Frequently asked questions
How do I reply to a customer conversation using the AI?
You can use the add_reply tool. Just provide the Conversation ID and the body of your message, and the agent will send it to the customer via FreeScout.
Can I update the status or assignee of a ticket?
Yes! Use the update_conversation tool. You can change the status (active, pending, closed, spam) or provide an assignee_id to route the ticket to a specific team member.
Is it possible to add internal notes that the customer won't see?
Absolutely. Use the add_note tool to post internal comments on a conversation. These are visible to your team in FreeScout but are never sent to the customer.
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 FreeScout 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.
