  • Historic Data Retrieval — Access bulk data for current and past job opportunity announcements (JOAs) for trend analysis or research.
  • Detailed Job Analysis — Fetch full text for specific announcements, including detailed summaries, duties, and qualification requirements.
  • Reference Data — Retrieve valid codes for occupational series, agency subelements, pay plans, and more to refine your searches.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

How can I filter jobs by a specific location and salary range?

Use the search_jobs tool. You can provide parameters like LocationName (e.g., 'Washington, DC') and RemunerationMinimumAmount to narrow down the results to your specific needs.

02

Where can I find the full description of duties for a job posting?

The get_announcement_text tool is designed specifically for this. By providing the announcement number, the agent will retrieve the full text for Summary, Duties, and Qualifications.

03

How do I know which codes to use for occupational series like IT or Engineering?

You can use the get_code_list tool with the endpoint 'occupationalseries'. This will return a list of all valid codes and their corresponding titles (e.g., 2210 for Information Technology).

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.
