Frequently asked questions
Can I search for candidates by their name or status?
Yes! Use the search_candidates tool with a filter like first_name:"John". The agent will return matching profiles from your CATS database.
How do I see the latest notes added to a candidate?
Use the list_recruitment_activities tool. Your agent will fetch the recent activity feed, which includes notes, status changes, and emails for all candidates.
Where do I find my CATS v3 API Key?
Log in to your CATS account, go to 'Administration' and look for the 'API' section. You can generate and copy your v3 key from there.
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.
