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 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 Regulations.gov (eRulemaking) 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.
