What information do I need to identify an IoT SIM?

Each IoT SIM is uniquely identified by its **ICCID** (Integrated Circuit Card Identifier) -- a 19-20 digit number printed on the SIM card or available in your IoT Control Center dashboard. The ICCID is required for all device-specific operations like activation, suspension, and usage queries. You can list all your devices with `list_devices` to discover ICCIDs for your entire fleet.

How do data pools work and how can I prevent pool exhaustion?

Data pools are shared data plans across multiple IoT SIMs. Instead of each SIM having an individual cap, all devices in the pool draw from a common data bucket. Use `list_data_pools` to see your pools, `get_pool_usage` to check consumption and identify top-consuming devices, and set up alerts before reaching the limit. If a pool is near exhaustion, you can suspend low-priority devices with `suspend_device` or migrate high-usage devices to a different pool with `update_device_settings`.

Can I automatically diagnose why an IoT device went offline?

Yes. Use the `diagnose_connectivity` tool with the device's ICCID. It runs automated checks for network registration status, APN configuration, active data session, signal strength, and known network outages in the device's area. The tool returns detailed diagnostic results with recommended actions -- helping your field engineers resolve connectivity issues without manual portal navigation.

About AT&T IoT MCP Server

Connect your AT&T IoT account to any AI agent and take full command of your IoT SIM fleet through natural conversation.

AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use AT&T IoT tools. Connect 10 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.

What you can do

Device Inventory -- List all IoT SIMs with ICCIDs, statuses (active, suspended, deactivated), data plan names, and last activity dates
Real-Time Status -- Get live connectivity state, IP address, signal strength, data used/remaining, and suspension reasons for any SIM
Activate & Suspend -- Instantly activate suspended devices or suspend compromised SIMs to block network access and contain costs
Resume Devices -- Restore network access to suspended SIMs after troubleshooting or policy clearance without reprovisioning
Data Usage Tracking -- Retrieve current and historical usage per SIM with daily breakdowns, overage alerts, and cycle forecasts
Data Pool Management -- List shared data pools, monitor aggregate consumption, identify top-consuming devices, and prevent pool exhaustion
Device Configuration -- Update rate limits, APN settings, and pool assignments to optimize performance or migrate devices between plans
Automated Diagnostics -- Run connectivity troubleshooting checks including network registration, APN config, data session status, and known outages

The AT&T IoT MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to AutoGen in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

AT&T IoT + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating AT&T IoT 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 AT&T IoT 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.
