OpenAI Agents SDK (JS/TS)

Use it when

• You are building a TypeScript or Node multi-agent workflow and need handoffs, tools, guardrails, sessions, and tracing without wiring the orchestration plumbing yourself
• You want a low-latency voice agent in the browser with tool calling and conversation history, connected over WebRTC via a realtime session

What it solves

Not the fit when

• Python projects; this is the JavaScript/TypeScript SDK
• requires Node.js 22+, Deno, or Bun; Cloudflare Workers support is experimental
• sandbox agents are in beta and UnixLocalSandboxClient is macOS/Linux only
• python agent runtimes
• local model serving
• browser automation infrastructure
• vendor-neutral model gateway routing

Install

npm install @openai/agents zod

Invoke

import { Agent, run } from '@openai/agents'; const result = await run(new Agent({ name: 'Assistant', instructions: '...' }), 'your task'); // set OPENAI_API_KEY
