Frequently asked questions
Can I filter movies by specific genres and ratings?
Yes! Use the discover_movies tool. You can provide genre IDs in with_genres and use other filters like sort_by to find highly-rated content.
How do I get information about a specific actor?
Use the get_person_details tool with the person's unique ID. It will return their biography, place of birth, and other metadata.
Can I see the episodes of a specific TV season?
Absolutely. Use get_tv_season_details by providing the series_id and the season_number. It will list all episodes in that season.
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 TMDB (The Movie Database) 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.
