OpenAI Agents SDK: Handoffs, Guardrails, Tracing
OpenAI Agents SDK is the lightweight multi-agent framework built on the Responses API. Five primitives: Agent, Handoff, Guardrail, Session, Tracing. Handoffs are tools named `transfer_to_<agent>`. Guardrails trip on input or output. Tracing is on by default.
