Pick the capabilities, say where each field gets its value, and run it before you save it. Building one costs nothing: what an account changes is where it is kept. Every rule the server enforces is checked here as you type, so saving cannot fail for a reason you could not see.
This is the "Turn a spreadsheet export into a web table" example with its sample values filled in. It is not saved yet: change anything, test it, then save it as your own.
· What it is called
· What it asks for
Declare a value here when it changes from run to run. Steps read it by its key. Anything that never changes belongs in the step itself as a fixed value, not here. A workflow may declare up to 10 inputs, and none at all is fine.
· What it does
Steps run top to bottom, one after another. A step can use a fixed value, one of the inputs above, or the output of any step above it. Up to 12 steps.
Every one of its 2 steps is pure computation, so a test run in the builder happens on your own machine and costs nothing. Your input is not sent to us for it.
Run from your saved workflows, from your code or from an assistant, the work happens on our machines and is metered: 2 credits, one call per step across 2 steps.
Adding a step that needs our side, meaning anything touching a key we hold, a database, the network or a file, would move the whole run onto our servers and it would be charged there too.

CSV to Markdown
Turn CSV text into a GitHub-style Markdown table. Detects the delimiter (comma, semicolon, tab or pipe) unless told, reads quoted fields with embedded delimiters and newlines, and can align columns and pad cells so the table lines up in plain text.
Reads: csv from input "csv"
Gives back:markdown textrows numbercolumns numberdelimiter textraggedLines list, usable by every step below as “Output of an earlier step”
· Where each field comes from
csv (required)Text (String)
The CSV text, rows separated by newlines. Example: name,age
Alice,30
Bob,25
delimiter (optional)Text (String)
Column separator: ",", ";", "|" or "tab". Defaults to "auto", which reads the first line. Example: auto
Left out. The capability will use its own default.
firstRowHeader (optional)Yes/no (Boolean)
Whether the first row holds the column names. Defaults to true. Example: true
Left out. The capability will use its own default.
padded (optional)Yes/no (Boolean)
Pad cells so the columns line up in plain text. Defaults to true. Example: true
Left out. The capability will use its own default.
alignment (optional)Text (String)
Column alignment: "left" (default), "center" or "right", or an array with one value per column. Example: left
Left out. The capability will use its own default.
What this step gives back
{
"markdown": "| name | age |\n| :---- | :-- |\n| Alice | 30 |\n| Bob | 25 |",
"rows": 2,
"columns": 2,
"delimiter": ",",
"raggedLines": []
}
A later step reading this one can take the whole object, or a path into it such as markdown.

Markdown to HTML
Convert Markdown to sanitized HTML, including GitHub tables, code blocks and task lists.
Reads: markdown from "markdown" of Markdown table
Gives back:html text
· Where each field comes from
markdown (required)Text (String)
The Markdown source to convert. Example: # Hello
This is **bold** text.
Takes text from “Markdown table”, for example | name | age | | :---- | :-- | | Alic....
What this step gives back
{
"html": "<h1>Hello</h1>\n<p>This is <strong>bold</strong> text.</p>"
}
A later step reading this one can take the whole object, or a path into it such as html.
· Test it before you save
This runs the workflow exactly as written, without saving it. It uses the real capabilities, so what you see is what a later run will do. Inputs are prefilled from the examples you gave them.
Stays on your device
This runs in your browser. What you put in is never sent to ToolForte, so we could not read it if we wanted to.
One exception, so the sentence above stays true: when a run finishes here we record that it happened, which ready made workflow it came from if it came from one, how many steps it had and how long it took. Never what you put in, never what came back, and never anything written into the steps themselves. It is how we can tell which tools are worth keeping.
Runs in your browser. No credits, nothing sent to us.
