Frequently asked questions
Does this tool provide the operating status for federal offices outside of Washington, DC?
No. The get_operating_status tool specifically retrieves the status for federal offices in the Washington, DC area as defined by the OPM.
How often is the government status updated?
The tool fetches data in real-time. Whenever the OPM updates their official status page, the get_operating_status tool will reflect those changes immediately.
Does this include specific dismissal procedures for snow or emergencies?
Yes. When you run get_operating_status, the response includes the full text of the OPM instructions, which cover telework requirements, excused absences, and staggered arrival/departure times.
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.
