Openai Agents Python
This project is a Python framework for building autonomous, event-driven agent systems. It provides a unified runtime for orchestrating multi-agent workflows, managing persistent conversation state, and executing code within secure, isolated sandbox environments. The framework is designed to handle complex task delegation, allowing agents to invoke other agents as tools while maintaining context across multi-turn interactions.
The framework distinguishes itself through its deep integration with the Model Context Protocol, enabling agents to connect to external data sources and remote services using standardized communication protocols. It features a robust middleware-based guardrail system that intercepts inputs, outputs, and tool calls to enforce safety and quality constraints. Additionally, the platform includes specialized infrastructure for real-time voice AI development, supporting bidirectional streaming of audio and text with automatic interruption handling and low-latency session management.
Beyond its core orchestration capabilities, the project provides comprehensive tools for observability, including distributed tracing and lifecycle event monitoring. It supports flexible tool integration through automatic schema generation from code signatures, as well as human-in-the-loop controls that allow for manual approval of agent actions. The system is designed to be extensible, with pluggable storage backends for session persistence and configurable execution environments that range from local processes to containerized workspaces.
