Best Practices
Configuration Organization
Recommended structure
Recommended structure
Organization principles:
- Start simple - Configure one functionality at a time
- Test in isolation - Validate each configuration before adding others
- Document configurations - Keep record of integrations
- Monitor performance - Track impact of each configuration
- 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
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
Common problems
Configuration doesn’t appear:
- Check if the agent is active
