Call `discover_hubspot_schema` before writing, so property names match the portal\n2. Use `search_crm_objects` with filter groups and a `properties` list instead of listing everything\n3. Expect `manage_crm_objects` to stop for user confirmation, so plan the turn around it\n4. Read `policyName` on a 429 to tell a 10-second burst from the daily cap\n5. Ask for Sensitive Data to stay off only if the job needs calls, emails or notes, since it blocks them\n\n### Pipedrive API + MCP\n\n1. Use v2 endpoints, which cost fewer tokens than v1\n2. Read `x-daily-requests-left` before a bulk run, since a search costs 40 tokens\n3. Send the token in the `x-api-token` header, never as `api_token` in the URL\n4.
