What is the Responses API?

The Responses API provides a stateful, server-side capable interface for building agentic applications with automatic state management and polymorphic outputs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Stateful conversations with conversation IDs
  • Built-in tools: Code Interpreter, File Search, Web Search, Image Generation
  • MCP server integration for external tools
  • Background processing for long-running tasks
  • Polymorphic outputs for richer debugging and auditing

Quick Start

Install the OpenAI Responses SDK, set API keys, and start building stateful agent workflows.

FAQPage Schema
How do I maintain conversation state across multiple turns in an agentic application?

Stateful conversation management preserves reasoning and context across turns using conversation IDs. The Responses API handles automatic state management server-side, enabling multi-turn dialogs where each exchange builds on prior context without manual session tracking.

Can I integrate external tools with OpenAI's built-in capabilities like Code Interpreter and Web Search?

Yes. MCP server integration lets you connect external tools alongside built-in tools—Code Interpreter, File Search, Web Search, and Image Generation. This enables polymorphic workflows where agentic applications orchestrate both native and custom tools in a single conversation.

What's the best way to build RAG-powered agentic workflows with tool orchestration?

The Responses API combines server-side tool orchestration with built-in File Search and Web Search tools, automatic conversation state management, and background processing. This architecture supports RAG pipelines where agents retrieve, reason, and execute across multiple turns without manual state handling.

How does the Responses API handle long-running tasks in agentic applications?

Background processing allows long-running agentic tasks to complete asynchronously while maintaining conversation state. Polymorphic outputs provide richer debugging and auditing across turns, enabling applications to handle complex workflows on Node.js SDK or Cloudflare Workers without blocking.

Does the Responses API work with Node.js SDK and Cloudflare Workers?

Yes. The Responses API is compatible with both Node.js SDK and Cloudflare Workers, enabling stateful agentic applications across server and edge environments. Server-side capability ensures consistent state management regardless of deployment platform.
