Frequently asked questions
Can I see the scores for a specific application via AI?
Yes! Use the list_application_reviews tool. Your agent will retrieve the history of scores and comments provided by the reviewers for that application.
How do I create a new grant application using the agent?
Use the create_new_application action. Provide the Fund ID, Category ID, and the application title. The agent will instantly register the draft in your Good Grants account.
Is it possible to list all registered applicants via AI?
Absolutely. Use the list_account_users query. The agent will retrieve the complete directory of users and applicants stored in your platform.
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 Good Grants 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.
