FAQPage Schema

How do I connect to the Census Bureau toolkit?▼

Use the RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS command with the census_bureau toolkit slug. Ensure the connection status is set to ACTIVE before attempting to execute any tools.

Why must I call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first?▼

Tool schemas and available endpoints for the Census Bureau change frequently. Calling RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS ensures your agent uses the most current arguments and tool definitions.

Can I reuse session IDs for multiple tasks?▼

Yes, you should reuse session IDs within a single logical workflow to maintain state. However, generate new session IDs for distinct, unrelated tasks to prevent data contamination.

What should I do if a tool execution fails?▼

Verify your connection status using RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS and check the tool schema returned by RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS to ensure your arguments match the required types and field names.
