Frequently asked questions
How can I filter jobs by a specific location and salary range?
Use the search_jobs tool. You can provide parameters like LocationName (e.g., 'Washington, DC') and RemunerationMinimumAmount to narrow down the results to your specific needs.
Where can I find the full description of duties for a job posting?
The get_announcement_text tool is designed specifically for this. By providing the announcement number, the agent will retrieve the full text for Summary, Duties, and Qualifications.
How do I know which codes to use for occupational series like IT or Engineering?
You can use the get_code_list tool with the endpoint 'occupationalseries'. This will return a list of all valid codes and their corresponding titles (e.g., 2210 for Information Technology).
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 USAJOBS (OPM) 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.
