Frequently asked questions
What format is required for the instance host?
Provide the full hostname without the 'https://' prefix, for example: box.yourdomain.com.
Can I add multiple forwarding targets to an alias?
Yes, when using the create_or_update_alias tool, provide a comma-separated list of emails in the forwards_to field.
Does this work with 2FA enabled accounts?
The current API implementation uses Basic Auth. If 2FA is enabled on your admin account, you may need to use an API key or a dedicated admin user without 2FA for the integration.
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 Mail-in-a-Box 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.
