Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key?
No! NHTSA data is completely free and open government data. No authentication required.
What is a VIN?
VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique 17-character code assigned to every vehicle. It encodes the manufacturer, model, year, engine type, assembly plant and more. Find it on your dashboard or driver's door jamb.
Can I check recalls for my car?
Yes! Use get_recalls_by_vehicle with your car's make, model and year. Or use decode_vin with your VIN for complete vehicle details including any open recalls.
What do safety ratings mean?
NHTSA rates vehicles 1-5 stars in frontal crash, side crash and rollover tests. Overall rating combines all categories. 5 stars is the highest safety rating.
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 NHTSA Vehicle Safety 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.
