Frequently asked questions
Can I list all my active legal matters using my AI agent?
Yes! Use the list_matters tool to retrieve a comprehensive list of all legal matters registered in your Actionstep system.
How do I check details for a specific matter?
Simply provide the Matter ID to the get_matter_details tool. Your agent will fetch the full metadata, status, and assigned team.
Does it support OAuth 2.0 authentication?
Yes, it uses OAuth 2.0. You'll need to generate a Client ID and Client Secret in your developer portal to create an access token.
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 Actionstep 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.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
