Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Steam Web API Key?
Log in to your account and navigate to steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey to generate or copy your unique key.
Can I see my friends' status via AI?
Yes! The list_steam_friends tool allows your agent to retrieve high-fidelity status metadata and recently played games for your friend list.
How do I check my total playtime for a game?
Use the list_owned_games tool to retrieve your complete high-fidelity library along with total playtimes (in minutes) for each app.
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 Steam 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.
