Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Tavily API Key?
Log in to your Tavily dashboard, and you will find your API Key on the overview page. Copy and paste it below.
What is Search Context vs Web Search?
Search Context is optimized for direct ingestion by LLMs, providing a denser format of information, while Web Search provides standard curated results with snippets and scores.
Can the agent extract content from any website?
Yes. The extract_content tool allows your agent to retrieve the cleaned main text from any accessible URL, bypassing ads and navigation elements for structured analysis.
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 Tavily 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.
