Known Pitfalls
| Pitfall | Details |
|---|---|
| Agent ID required for containers | PHANTOMBUSTER_GET_CONTAINERS_FETCH_ALL requires a valid agentId -- always resolve it first via PHANTOMBUSTER_GET_AGENTS_FETCH_ALL |
| API key authentication | All PhantomBuster tools require a valid API key connection -- verify authentication before calling any tools |
| Script bodies not included | PHANTOMBUSTER_GET_SCRIPTS_FETCH_ALL returns metadata only, not source code |
| Organization scope | Resource and usage tools operate at the organization level tied to your API key -- ensure the correct org is targeted |
| Branch operations | PHANTOMBUSTER_GET_BRANCHES_FETCH_ALL and PHANTOMBUSTER_GET_BRANCHES_DIFF are for advanced script versioning -- use them to assess staging vs. release changes before deployment |
