About Custom Code Tool
Custom Code Tool is an n8n node that lets you write JavaScript or Python code and expose it as a tool your AI agent can call. While n8n provides built-in tools for common tasks like web search and calculations, many business processes require custom logic that no pre-built node covers. This node bridges that gap — you write the specific function your agent needs, and it becomes a callable tool within the agent workflow.
The use cases are broad. You might write a custom tool that validates Australian Business Numbers (ABNs), formats data according to your company standards, queries a proprietary internal API, or applies business rules that are too specific for generic nodes. The agent receives a description of what your custom tool does, decides when to call it based on the task at hand, and uses the returned result in its reasoning and output.
At Osher Digital, Custom Code Tool is where we implement the business-specific logic that makes each AI agent project unique to the client. In our BOM weather data pipeline, custom code handled the specific data transformation logic that no standard node could. For custom AI development and system integrations, this node is often the key to connecting AI agents with legacy systems or proprietary data formats. If you have unique business logic that needs to be accessible to an AI agent, our n8n consulting team can build and test custom tools that fit your exact requirements.

How it works
We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Custom Code Tool
As Custom Code Tool consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Custom Code Tool with integrate and automate 800+ tools.
Step 1
Define what your custom tool needs to do
Write a clear specification of the tool function before coding. Define the input parameters it accepts, the logic it performs, and the output it returns. This clarity helps both your code implementation and the tool description the agent will read.
Step 2
Add Custom Code Tool to your AI Agent workflow
Place the Custom Code Tool node in your workflow and connect it to your AI Agent as an available tool. Set the tool name to something descriptive and action-oriented, like “validate_abn” or “calculate_shipping_cost”.
Step 3
Write a clear tool description for the agent
In the tool description field, explain what the tool does, when to use it, and what input it expects. Be specific — “Validates an 11-digit Australian Business Number and returns whether it is valid and the registered entity name” works far better than “Validates ABN”.
Step 4
Define input parameters and schema
Specify the parameters your tool accepts, including names, types, and descriptions. The agent uses this schema to know what data to pass when calling your tool. Keep parameters simple and well-documented for reliable agent usage.
Step 5
Write and test your code logic
Implement your function in JavaScript or Python. Include input validation, error handling, and clear return values. Test the node independently with sample inputs before connecting it to the agent to ensure your code works correctly in isolation.
Step 6
Integrate with the agent and test end-to-end
Connect the tool to your AI Agent, then send test queries that should trigger the tool. Verify the agent calls it at the right times, passes correct parameters, and uses the returned results appropriately in its final response.
