Why AutoGen?
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Todoist tools. Connect 12 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.

Frequently asked questions
Can I filter tasks for today using the AI?
Yes! Use the list_active_tasks tool and provide the filter parameter set to 'today'. Your agent will retrieve all tasks scheduled for the current date.
How do I add a new task to a specific project?
Use the create_task tool. Provide the content and the unique Project ID. You can also include a due_string like 'tomorrow at 10am' to set a deadline.
Is it possible to list all my labels via AI?
Absolutely. Run the list_all_labels query. The agent will retrieve the complete directory of labels you use to categorize tasks in your account.
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 Todoist 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.
