<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion icon="sitemap" title="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

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

  <Accordion icon="shield" title="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
