Resolve path conflicts in AutoGen agent debates

The `test_glob` tool provides a single source of truth when your AutoGen developer agent and security agent debate which files to include in a deployment. The agents submit disputed file paths to the matching engine to get an objective verdict. This eliminates guesswork during multi-agent negotiation. Because the tool uses the identical matching logic found in git, both agents reach an immediate consensus based on standard industry rules.

Deploy the Glob Pattern Tester MCP Server for multi-agent systems

The `test_glob` tool registers with your AutoGen assistant agents using the standard MCP server tool adapter. Once connected, any agent in your conversation group can invoke the tool to validate file paths against build configurations. The adapter handles schema conversion automatically, translating the tool definition into a format your agents understand. This allows direct integration into complex multi-agent conversation pipelines without custom parsing code.

Validate CI/CD rules during agent-driven code generation

The `test_glob` tool verifies that newly generated files comply with your project's inclusion and exclusion rules. Your AutoGen writing agent tests proposed file paths before writing code to disk, ensuring files don't bypass CI checks. If a path fails the glob test, the agent can automatically rename the file or adjust the directory structure. This proactive validation prevents broken pipelines before the code is even committed.

Setup guide

Set up Glob Pattern Tester 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 Glob Pattern Tester 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="Glob Pattern Tester_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Glob Pattern Tester 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="Glob Pattern Tester_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

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

Common questions about Glob Pattern Tester MCP in AutoGen

You register the MCP server using the AutoGen extension tools adapter and pass the resulting tools to your assistant agent. The agents can then call `test_glob` during their conversations.

Yes, the server handles concurrent requests from different agents in your conversation group. Each agent can test its own file paths using the `test_glob` tool without interference.

The tool uses the minimatch library, which perfectly matches the behavior of git and npm. Your AutoGen agents can rely on standard wildcard and brace expansion behaviors.

No, the tool only evaluates the string patterns and file paths you provide. It does not read your actual disk or require directory traversal permissions.

The MCP server processes all path evaluations inside an isolated, ephemeral memory space. The server never writes your glob patterns or file paths to disk, nor does it share them with external APIs.
