Frequently asked questions
How can I filter jobs by a specific location and salary range?
Use the search_jobs tool. You can provide parameters like LocationName (e.g., 'Washington, DC') and RemunerationMinimumAmount to narrow down the results to your specific needs.
Where can I find the full description of duties for a job posting?
The get_announcement_text tool is designed specifically for this. By providing the announcement number, the agent will retrieve the full text for Summary, Duties, and Qualifications.
How do I know which codes to use for occupational series like IT or Engineering?
You can use the get_code_list tool with the endpoint 'occupationalseries'. This will return a list of all valid codes and their corresponding titles (e.g., 2210 for Information Technology).
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 USAJOBS (OPM) 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.
