Frequently asked questions
How do I find data for a specific local police department?
You can use the get_agency_summarized tool. You will need the agency's 9-character ORI (Originating Agency Identifier) to retrieve their specific reported statistics.
What kind of demographic information is available for crime victims?
The get_nibrs_victim_demographics tool allows you to filter victim data by age, race, or sex for specific offenses in states that support NIBRS reporting.
Can I compare crime trends over multiple years?
Yes. Tools like get_national_estimates and get_state_summarized accept start_year and end_year parameters to provide data across a historical range.
How does LlamaIndex connect to MCP servers?
Use the MCP client adapter to create a connection. LlamaIndex discovers all tools and wraps them as query engine tools compatible with any LlamaIndex agent.
Can I combine MCP tools with vector stores?
Yes. LlamaIndex agents can query FBI Crime Data Explorer tools and vector store indexes in the same turn, combining real-time and embedded data for grounded responses.
Does LlamaIndex support async MCP calls?
Yes. LlamaIndex's async agent framework supports concurrent MCP tool calls for high-throughput data processing pipelines.
