Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Division ID?
Use the get_me tool to retrieve your current authenticated user profile and the active Division ID associated with your account.
Can I register hours for a specific date?
Yes! The create_time_transaction tool requires a Date parameter in YYYY-MM-DD format to log work entries accurately.
Which regions are supported for Exact Online?
Common regions include 'nl', 'be', 'com', 'co.uk'. Check your login URL (e.g., start.exactonline.nl) to confirm your specific region code.
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 Exact Online Bouw 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.
