Frequently asked questions
How do I find my AdaptiveWork API Key?
Log in to AdaptiveWork, go to Settings > Extensions. You can generate or retrieve your API key from the API section. Make sure your user profile has 'API User' permissions enabled.
What is CZQL?
CZQL (Clarizen Query Language) is a SQL-like language used to query the AdaptiveWork database. It allows for complex filtering, sorting, and data retrieval across all your entities.
Can I manage multiple project locations?
Yes! Use the list_projects tool to view all projects across your entire organizational structure, regardless of their location or department.
How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?
Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.
Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.
Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?
Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
