Frequently asked questions
Can I see my current account balance via AI?
Yes! Use the get_account tool and provide the Account Identifier. Your agent will retrieve the current balance and available funds for that specific funding account.
How do I find the correct ID (UTID) for a specific gift card brand?
Run the get_catalog query. The agent will retrieve the full list of available brands and items, each with its unique UTID required for placing orders.
Is it possible to track if a reward has been delivered?
Absolutely. Use the get_order tool and provide the Order ID. The agent will retrieve the status, delivery details, and even the credentials if the reward is ready.
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 Tango 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.
