Can I search for a specific lead or contact by name?

Yes! Use the `list_contacts` tool and provide the `search_text` parameter with the name, email, or details you are looking for. The agent will return the matching profiles.

How do I review the chat history of a conversation?

First, use `list_chats` to find the active or historical session. Then, use `get_chat_history` with the Chat ID to retrieve the full log of messages.

Can I send an OTP SMS to a user?

Yes. Use the `send_otp` action and provide the user's phone number (with the country code). BotPenguin will handle the integration to send the verification code.

Common questions about integrating BotPenguin 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 BotPenguin 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.
