Can my AI automatically rewrite an older story using Arc Native Schema and safely publish the update?

Absolutely. Ask your agent to fetch a specific story by its ID. It understands the complex JSON structure of ANS, allows you to instruct it on what changes to make (e.g., 'Update the headline and add this new quote to paragraph 3'), and can dispatch an update command that preserves the content tree without breaking the CMS.

Is it possible to find specific high-res photos inside the ArcXP Media Library using natural language?

Yes! Use the photo assets search action to query tags or captions using descriptive words. The AI fetches the asset ID, caption, credit strings, and directly accessible image URLs, letting you browse your editorial imagery seamlessly.

Can I query what articles a specific editor has authored?

Yes! You can retrieve the Editor ID from the Author service and run an Elasticsearch query targeting their author object in the search tool. This quickly compiles all the CMS output for that specific reporter.

ArcXP + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating ArcXP 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 ArcXP 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.
