Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the Widget ID for a custom data widget?
The Widget ID is found in the Octoboard dashboard settings for any 'Custom Data' widget. You must provide this ID when using the send_numeric_metric or similar tools.
How do I find my Octoboard API Key?
Log in to Octoboard, navigate to your Account Settings > API, and you will find your unique secret token there.
Can I push table data to Octoboard using the AI?
Yes! Use the send_table_data tool. Provide the Widget ID, headers, and a 2D array of rows, and your agent will update the corresponding data table widget instantly.
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 Octoboard 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.
