## Known Pitfalls

| Pitfall | Detail |
|---------|--------|
| **GUID format** | All entity IDs are GUIDs (e.g., `"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"`). Do not include curly braces for opportunity/contact references. |
| **Reference format** | Related entity references use the format `"/entityset(GUID)"` (e.g., `"/accounts(abc-123)"`). Missing the leading slash or parentheses causes errors. |
| **OData filter syntax** | Use Dynamics 365 OData syntax for `filter` (e.g., `contains(fullname,'John')`). Incorrect syntax returns empty or error responses. |
| **user_id default** | Most tools default `user_id` to `"me"` for the authenticated user. Override only when acting on behalf of another user. |
| **Required fields** | `CREATE_OPPORTUNITY` requires `name`. Other create tools have no strict required fields but will create empty records without data. |
