AutoGen: Debating New Item Creation

You can set up a system where one agent acts as the 'Validator' and another is the 'Creator.' The Validator first checks `get_item_details` to see if an item already exists. If not, the Creator then debates whether `create_new_item` should be run. The agents discuss risks (e.g., conflicting names) and converge on a final decision for you, requiring no manual step-by-step prompting.

Sales Order Negotiation with MCP Server

Need to process an order? Assign one agent to handle the `list_sales_orders` API call. Give another agent the role of 'Compliance Officer' who checks for missing data points in the resulting records. They debate if the order is ready for processing, which prevents bad inputs into `create_sales_order`. This consensus model ensures that only fully vetted transactions proceed.

Handling Zoho Inventory Stock Checks

A performance agent can be tasked with repeatedly calling `list_inventory_items` to check stock levels against multiple order requirements. A security agent simultaneously debates if the requested quantity exceeds available capacity. The outcome is a negotiated, guaranteed-safe inventory update plan derived from the MCP Server's data.

Setup guide

Set up Zoho Inventory 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 Zoho Inventory 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="Zoho Inventory_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent Zoho Inventory 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="Zoho Inventory_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

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

Common questions about Zoho Inventory MCP in AutoGen

It uses multi-agent conversation. The agents don’t just execute tools; they argue about whether and how the tools should be executed, leading to a consensus decision that you receive.

Set up 'Data Input Agent' (to gather details) and 'Execution Agent' (to call `create_new_item`). The debate ensures all required fields for the JSON body are present before the final API call.

Absolutely. You can assign an agent to solely focus on calling `list_sales_orders`. If there's a problem with the request, another agent debates how to fix the parameters before the call executes.

The core data types are structured records covering item names, rates, sales order line items, and customer details. The MCP Server manages all of it.

It's reached through deliberation. Multiple agents challenge each other’s initial conclusions until they reach an agreed-upon action plan that uses one or more of the available tools.
