Frequently asked questions
Can I check a specific student's grades for a course?
Yes. Use the get_user_grades tool by providing the course_id and the student's username. The agent will return the grading breakdown for that specific user.
Is it possible to enroll a user in a course via the AI?
Absolutely. The enroll_in_course tool allows you to register the authenticated user into any course by specifying its unique course_id.
Can I update user profile information like names or emails?
Yes, the update_user_profile tool enables you to modify the name or email associated with a specific username in your Open edX instance.
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 edX Alternative 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.
