What does this PR do? What is the motivation?

Adds the workflows toolset to the MCP Server documentation page. The Workflows team has implemented an MCP toolset that exposes 5 tools for interacting with Datadog Workflow Automation. This PR documents those tools alongside the existing toolsets.

Changes:

  • Added workflows entry to the Toolsets list
  • Documented 5 tools: list_datadog_workflows, get_datadog_workflow, execute_datadog_workflow, get_datadog_workflow_instance,
    update_datadog_workflow_with_agent_trigger
  • Added reference link to /actions/workflows/

pull request will not pass CI, the GitLab pipeline will not run, and you won't get a branch preview. Getting a branch preview makes
it easier for us to check any issues with your PR, such as broken links.

If your branch doesn't follow this format, rename it or create a new branch and PR.

Used Claude Code for drafting tool descriptions and example prompts based on the source implementation.

Additional notes

Tool descriptions and example prompts were derived from the implementation at
dd-source/domains/mcp_services/libs/go/mcp/tools/workflows/workflows.go. The toolset is GA.
