Akto node before your AI Agent with operation set to Guardrails
2. Connect the Allowed output to your AI Agent
3. Add another Akto node after the AI Agent with operation set to Ingestion
4. The Ingestion node references the Guardrails node output by default — update the Prompt field if you rename the Guardrails node

The Guardrails node fails open: if the Akto service is unreachable, prompts are allowed through automatically.
