Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API Key to use openFDA?
No, openFDA allows testing without a key (1,000 requests/day). However, registering for a free key increases your limits to 240 requests/minute and 120,000 requests/day.
Can I search for side effects of specific drugs?
Yes! Use the search_drug_adverse_events tool. For example, query openfda.generic_name:"aspirin" to see reported adverse events for Aspirin.
How can I track food recalls through this agent?
The search_food_enforcement tool allows you to query the CFSAN enforcement reports database. You can search by product description, state, or manufacturer.
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 FDA (openFDA) 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.
