Frequently asked questions
How can I filter single-employer pension plans for a specific state?
You can use the list_single_employer_plans tool and provide the two-letter state code (e.g., 'NY' or 'CA') in the state parameter to get localized results.
Can I retrieve ERISA 4044 interest rates for a specific year and quarter?
Yes! The list_erisa_4044_rates tool accepts optional year and quarter parameters to fetch the exact interest assumptions you need for valuation.
Is it possible to see financial assistance payments by fiscal year?
Absolutely. Use the list_financial_assistance tool and specify the fiscal_year (e.g., 2023) to see all payments made to multiemployer plans during that period.
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.
