Frequently asked questions
How can I filter documents by a specific government agency?
Use the search_documents tool and provide the agencyId parameter (e.g., 'EPA', 'FAA', or 'CMS'). This will restrict the results to materials published only by that specific agency.
Is it possible to see what the public is saying about a specific rule?
Yes! Use the search_comments tool with the commentOnId parameter set to the unique Document ID. You can then use get_comment with a specific Comment ID to read the full text of any submission.
How do I get the complete history of a specific rulemaking folder?
Use the get_docket tool with the specific Docket ID. This retrieves the primary metadata for the docket, while search_documents with the same docket ID can list all associated rules and supporting materials.
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.
