Agents SDK from OpenAI! | Full Tutorial

OpenAI have released an Agents SDK, their version of an open source agent development library akin to LangChain, Llama-Index, Pydantic AI, and others.

OpenAI have outlined a few features of the library in their announcement blog post:

- Agent Loop: Automated loop for tool calls and LLM interactions until completion.
- Python-First: Leverage Python features for agent orchestration without new abstractions.
- Handoffs: Seamless coordination and delegation between multiple agents.
- Guardrails: Parallel input validations to halt processes on failure.
- Function Tools: Convert Python functions into tools with auto-schema and validation.
- Tracing: Visualize, debug, and monitor workflows with OpenAI tools integration.

We'll focus on covering the essentials here - including the agent loop, python-first, guardrails, and function tools features.
