Frequently asked questions
Can I check the status of an IRS form submission via AI?
Yes! Use the get_submission_status tool and provide the Submission ID. Your agent will retrieve the real-time status directly from TaxBandits.
How do I list all my registered businesses?
Run the list_businesses query. The agent will retrieve a complete list of all business entities currently configured in your TaxBandits account.
Is it possible to see draft forms waiting to be filed?
Absolutely. Use the list_tax_forms query. You can pass a JSON filter with the TaxYear and FormType to identify both filed and draft records.
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.
