Frequently asked questions
Can I update the stock level of a product if the current count is wrong?
Yes! You can use the inventory_product_stock tool to set a specific new amount, or add_product_stock to increase the current count by a specific value.
How do I mark a household chore as completed?
Simply use the execute_chore tool with the specific Chore ID. This will record the execution time and update the next scheduled date in Grocy.
Can I see what ingredients I need to buy for my recipes?
You can use get_recipe to see the required ingredients for a specific dish, and then use get_shopping_list to see if they are already listed for purchase.
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 Grocy (Home ERP) 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.
