Frequently asked questions
Can I search for news articles from a specific date range?
Yes! Use the search_everything tool and provide the from and to parameters in ISO 8601 format (e.g., 2023-12-01) to restrict your search to a specific timeframe.
How do I find the top business headlines in a specific country like the UK?
You can use the get_top_headlines tool. Set the country parameter to 'gb' and the category parameter to 'business' to get the latest relevant news.
Is it possible to see which news sources are available for a specific language?
Absolutely. Use the list_sources tool and specify the language parameter (e.g., 'en', 'pt', 'fr') to retrieve a list of all supported publishers for that language.
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 News 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.
