Frequently asked questions
Can I send emails through my shared inbox using the AI agent?
Yes. The send_email tool sends an outgoing email through any connected mailbox. Provide the mailbox ID, recipient email, subject, and body (HTML or plain text). Use list_mailboxes to see all available shared inboxes and their IDs.
Can I view the full conversation history for a customer thread?
Yes. Use list_conversations with a mailbox ID to browse all threads, then call get_conversation_details with the conversation ID to retrieve the complete message history including sender, timestamp, and content for each message.
Does Helpwise require two separate credentials?
Yes. Helpwise uses HTTP Basic Authentication with an API Key and an API Secret. Both are generated in your Helpwise account under Settings > API. The credentials are Base64-encoded and sent in the Authorization header as Basic base64(apiKey:apiSecret).
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 Helpwise 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.
