## Common Questions
Match user requests to endpoints in references/api-spec.lap. Key patterns:
- "List all automations?" -> GET /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/providers/Microsoft.Security/automations
- "Get automation details?" -> GET /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Security/automations/{automationName}
- "Update a automation?" -> PUT /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Security/automations/{automationName}
- "Delete a automation?" -> DELETE /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Security/automations/{automationName}
- "Create a validate?" -> POST /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Security/automations/{automationName}/validate
- "How to authenticate?" -> See Auth section above

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