Frequently asked questions
Can I convert currencies using rates from a specific past date?
Yes. Use the convert_currency tool and provide the date parameter in YYYY-MM-DD format to perform historical conversions.
How do I limit the results to only specific currencies?
When using get_latest_rates or get_historical_rates, use the symbols parameter to provide a comma-separated list of currency codes (e.g., 'EUR,GBP,JPY').
What is the maximum range for time-series data?
The get_timeseries tool typically supports a range of up to 365 days between the start_date and end_date parameters.
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.
