Custom Code Tool node
Use the Custom Code Tool node to write code that an agent can run.
On this page, you’ll find the node parameters for the Custom Code Tool node and links to more resources.
Note
Parameter resolution in sub-nodes Sub-nodes behave differently to other nodes when processing multiple items using an expression.
Most nodes, including root nodes, take any number of items as input, process these items, and output the results. You can use expressions to refer to input items, and the node resolves the expression for each item in turn. For example, given an input of five name values, the expression {{ $json.name }} resolves to each name in turn.
In sub-nodes, the expression always resolves to the first item. For example, given an input of five name values, the expression {{ $json.name }} always resolves to the first name.
Node parameters

You can access the tool input using query. For example, to take the input string and lowercase it:
