# 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**](https://openai.github.io/openai-agents-python/agents): LLMs configured with instructions, tools, guardrails, and handoffs
- [**Sandbox Agents**](https://openai.github.io/openai-agents-python/sandbox_agents): Agents preconfigured to work with a container to perform work over long time horizons.
- **[Agents as tools](https://openai.github.io/openai-agents-python/tools/#agents-as-tools) / [Handoffs](https://openai.github.io/openai-agents-python/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
