How do I find my Halo Security API Key?

Log in to your Halo Security account, navigate to **Account Settings** and then to the **API** section. You will be able to generate and copy your unique API key from there.

Can I trigger a new scan through this integration?

Yes! Use the `trigger_scan` tool by providing the unique target ID of the asset you want to assess. Halo Security will initiate the scan immediately.

How are security issues categorized?

Issues are categorized by their severity (e.g., Critical, High, Medium, Low) and type (e.g., Vulnerability, Information, SSL Issue). You can use `list_issues` to see all findings.

Is it possible to add new domains to monitor?

Yes, the `add_target` tool allows you to add new domains or IP addresses to your security perimeter directly from the AI agent.

Halo Security + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Halo Security 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 Halo Security 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.
