Frequently asked questions
Can I check if a specific website is down using the agent?
Yes! Use the list_monitors tool to see the status of all your monitored URLs. You can also use get_monitor with a specific ID to see its current status and last checked timestamp.
How do I see who is currently on-call?
Simply ask the agent to list_on_calls. It will retrieve the current schedules and rotations, showing you who is responsible for incident response right now.
Does the integration allow me to create a new heartbeat monitor?
Currently, the toolset focuses on managing monitors and retrieving incident/on-call data. You can list and inspect heartbeats, but for creating new monitors with complex notification rules, we recommend using the Better Stack dashboard.
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.
