Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically send an email using a SendGrid dynamic template?
Yes! Use the send_email tool. Provide the destination email and the Template ID, and your agent will deliver the message via SendGrid's infrastructure instantly.
How do I check the global email statistics for my account?
Simply ask the agent to run the get_email_stats action. Provide a start date, and it will retrieve aggregate metrics including requests, delivered, opens, and clicks.
How do I find my SendGrid API Key?
Log in to your SendGrid dashboard, navigate to Settings > API Keys, and click 'Create API Key' to generate your unique secret key (SG.xxx).
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.
