Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between 'Top Critic Average' and 'OpenCritic Rating'?
The 'Top Critic Average' is the simple numeric mean of scores, while the 'OpenCritic Rating' (Tier) categorizes the game into levels like Mighty, Strong, Fair, or Weak based on its performance relative to other games.
Can I see reviews from a specific publication like IGN or GameSpot?
Yes! Use the get_game_reviews tool with the Game ID. The response will include a list of individual reviews, identifying the critic and their publication for each snippet.
How do I find the best games released in a specific year?
Use the get_hall_of_fame tool and provide the target year. Your agent will retrieve the highest-rated games for that period according to OpenCritic's aggregate scores.
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 OpenCritic 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.
