PALO-AI n8n Alpha Test Report#

Date: 17 July 2026

Package: n8n-nodes-palo-ai 0.1.0

Target: n8n 2.30.7

Status: passed for isolated developer-preview evaluation; not production-ready

Scope#

This report records the evidence used to decide whether the connector source is ready to be published as an architecture/installable alpha. It does not establish security assurance, n8n verification, production support or an unavoidable execution boundary.

Gates completed#

Gate Result Evidence
Official scaffold Pass Generated with npm create @n8n/node and @n8n/node-cli 0.39.3
Strict community-node lint Pass npm run lint
TypeScript build Pass npm run build
Contract utility tests Pass Canonicalization, digests, decision routing, immutable claim, scope parsing and URL validation
Package inspection Pass npm pack; 17 files, 11.4 kB compressed, 43.6 kB unpacked
Development canvas load Pass Node rendered in n8n 2.30.7 with Allowed, Approval Required and Denied outputs
Tarball installation Pass .tgz installed in a clean disposable n8n user folder
Package registration Pass n8n exposed n8n-nodes-palo-ai.paloGovernance through its node-types endpoint
Credential handling Pass PALO API credential created and encrypted by n8n; secret absent from node output
Live gateway call Pass Installed node called the authenticated PALO Gateway on a local isolated test network
Fail-closed runtime behavior Pass Missing agent profile produced a successful workflow execution on the Denied output, with authorized: false

Real editor evidence#

Observed limitation#

The manually installed local tarball registered successfully and could be imported and executed, but it did not appear in the node-creator search because this sideloaded test does not create n8n's package-manager installation record. This must be re-tested through the normal community-package installation path after the npm package exists. Until then, do not claim catalog discoverability or n8n verification.

Publication decision#

  • GitHub architecture preview and source: eligible.
  • Local installable tarball: eligible for isolated evaluation.
  • npm public release: deferred until npm authentication/trusted publishing is configured and the post-publish community-package installation test passes.
  • n8n template submission or connector verification request: deferred until npm installation, catalog discovery, compatibility and feedback gates pass.

Reproduction#

bash code
cd packages/n8n-nodes-palo-ai
npm ci
npm run verify
npm pack

Use only a disposable self-hosted n8n instance, the local PALO reference gateway, mock data and reversible actions.
