Frequently asked questions
Can I create a draft without publishing it immediately?
Yes! When using the create_article tool, simply set the published parameter to false. The article will be saved as a draft in your account.
How do I find my own articles that I haven't published yet?
You can use the get_my_unpublished_articles tool. It will return a list of all your drafts currently stored on DEV.to.
Is it possible to update the tags or content of an existing post?
Absolutely. Use the update_article tool with the specific article id. You can modify the title, body, tags, and other metadata fields.
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 DEV.to 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.
