Short answer

How can I see why my agents are failing?

You can pull the full message history and agent lists directly into your chat. This lets you pinpoint exactly which agent sent a bad instruction or missed a step in a multi-agent loop.

Where every issue lands.

Debug outcomes

Your AI uses these tools to categorize and resolve conversation errors.

LOGS

Trace message history

The AI pulls specific message sequences to show you the exact text exchanged between agents.

ROUTING

Identify faulty agents

Your AI looks at the active agent list to see which specific persona is responsible for a failure.

SESSION

Isolate specific runs

The AI finds the exact session ID where the error occurred so you aren't digging through old logs.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

When the logic is too broken to trace, the AI flags the session for you to step in and fix the prompt manually.

The workflow

What your AI does when a process fails.

The AI moves from broad session oversight to granular message inspection.

  1. Locate the error

    The AI scans through recent activity to find the specific conversation that went wrong.

  2. Identify the actors

    It checks which agents were active during that specific timeframe to see who was involved.

    list_agents

  3. Inspect the dialogue

    The AI reads the actual text sent between agents to find the logic break.

    list_messages

  4. Verify the participants

    It confirms the agent identities to ensure the right personas are being analyzed.

FAQ

How this task behaves

    No. The AI can only read the history and identify the error. You have to change the code or prompts yourself.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete old conversation logs?

    No. This MCP only provides read access to sessions, messages, and agents.

  • 03

    How does the AI know which session to look at?

    You tell it the session ID, or it can list recent sessions to find it for you.

  • 04

    Does this work with any agent framework?

    No. This specific connector is built for AutoGen.

  • 05

    Can the AI send new messages to the agents?
