Frequently asked questions
Can I upload images and post them to my feed using the AI?
Yes! First, use the upload_media tool to upload your file and get a media ID. Then, use the create_status tool and include that ID in the media_ids array to publish your post.
How do I see what's trending on my Pixelfed instance?
You can use the get_tag_timeline tool with a specific hashtag to see related posts, or use get_public_timeline to see the most recent public posts across the instance.
Is it possible to manage my followers through this integration?
Absolutely. You can use get_followers and get_following to list accounts, and use follow_account or unfollow_account to manage your connections.
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 Pixelfed (Instagram Alternative) 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.
