Why AutoGen?
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Workast 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.

Multi-agent conversations: multiple AutoGen agents discuss, delegate, and collaboratively use Workast tools to solve complex tasks
- —
Role-based architecture lets you assign Workast tool access to specific agents. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates
- —
Human-in-the-loop support: agents can pause for human approval before executing sensitive Workast tool calls
- —
Code execution sandbox: AutoGen agents can write and run code that processes Workast tool responses in an isolated environment

Why teams choose Vinkius for Workast in AutoGen
The Workast MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 12 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in AutoGen only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
How do I generate a Workast API Token?
Log in to Workast, go to your profile icon, select Preferences > API, and click 'Generate new token' to create your unique access credential.
What is a 'Space' in Workast?
A Space is a container for your task lists. It is typically used to organize different projects, client work, or team-specific channels within your workspace.
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 Workast 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.
