Verify Nylas webhook signatures to prevent forged events
Nylas webhooks require two security checks: an endpoint challenge during setup and cryptographic signature verification on each payload. The challenge proves you control the URL, while the signature ensures the data is genuine and untampered. Skipping signature verification leaves your endpoint vulnerable to accepting forged POST requests.

This is a solid security primer for any developer using webhooks, though the CLI debugging tips are Nylas-specific.
