Frequently asked questions
Can I see the scores for a specific application via AI?
Yes! Use the list_application_reviews tool. Your agent will retrieve the history of scores and comments provided by the reviewers for that application.
How do I create a new grant application using the agent?
Use the create_new_application action. Provide the Fund ID, Category ID, and the application title. The agent will instantly register the draft in your Good Grants account.
Is it possible to list all registered applicants via AI?
Absolutely. Use the list_account_users query. The agent will retrieve the complete directory of users and applicants stored in your platform.
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.
