## Common Questions
Match user requests to endpoints in references/api-spec.lap. Key patterns:
- "Create a queryResult?" -> POST /providers/{managementGroupsNamespace}/managementGroups/{managementGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.PolicyInsights/policyStates/{policyStatesResource}/queryResults
- "Create a summarize?" -> POST /providers/{managementGroupsNamespace}/managementGroups/{managementGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.PolicyInsights/policyStates/{policyStatesSummaryResource}/summarize
- "List all operations?" -> GET /providers/Microsoft.PolicyInsights/operations
- "List all $metadata?" -> GET /{scope}/providers/Microsoft.PolicyInsights/policyStates/$metadata
- "How to authenticate?" -> See Auth section above

## Response Tips
- Check response schemas in references/api-spec.lap for field details
