+
+This tool helps manage AWS resources across multiple accounts in an organization.
+
+ACTIONS:
+  stop        - Stop running resources (EC2, RDS, EKS, EMR)
+  start       - Start stopped resources
+
+OPTIONS:
+  --dry-run            - Only show resources that would be affected without making changes
+  --regions            - Specify specific AWS regions to scan (comma separated)
+  --exclude-accounts   - Accounts to skip (comma separated account IDs)
+  --exclude-resources  - Resource types to skip (ec2, rds, eks, emr)
+  --help-detail        - Display this detailed help message
+
+EXAMPLES:
+  # Stop all resources in all accounts (dry run mode)
+  python main.py --action stop --dry-run
+  
+  # Start all resources in specific regions
+  python main.py --action start --regions us-east-1,us-west-2
+  
+  # Stop only EC2 and RDS instances
+  python main.py --exclude-resources eks emr
