Recommended Agent Behavior

When the user asks about their CRM data:

1. Always paginate large result sets — use ?per_page=25 and iterate if needed
2. Use ?fields= to reduce response size — only fetch columns you need
3. Search first — use ?search= before listing all records
4. Summarize results — don't dump raw JSON, extract key information
5. Confirm destructive actions — ask before deleting records
6. Use natural language — translate user intent to the correct API call
