OpenAI Agents SDK (Python)
OpenAI’s MIT-licensed Python kit for multi-agent workflows, handoffs, guardrails, and tracing with the Responses API.
Why it is included
Prominent on TAAFT’s #llm repository index as OpenAI’s official open multi-agent framework.
Best for
Teams standardizing on OpenAI models who want structured agent graphs in Python.
Strengths
- First-party patterns
- Tracing hooks
- Composable agents
Limitations
- Vendor API assumptions; not a local-model-first stack
