FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Can my AI automatically find the details and status for a specific project just by providing its ID?

Yes! Use the get_project tool with the Project ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, including job status, linked leads, and material requirements in seconds.

02

How do I find my Richards CRM API Key?

Log in to your Richards CRM account, navigate to the integration or API settings section, and you will find your unique secret API key there.

03

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 Richards CRM tools during their conversation turns.

04

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.

05

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.
