Frequently asked questions
Can I search for a song if I only know a few words of the lyrics?
Yes! Use the search tool with the lyrics you remember. The agent will return the most relevant song matches from the Genius database.
How do I see the meaning behind a specific line in a song?
You can use get_referents with a song_id to see all annotated sections, or get_annotation with a specific ID to read the detailed community explanation.
Is it possible to vote on annotations through the AI?
Absolutely. You can use upvote_annotation, downvote_annotation, or unvote_annotation by providing the Annotation ID, provided your token has the necessary scopes.
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 Genius 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.
