Frequently asked questions
Can I check if a specific item is available for a date range?
Yes. Use check_item_availability with the Item ID, start date, and end date (YYYY-MM-DD format) to verify if the item is free for that period. Use list_availability for a complete overview of all items and their current availability status.
Can I track overdue rentals that haven't been returned?
Yes. The list_overdue_hires tool retrieves all rentals past their return date with customer info, item details, and days overdue. Use list_hires_by_status with 'overdue' status for the same result, or filter by 'active', 'returned', or 'pending'.
Can I create a new rental booking through the AI agent?
Yes. Use create_hire with a JSON payload containing customer ID, item IDs, start date, end date, and any special instructions. Use list_items to browse available equipment and list_customers to find the customer. Use create_customer to add a new customer if needed.
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 HirePOS 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.
