Frequently asked questions
Can my AI search for tweets containing a specific competitor's hashtag?
Yes. Ask the agent to run a recent search tool utilizing your query (e.g., '#competitor'). It will grab the last 10 matching tweets within seconds, giving you raw sentiment and user commentary without opening the app.
How far back in time can the agent search for tweets?
The tool uses the standard v2 API limited to Recent Searches. This means the agent can perfectly fetch any matching tweets published in the last 7 days. It is optimized for reactive, fast-paced monitoring workflows.
Can it tell me if a specific user is verified or how many followers they have?
Absolutely. Providing the agent with the user's handle will invoke the lookup tool. It returns exactly what the developer sees: the verified status, follower metrics, account description, and geographic location if public.
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 X (Twitter) 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.
