Summary

Closes #21662

Actions (5 new, all AI-optimized):

  • run-workflow — runs a Workflow app's published workflow and returns its outputs; documents the draft-workflow and Cloudflare 100s-timeout gotchas from Dify's own API docs
  • list-conversations — lists an end user's conversations, scoped by User
  • list-knowledge-bases — lists datasets visible to the account; added beyond the original ask because query-knowledge-base needs a way to discover a Knowledge Base ID
  • query-knowledge-base — searches a knowledge base and returns the closest-matching chunks, with optional search method / top-K / score-threshold overrides

App + shared:

  • dify.app.mjs — added shared user and inputs propDefinitions, and request methods (sendChatMessage, runWorkflow, listConversations, listDatasets, retrieveFromDataset) built on a common _makeRequest using Authorization: Bearer $auth.api_key against https://api.dify.ai/v1
  • Descriptions call out that Dify uses two separate API key scopes — an app key for chat/workflow endpoints, a distinct knowledge-base key for dataset endpoints — since that's a real constraint of the underlying API, not something the code can paper over

All request payloads, response field names, and documented constraints (e.g. the 250-char query limit, the RetrievalModel required-field set) were verified against Dify's own OpenAPI spec (docs.dify.ai/en/api-reference/openapi_service.json), not guessed from prose docs.

Versioning: package bumped 0.0.10.1.0; all 5 new components start at 0.0.1.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Dify integration now includes authenticated API transport and actions for workflow execution, app parameter retrieval, conversation and message listing, and knowledge-base listing and querying.

Changes

Dify API integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Authenticated API client and endpoint wrappers
components/dify/dify.app.mjs, components/dify/package.json
The app now defines Dify props, Bearer-token authentication, shared Axios requests, and wrappers for workflow, conversation, message, parameter, and dataset endpoints. The package version and runtime dependency were updated.
Conversation and workflow actions
components/dify/actions/run-workflow/run-workflow.mjs, components/dify/actions/get-app-parameters/get-app-parameters.mjs, components/dify/actions/list-conversations/list-conversations.mjs, components/dify/actions/list-messages/list-messages.mjs
New actions run workflows, retrieve app parameters, and list conversations or messages. Each action maps inputs to Dify API parameters and returns a response summary.
Knowledge-base actions
components/dify/actions/list-knowledge-bases/list-knowledge-bases.mjs, components/dify/actions/query-knowledge-base/query-knowledge-base.mjs
New actions list datasets and query a dataset. Query validation and configurable retrieval settings are included.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fd809

Dify app and knowledge-base actions may require separate credentials. If one key is used for both, affected actions will fail authentication until credential handling is separated.

Explanation

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 8 files.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title accurately identifies the main Dify changes, including workflow, conversation, and knowledge-base actions. It also mentions sending chat messages, which is not present in the summarized changes and should be removed for full accuracy.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the required template, includes a summary, records versioning, confirms app integration, and identifies the CodeRabbit review status. It contains minor inconsistencies: it says five actions but lists four, and it references sendChatMessage although the objectives state that the Send Chat Message action was removed.

🌐 Web query:

Dify API reference app API key dataset knowledge base API key separate credentials

💡 Result:

In Dify, Application API keys and Knowledge Base (dataset) API keys are separate credentials with distinct scopes and management locations [1][2][3]. Key differences and management details: 1. Application API Keys: These are scoped to a specific application (Chatbot, Workflow, Agent, etc.) [1][4]. They allow you to interact with that specific app's interface (e.g., sending chat messages or triggering workflows) [1][5]. You manage these keys by navigating to the specific application in Dify and selecting API Access [5][4]. 2. Knowledge Base (Dataset) API Keys: These keys are used for programmatic management of your knowledge bases, including uploading documents, managing chunks, and retrieving knowledge metadata [6][7]. A single Knowledge Base API key has access to all knowledge bases visible to the account that created it [6][8][7]. You manage these keys by navigating to the Knowledge section in Dify and clicking Service API in the top-right corner [6][9][7]. Both types of keys use the same HTTP Bearer Authentication mechanism, where the key is passed in the Authorization header (e.g., Authorization: Bearer {API_KEY}) [10][4]. Because these credentials provide access to your AI services and data, Dify strictly advises that they should always be stored server-side and never exposed in client-side code [6][1][4]. You can enable or disable API access for individual knowledge bases via the API Access settings located within each specific knowledge base [6][7].

Use separate credentials for app and dataset endpoints.

_headers() always sends $auth.api_key, including from listDatasets() and retrieveFromDataset(). Dify requires distinct application and knowledge-base API keys, so add both fields to the Dify connection and select the correct key for each endpoint group.

- Update `user` field descriptions in `list-conversations` and
  `list-messages` to clarify that omitting the value results in an
  empty response rather than an error.

Keep shared user metadata in components/dify/dify.app.mjs.

Both actions locally redefine the shared user prop description. This can cause descriptions and examples to drift between actions.

  • components/dify/actions/list-conversations/list-conversations.mjs#L22-L22: remove the local description and use the shared user propDefinition; place the identifier guidance and example in components/dify/dify.app.mjs.
  • components/dify/actions/list-messages/list-messages.mjs#L27-L27: remove the local description and use the same shared user propDefinition; keep the message-history guidance in components/dify/dify.app.mjs.

As per path instructions, shared props must use the app file's propDefinitions, and component files must not duplicate prop descriptions.
