AI Agents & Automation
Overview
OpenAI Agents SDK is a lightweight, low-abstraction multi-agent workflow SDK for building agent handoffs, tool-calling, and delegation workflows using OpenAI model APIs. It provides agents, handoffs, guardrails, sessions, built-in tracing, and realtime voice-agent capabilities. The SDK includes automatic function-tool schema generation from type hints and docstrings, native web search, code interpreter, and file search tools. It is tightly scoped for assistants and delegation workflows.
