Lightweight, Python-first SDK for handoff-based agent flows. Architecture: Code-focused; seamless integration with OpenAI tools and guardrails. The maintained successor to the earlier OpenAI Swarm prototype. Best suited: Lightweight, Python-first handoff flows close to OpenAI tools and guardrails. Watch out: Minimal by design; complex orchestration needs cus…

Technical building block: can be automated, integrated, or operated.
Concrete cog in the system that works inside larger relationships.
The OpenAI Agents SDK is a software development kit for building agents that plan tasks, call tools, hand work to specialists, and deliver traceable results.
OpenAI released the Agents SDK in March 2025 as the successor to the experimental Swarm approach, formalizing tools, handoffs, and tracing.
An agent is a responsible worker with instructions and tools; tracing records when tools or specialists are used.
A central aspect of agent.
A central aspect of tool call.
A central aspect of handoff.
The SDK speeds up agent workflows; it does not replace permission design, testing, or expert control of risky actions.
