FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I place a trade for a specific dollar amount instead of shares?

Yes, you can use the notional parameter in the create_order tool to specify the dollar amount you wish to trade for fractional-enabled assets.

How do I see only my open orders for a specific stock?

Use the get_orders tool and set the status to 'open' and provide the ticker in the symbols parameter.

Can I cancel all my pending orders at once if the market moves against me?

Absolutely. Use the delete_all_orders tool to instantly cancel all open orders in your account.

How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?

Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.

Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?

Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.

Does the SDK support streaming responses?

Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
