Frequently asked questions
Can I see all contacts in a specific folk group via AI?
Yes! Use the list_contacts tool and provide the Group ID. Your agent will retrieve all profiles and metadata for the contacts in that specific group.
How do I add a new person to my folk directory?
Use the create_contact action. Provide the first name, last name, and email address to register the new contact in your folk account instantly.
Is it possible to see the interaction history for a contact via AI?
Absolutely. Run the list_interactions query with the Contact ID. The agent will retrieve a history of emails, meetings, and calls associated with that profile.
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.
