To build production-ready agents using the OpenAI Agents SDK, follow workflow-driven guidance for defining tools, implementing handoffs, adding guardrails, and tracing to ensure robust agent architectures.

Handoffs in multi-agent orchestration are primitives that allow one agent to transfer a conversation to another. Use handoffs to enable specialized agents to handle distinct tasks within a larger system.

You add guardrails to OpenAI agents by implementing specific patterns within the Agents SDK. Guardrails validate inputs and outputs, improving reliability and preventing unexpected behavior in agent workflows.

Yes, you can use the OpenAI Agents SDK for TypeScript to orchestrate multi-agent systems. It provides primitives like Agent, Tool, Run, and RunContext to manage complex agent interactions and workflows.

The best way to debug agent behavior and review agent code is to use the SDK's tracing features alongside anti-pattern guidance and testing strategies to identify issues and improve quality.

Multi-agent workflows often fail during context handoffs due to improper RunContext management. Reviewing anti-pattern guidance and testing strategies helps identify context passing errors and improve reliability.
