Debate BoxLock logs in AutoGen

Deploy a security agent that reviews `list_activities` output. It can challenge another agent's interpretation of a suspicious entry. They reach a consensus on whether to trigger `press_to_open`. You get a clear audit trail of their deliberation process.

Multi-agent control of BoxLock

Assign one agent to check `list_users` while another monitors `list_locks`. They communicate to verify if a user has the right to access a specific gate. This interaction prevents unauthorized unlocks. One agent acts as the validator, the other acts as the executor.

Configure this MCP Server for AutoGen

Use the adapter to map `get_lock` to your agents. They now have a shared understanding of device status. They negotiate based on the current lock state. If the device is offline, the agents pivot their strategy accordingly.

Setup guide

Set up BoxLock MCP in AutoGen

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
autogen-ext[mcp] package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install AutoGen with MCP
Run pip install "autogen-ext[mcp]" autogen-agentchat. The MCP extension includes mcp_server_tools for stateless tool access.
2

Fetch tools from the MCP
Call mcp_server_tools(SseServerParams(url=...)) with your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Run your agent
Pass the tools to AssistantAgent and call agent.run(). The agent invokes BoxLock tools and returns structured results.

agent.py

from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import SseServerParams, mcp_server_tools
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

server_params = SseServerParams(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

tools = await mcp_server_tools(server_params)

agent = AssistantAgent(
    name="BoxLock_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent BoxLock data")
print(result.messages[-1].content)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
autogen-ext[mcp] + autogen-agentchat
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Same packages as above. McpWorkbench is ideal when your agent needs stateful sessions across multiple tool calls.
2

Use McpWorkbench as context manager
Wrap your agent in async with McpWorkbench(...) to maintain shared state and resources. The workbench manages the full MCP session lifecycle.
3

Run with workbench
Pass workbench=workbench to your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.

agent.py

from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, SseServerParams
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

server_params = SseServerParams(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench:
    agent = AssistantAgent(
        name="BoxLock_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent BoxLock data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)

Common questions about BoxLock MCP in AutoGen

You register the tools with the AssistantAgent. All agents in the group chat can then propose tool calls to reach a decision.

The agents debate the necessity of the call before executing. You can set up a human-in-the-loop requirement to approve any `press_to_open` action.

Yes, the tool outputs become part of the chat history. Agents read the previous turns to understand the state of the locks.

Install the extension package and provide the Vinkius URL. The adapter handles the schema conversion so agents understand the tool signatures.

The server only sends user data to the agents you authorize. Your Vinkius token acts as the gatekeeper for all information exchange.
