Frequently asked questions
Can I check the status of a specific order using its ID?
Yes! Use the get_order tool with the Order ID. Your agent will return the current fulfillment status, tracking information, and shipment details associated with that order.
How do I see current inventory levels across different warehouse locations?
You can use the get_inventory_levels_by_location tool. It provides a breakdown of on-hand, fulfillable, and committed inventory for each ShipBob fulfillment center.
Is it possible to cancel an order through the AI agent?
Yes, if the order is in a cancellable state, you can use the cancel_order tool by providing the Order ID to stop the fulfillment process.
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.
