Best Practices

Configuration Organization

Recommended structure

Organization principles:

1. Start simple - Configure one functionality at a time
2. Test in isolation - Validate each configuration before adding others
3. Document configurations - Keep record of integrations
4. Monitor performance - Track impact of each configuration
5. Optimize gradually - Adjust as needed

Start with Share Agent and MCP Server for basic functionality, then add more complex configurations.

Security and Performance

Important considerations

Security:

• 🔐 Protect API Keys - Use secure headers
• 🔄 Renew credentials regularly
• 📊 Monitor access - Track integration usage
• 🛡️ Validate permissions - Confirm necessary access

Performance:

• ⚡ Limit integrations - Don’t overload the agent
• 📈 Monitor latency - Track response time
• 💰 Consider costs - Multiple integrations increase costs
• 🎯 Optimize usage - Use only necessary configurations

Troubleshooting

Common problems

Configuration doesn’t appear:

• Check if the agent is active
• Confirm you have adequate permissions
• Reload the configuration page
• Check error logs in console

Integration doesn’t work:

• Test each configuration in isolation
• Check credentials and API keys
• Confirm network connectivity
• Consult specific configuration documentation

Slow performance:

• Reduce number of active configurations
• Optimize timeouts and parameters
• Monitor resource usage
• Consider using specialized agents

Authentication errors:

• Check credential validity
• Confirm header format
• Test authentication externally
• Renew tokens if necessary
