missing required string argument `workflow_id`

Error message

missing required string argument `workflow_id`

What it means

The workflow-id reader found neither `workflow_id` nor the legacy `skill_id` alias in the tool arguments. This dedicated helper exists for rename back-compat, so this fires only when both keys are missing/empty — the caller used neither the current nor the pre-rename name for the workflow reference.

Solutions

1. Pass `workflow_id` (or legacy `skill_id`) as a non-empty string
2. Copy the id from the workflow listing output
