*Originally published on [integrationstars.com](https://integrationstars.com/n8n/blog/n8n-agents-netsuite/). n8n facts checked against n8n's blog and docs on November 9, 2026. Agents are in Preview, so details can change.*

n8n Agents (announced September 25, 2026) flip the usual setup: instead of a workflow with an AI step inside it, the agent is in charge and calls your workflows as tools. For NetSuite that's a good thing, because the part that writes to the ERP stays in a workflow you built and tested.

Availability: n8n Cloud on all plans; self-hosted on all plans from 2.32.3. Queue mode isn't supported for agents yet, and self-hosted channels need a public URL (`N8N_WEBHOOK_URL`).

| Tool | Does | Approval | Notes | 
|---|---|---|---|
| Look up customer | Open orders, unpaid invoices, credit limit | None | Fixed SuiteQL; don't let the agent write queries | 
| Draft credit memo | Credit memo against one invoice | Required | Amount ≤ remaining balance; hard limit in an IF node | 
| Update customer field | One allow-listed field | Required | Return old and new value for the approver | 

Narrow inputs, one record type per tool, limits in the workflow rather than the prompt, and output a person can check at a glance.
