1. Identify the node type and operation you need to configure.
2. Use `get_node` with the default `standard` detail level to get the required fields and common options.
3. Configure the required fields based on the operation.
4. Validate the configuration using `validate_node`.
5. If validation fails, use `get_node` with `mode: search_properties` to find specific fields or `detail: full` for the complete schema.
6. Add optional fields as needed.
7. Validate the configuration again.
8. Deploy the workflow.
