Bias Analysis

windows_tools
⚠️
windows_first
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. It references Microsoft PowerShell as the primary method for generating GUIDs and provides a PowerShell script as the first scripting example for obtaining an access token. While a cURL example is also provided, the ordering and explicit mention of PowerShell tools and commands suggest a Windows-first approach. There is no explicit Linux shell or cross-platform alternative for GUID generation, and the PowerShell script is presented before the cURL example.
Recommendations:
- When suggesting GUID generation, provide both PowerShell (Windows) and Linux/macOS (e.g., `uuidgen` or `cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid`) command examples, or mention cross-platform tools first.
- Present scripting examples in parallel (PowerShell and cURL/bash) or lead with a cross-platform tool like cURL, to avoid the impression of Windows-first bias.
- Explicitly mention that all steps and scripts are cross-platform where possible, and provide Linux/macOS equivalents for any Windows-specific instructions.
- Where referencing online tools, clarify that they are platform-agnostic.
- Consider including bash or Python script examples alongside PowerShell for parity.
