Why AutoGen?
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Howspace tools. Connect 7 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.
- —
Multi-agent conversations: multiple AutoGen agents discuss, delegate, and collaboratively use Howspace tools to solve complex tasks
- —
Role-based architecture lets you assign Howspace tool access to specific agents. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates
- —
Human-in-the-loop support: agents can pause for human approval before executing sensitive Howspace tool calls
- —
Code execution sandbox: AutoGen agents can write and run code that processes Howspace tool responses in an isolated environment

Why teams choose Vinkius for Howspace in AutoGen
The Howspace MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 7 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in AutoGen only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

Every tool call from AutoGen to the Howspace MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I create a workspace and add participants through the AI agent?
Yes. Use create_workspace with a name to create a new collaborative workspace. Then use add_participant with the workspace ID, participant email, and optional first/last name to invite members. Use list_workspaces to see all existing workspaces and list_participants to review who is already in a workspace.
Does Howspace require a custom Base URL in addition to the API Key?
Yes. Howspace instances are hosted on custom subdomains, so you need to provide your Base URL (e.g., https://your-org.howspace.com) along with the API Key. The API Key is sent as a Bearer token, and all requests are routed to your specific Howspace instance.
Can I view all campaigns running in my Howspace account?
Yes. The list_campaigns tool retrieves all campaigns configured in your account, including engagement campaigns, communication sequences, and notification triggers. Use get_me to verify your authenticated identity and permissions.
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 Howspace 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.
