OpenAI Agents SDK:
The OpenAI Agents SDK enables you to build agentic AI apps in a lightweight, easy-to-use package with very few abstractions. It’s a production-ready upgrade of our previous experimentation for agents, Swarm. The Agents SDK has a very small set of primitives:
- Agents, which are LLMs equipped with instructions and tools
- Handoffs, which allow agents to delegate to other agents for specific tasks
- Guardrails, which enable the inputs to agents to be validated
# Core Concepts
- Agents: LLMs configured with instructions, tools, guardrails, and handoffs
- Handoffs: A specialized tool call used by the Agents SDK for transferring control between agents
- Guardrails: Configurable safety checks for input and output validation
- Tracing: Built-in tracking of agent runs, allowing you to view, debug and optimize your workflows
