FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Can I check the delivery status of a specific message via AI?

Yes! Use the get_message_details tool and provide the Message SID. Your agent will retrieve the real-time delivery status (e.g., sent, delivered, failed) and other metadata.

02

How do I find a new available phone number in the US?

Run the search_available_numbers query and set the countryCode parameter to 'US'. The agent will return a list of phone numbers available for purchase in that region.

03

Is it possible to see the costs associated with my messaging usage?

Absolutely. Use the get_usage_statistics tool to retrieve detailed usage records and associated costs for your SMS and voice services directly from TextGrid.

04

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.

05

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.

06

Does the SDK support streaming responses?

Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
