Frequently asked questions
Can I search for a specific player by name?
Yes! Use the list_players tool and provide the name in the search parameter. Your agent will return a list of matching players with their unique IDs and metadata.
How do I see the scores for all games played on a specific date?
Use the list_games tool and provide the date in the dates parameter (format YYYY-MM-DD). The response will include all games played on that day with their final scores.
Does the integration provide player season averages?
Absolutely. Use the get_season_averages tool by providing the specific season year and the player IDs. This will return averaged performance metrics for the requested period.
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 BallDontLie 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.
