Frequently asked questions
How do I find my AntEater API Key?
Log in to your AntEater Analytics dashboard, navigate to Settings > API, and copy your unique Access Token.
Can I search Slack messages via AI?
Yes! The search_activity tool allows your agent to perform keyword searches across your integrated Slack and email channels.
How do I list my active team members?
Use the list_users tool to retrieve your complete team directory along with the unique identifiers for all managed staff.
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 AntEater 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.
