Validate Workflow Graph
POST/api/automation/workflows/validate
Validate a node/edge graph without saving anything. Checks that the graph has exactly one trigger node, that every edge references existing nodes, and that every non-trigger node has an incoming connection.
Any valid API token can call this endpoint — no specific scope required. Manage tokens.
Body fields: nodes (required array), edges (required array).
Each returned error has a type (error or warning), a message, and - when tied to a specific node - a nodeId. The graph is valid when no entries of type error are present.

Response Headers
Unauthenticated — the bearer token is missing, revoked, expired, or malformed. Never retry automatically; fix the credential. See the Errors guide.
Forbidden — the token lacks a required scope, the endpoint is not available to API tokens, or the user behind the token lacks the permission. A human must adjust the token scopes or user permissions; do not retry.
Validation failed — the body is a field → messages map (Laravel shape) or the platform envelope with a stable machine-readable code. Fix the payload and resubmit.
Rate limited — platform limit is 1,000 requests/min; individual tokens may carry lower limits. Honor the Retry-After header before retrying. See the Rate Limits guide.
