OpenAI Agents SDK Multi-Agent Workflow Framework for Python

The OpenAI Agents SDK is a lightweight Python framework for building multi-agent workflows. It supports 100+ LLMs, provides built-in guardrails, handoffs between agents, MCP tool integration, tracing, sessions, and real-time voice capabilities.

Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:

• pip install openai-agents
• uv init
• uv add openai-agents

Requirements and caveats from upstream:

• Agents: LLMs configured with instructions, tools, guardrails, and handoffs
• Sandbox Agents: Agents preconfigured to work with a container to perform work over long time horizons.
• Agents as tools / Handoffs: Delegating to other agents for specific tasks

Basic usage or getting-started notes:

• Run your first Sandbox Agent

• from agents.run import RunConfig

• Run this agent on the local filesystem
