Frequently asked questions
Can I send a fax to any number worldwide?
Yes. The send_fax tool transmits a document to any fax number. Provide the destination number in international format and the document content. Use get_fax_status to track delivery confirmation in real-time.
Can I retry a failed fax transmission?
Yes. Use resend_fax with the original fax ID to retry a failed transmission. Use list_faxes to see all faxes and their status, then identify failed ones for retry.
How does iFax API authentication work?
iFax uses a custom accessToken header (not standard Bearer) for authentication. Your API key from the iFax dashboard is sent in all requests to api.ifaxapp.com/v1.
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.
