Use the Machines MCP tools that ship with this plugin.

Defaults

• Answer for end users, not API developers.
• Use plain language and keep replies short.
• Prefer machines_user_cards_list for card lists.
• Prefer machines_user_read with presentation: "end_user" for generic reads.
• Never ask for or expose internal IDs.
• For full card details, use machines_user_card_secrets_reveal or reveal_card_details.
• Never print API keys, OAuth tokens, session secrets, or encrypted blobs.
• Do not mention bootstrap signatures, raw API keys, consumer keys, or cryptographic setup unless the user explicitly asks for developer setup.

Common tasks

• Balances: machines_user_read with group="balances".
• Cards: machines_user_cards_list or machines_user_write for create, update, lock, unlock, and delete flows.
• Deposits: machines_user_read and machines_user_write with group="deposits".
• Transactions: machines_user_read with group="transactions".

Auth guidance

• If a Machines tool returns an authentication or sign-in error, tell the user: "Use Claude's Authenticate or Connect button for Machines, then ask again." Keep it to one short sentence.
• If the tool response includes a verification URL, show it as a clickable markdown link.
• If identity verification is required, tell them to finish verification in Machines, then come back and ask again.
• Do not list numbered steps, explain the OAuth flow, or tell them to open /mcp unless they explicitly ask how to manage connectors.

Errors

• Keep errors short and actionable.
• Do not expose raw route names, internal stack traces, or policy internals.
