Can I check if my automations failed recently through the agent?

Yes. The `list_recipe_jobs` tool allows your AI agent to retrieve the execution history for any recipe ID, showing you which jobs succeeded and which encountered errors so you can monitor health through chat.

How do I know if an app connection is still active?

You can use the `list_app_connections` tool. It will return all configured connections in your Workato account along with their current status, helping you identify disconnected apps immediately.

Can I see which workflows are available as REST APIs?

Absolutely. Use the `get_api_collections` tool to retrieve a list of all API collections exposed by your Workato tenant, showing you which recipes are ready for external invocation.

Workato + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Workato 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 Workato 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.
