How do I check if a player is offline?

Use the `list_players` tool. It will return a list of all players including their current status (online/offline) and last seen timestamp.

Can I see which media files are available for broadcast?

Yes. Use the `list_medias` tool to retrieve your library, including filenames, IDs, and file types. This is perfect for auditing your content before scheduling.

Is it possible to manage users via the agent?

You can list existing users and groups using the `list_users` tool to audit permissions and access, but creating or deleting users must be done in the 4YouSee Manager.

Common questions about integrating 4YouSee MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call 4YouSee tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
