Frequently asked questions
How do I find documents from a specific agency like the FDA?
First, use the list_agencies tool to find the correct agency slug or ID. Then, use the search_documents tool and provide that slug in the agencies parameter to filter results.
Can I see documents before they are officially published in the daily register?
Yes! Use the search_public_inspection or get_current_public_inspection tools. These access the 'Public Inspection' desk, which contains documents filed for public review before their formal publication date.
Is it possible to search for documents related to a specific Regulation Identifier Number (RIN)?
Absolutely. Use the search_documents tool and provide the rin parameter. This will return all published documents associated with that specific regulatory action.
How does LangChain connect to MCP servers?
Use langchain-mcp-adapters to create an MCP client. LangChain discovers all tools and wraps them as native LangChain tools compatible with any agent type.
Which LangChain agent types work with MCP?
All agent types including ReAct, OpenAI Functions, and custom agents work with MCP tools. The tools appear as standard LangChain tools after the adapter wraps them.
Can I trace MCP tool calls in LangSmith?
Yes. All MCP tool invocations appear as traced steps in LangSmith, showing input parameters, response payloads, latency, and token usage.
