Can I see how many users are currently logged in?

Yes! Use the `list_active_sessions` tool. The agent will return a list of all current sessions, allowing you to gauge real-time platform activity.

How do I check if a specific user belongs to an organization?

Use the `list_clerk_organizations` tool to find the organization and then review its members, or use `get_user_auth_details` to see the user's specific organization memberships.

Where do I find my Clerk Secret Key?

Log in to your Clerk Dashboard, select your application, and navigate to **API Keys**. You can find your Secret Key starting with `sk_` there.
