Frequently asked questions
How many datasets does the ONS have?
The ONS API currently exposes 337+ datasets covering economy, population, health, trade, business, census, well-being, and more. New datasets are added regularly as part of the ONS Beta programme.
What format does the data come in?

Is the API free to use?
Yes, the ONS Developer API is completely free and open, requiring no authentication or API keys, allowing developers unrestricted access to UK national statistics.
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 UK ONS Discovery — Search 337+ Statistical Datasets 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?
