When should I avoid autogen?

If you require tools supporting multiple programming languages beyond Python, as AutoGen is strictly a Python-based framework. When deploying in environments where connecting to external servers (like those used by MCP) could pose security risks or is prohibited. You need solutions which do not involve additional installations for server components such as playwright/mcp, as AutoGen requires this setup for certain functionalities.

When should I avoid Upsonic?
