Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to expose my company's payrolls to the AI?
Yes. This connector runs entirely on your local machine or trusted enclave natively. No employee data, payload information or generated queries are routed to our servers—your API interactions occur directly from your environment straight to SmartHR's endpoints.
Can the agent calculate average payroll over time automatically?
Absolutely. Just prompt your agent: 'List all payrolls from Q2, and display the average distribution'. The agent will call the list_payrolls endpoint, retrieve the raw figures, do the mathematical operation independently in context, and present you a very clear table or markdown summary.
How do I look up which internal department an employee works for?
You don't need to specify the exact tool. You can simply ask: 'What department is crew member [Name] in?'. Your AI will automatically use the list_crews tool and cross reference the results with list_departments to formulate a correct response.
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.
