Frequently asked questions
How do I find a teammate's phone number through the agent?
Use the search_employee tool and provide the teammate's name. Your agent will search the company directory and return their contact details, including phone and email.
Can the agent tell me who is on vacation today?
Yes. The list_whos_out tool provides a real-time list of all employees who are currently out of the office for time off, allowing you to check team availability instantly.
Is it possible to submit a time off request via chat?
Absolutely. Use the add_time_off_request tool by providing the employee ID, start and end dates, and the specific Time Off Type ID (e.g., Vacation or Sick Leave).
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 BambooHR 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.
