Frequently asked questions
Can I search for specific keywords across all government documents?
Yes! Use the search_govinfo tool with Lucene syntax to perform complex queries. You can filter by date, collection, or specific fields to find exactly what you need.
How do I get the actual text or PDF of a bill?
Use the get_package_content tool with the specific packageId and choose your preferred format (pdf, xml, mods, etc.) to retrieve the document content.
What types of document collections are available?
Run the list_collections tool to see all available sources. Common codes include 'BILLS' for Congressional Bills, 'FR' for the Federal Register, and 'CPD' for Compilation of Presidential Documents.
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 GovInfo (GPO Legislative Docs) 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.
