Frequently asked questions
Can I check the status of a specific payment request via AI?
Yes! Use the get_transaction_status tool and provide the Checkout Request ID. Your agent will retrieve the real-time payment status from Tingg.
How do I see my latest bank settlements?
Run the list_account_settlements query. The agent will retrieve a list of all funds that have been settled from your Tingg account to your linked bank account.
Is it possible to send money to a recipient (payout) via AI?
Absolutely. Use the initiate_payout_request action. Provide the payout details including amount, currency, and recipient info in the JSON payload to start the disbursement.
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 Tingg Insights 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.
