OpenAI Agents SDK lets Python developers build web-searching, tool-using agents
The OpenAI Agents SDK simplifies creating AI agents in Python that can search the web, call custom Python functions, remember past conversations, and trace their steps. Released in a tutorial by KDnuggets, the SDK abstracts away the complexity of tool-calling loops, letting developers focus on defining agent instructions and tools. Users install the package via pip install openai-agents or uv…
Key points
- OpenAI Agents SDK enables Python agents with web search, custom tools, and conversation memory via `pip install openai-agents`
- Example tools include a hosted `WebSearchTool()` and a `@tool`-decorated Python function for calculations
- Conversation history persists via SQLite (or other backends) and traces are viewable in the OpenAI dashboard
