Use when working with Workato — workato enterprise automation platform management covering recipe inventory, job execution history, connection health, lookup table monitoring, and workspace management. Use when auditing integration recipes, investigating job failures, monitoring transaction quotas, or reviewing connector configurations.
Manage and monitor Workato automation recipes, connections, and job executions.
Always list recipes and connections before querying specific resources.

--help output.| Shortcut | Counter | Why |
|---|---|---|
| "I'll skip discovery and check known resources" | Always run Phase 1 discovery first | Resource names change, new resources appear — assumed names cause errors |
| "The user only asked for a quick check" | Follow the full discovery → analysis flow | Quick checks miss critical issues; structured analysis catches silent failures |
| "Default configuration is probably fine" | Audit configuration explicitly | Defaults often leave logging, security, and optimization features disabled |
| "Metrics aren't needed for this" | Always check relevant metrics when available | API/CLI responses show current state; metrics reveal trends and intermittent issues |
| "I don't have access to that" | Try the command and report the actual error | Assumed permission failures prevent useful investigation; actual errors are informative |
