  We've introduced the **OpenAI Agents SDK** for Python which provides enhanced visibility into agent behavior and performance.

  **Installation**

  ```bash theme={null}
  pip install openinference-instrumentation-openai-agents openai-agents
  ```

  * Includes an OpenTelemetry Instrumentor that traces agents, LLM calls, tool usage, and handoffs.
  * With minimal setup, use the `register` function to connect your app to Phoenix and view real-time traces of agent workflows.
