Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.
Rules
- Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
- Never print API keys.
