Best Practices

  1. Be specific in your requests: Include names, IDs, or other identifying information when referring to specific resources.

  2. Use natural language: You don't need to memorize tool names or parameters; simply describe what you want to accomplish.

  3. Review before confirming: When Claude suggests changes, review them carefully before confirming.

  4. Start simple: Begin with simple queries to get familiar with how Claude interprets your requests.

Troubleshooting

If Claude is unable to perform an operation, consider the following:

  1. Authentication: Ensure you're logged in with the Auth0 CLI (auth0 login).

  2. Permissions: Verify your account has the necessary permissions in Auth0.

  3. Specificity: Try to be more specific in your request.
