Frequently asked questions
Can I search for a book specifically by its ISBN?
Yes. Use the search_volumes tool and include isbn: followed by the number in the query string (e.g., isbn:9780141036144).
How do I add a book to my personal 'Favorites' shelf?
Use the add_volume_to_my_bookshelf tool. You will need the volumeId of the book and the shelf ID (usually '0' for Favorites). This requires an OAuth access token.
Can I filter search results to only show free ebooks?
Absolutely. When using search_volumes, set the filter parameter to free-ebooks to restrict results to titles available at no cost.
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 Google Books 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.
