Frequently asked questions
How do I find my ContactOut API Key?
Log in to your account, navigate to Settings > API, and copy your unique access token.
Can I search for people by skills and location?
Yes! The search_people tool accepts a JSON object with filters like skills, location, and job_title programmatically.
How do I find an email using a LinkedIn URL?
Use the find_email_by_linkedin tool and provide the full LinkedIn profile URL to retrieve verified contact details.
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 ContactOut 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.
