Frequently asked questions
How can I filter documents by a specific government agency?
Use the search_documents tool and provide the agencyId parameter (e.g., 'EPA', 'FAA', or 'CMS'). This will restrict the results to materials published only by that specific agency.
Is it possible to see what the public is saying about a specific rule?
Yes! Use the search_comments tool with the commentOnId parameter set to the unique Document ID. You can then use get_comment with a specific Comment ID to read the full text of any submission.
How do I get the complete history of a specific rulemaking folder?
Use the get_docket tool with the specific Docket ID. This retrieves the primary metadata for the docket, while search_documents with the same docket ID can list all associated rules and supporting materials.
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.
