# OpenAI Agents API > The OpenAI Agents API runs OpenAI's managed Codex harness as a hosted service. One call creates a session with a model, tools, MCP servers, subagents and an OpenAI-hosted or self-hosted sandbox, and OpenAI runs the loop. - Canonical: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openai-agents-api - Pricing: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openai-agents-api#pricing - Reviews: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openai-agents-api#reviews - Markdown: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openai-agents-api.md (~7,800 tokens) - Slim: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openai-agents-api.min.md (~1,680 tokens, same facts, less prose, for token-sensitive contexts) - JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openai-agents-api.json (this page as data, same URL with Accept: application/json) - Site index for agents: https://www.anchorterminal.com/llms.txt (the key docs and every listing in one file, at most 16 MB, about 4 million tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/llms-full.txt) - API: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/index.json - MCP: https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (the whole catalogue as tools, no key) - DNS: dig +short TXT openai-agents-api.grade.anchorterminal.com (the grade as a DNS TXT record, for a sandbox with no HTTP where names still resolve; also top., best.. and .vs.. under the zone, and the same under grade.letme.dev) - Licence: CC BY 4.0, credit Anchor Terminal and link this page (https://www.anchorterminal.com/terms/#data) - Updated: 2026-11-06 ## Overview **Grade BB · 73.3/100 · rank #99 of 1354 · #2 in Agent harnesses · agent-ready · confidence medium** More from OpenAI, listed separately because each is its own product: [OpenAI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openai-api.md) (Model APIs & inference), [OpenAI embeddings](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openai-embeddings.md) (Embeddings & rerankers), [OpenAI Guardrails](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openai-guardrails.md) (Guardrails & safety filters), [OpenAI Moderation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openai-moderation.md) (Guardrails & safety filters), [OpenAI Image API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openai-image-api.md) (Image generation), [OpenAI Sora API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openai-sora.md) (Video generation), [OpenAI Speech to Text](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openai-speech-to-text.md) (Speech-to-text), [GPT-Live](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/gpt-live.md) (Conversational voice agents), [OpenAI Realtime API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openai-realtime.md) (Conversational voice agents), [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openai-agents-sdk.md) (Agent frameworks & SDKs), [OpenAI Decisions API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openai-decisions-api.md) (Decision models), [OpenAI Codex](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openai-codex.md) (Agent harnesses), [gpt-oss-120b](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/gpt-oss-120b.md) (Open-weight models), [gpt-oss-20b](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/gpt-oss-20b.md) (Open-weight models). ## Assessment OpenAI's hosted agent runtime, the Codex harness behind one session call, with MCP, functions, web search, computer use, subagents and sandboxes on OpenAI or your own infrastructure. Documentation, errors and SDKs are thorough. It's still public beta, can't use Zero Data Retention and keeps data in the United States only. ## Facts | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Vendor | OpenAI (https://openai.com/index/introducing-the-agents-api/) | | Kind | HTTP API | | Category | Agent harnesses (https://www.anchorterminal.com/categories/agent-harnesses) | | Transport | https | | Endpoint | `https://api.openai.com/v1/agents/sessions` | | Auth | API key · An OpenAI project API key as a Bearer token, with the header `OpenAI-Beta: agents=v1`. Project keys can be restricted per endpoint or read-only, and service accounts and workload identity federation are available, per the openai-api listing. Signing up and creating a key need a person in a browser. | | Pricing | Pay per use (Pay per use) · No fee for the API itself. Model tokens are billed at the chosen model's API rates, OpenAI tools at their built-in rates (web search $10.00 per 1,000 calls plus content tokens), and OpenAI-hosted sandboxes at container rates, $0.03 for 1 GB, $0.12 for 4 GB, $0.48 for 16 GB and $1.92 for 64 GB per 20-minute session, billed by the minute with a 5-minute minimum. Since 9 October sandbox compute is billed only during active turns (checked 2026-11-06). | | x402 | No · No x402, MPP or L402 in the Agents API guides or on OpenAI's pricing page; billing is to an OpenAI account (checked 2026-11-06). | | Licence | Proprietary hosted API under OpenAI's Services Agreement.

Platform readings (keys, SLA, certifications, DPA, subprocessors, deprecations) are the openai-api listing's of 1 November. No account was made and nothing was called. The Agents SDK is the separate openai-agents-sdk listing, and Codex the openai-codex listing | | Sessions | A session holds the agent (model, tools, subagent settings), an environment and the task input. You send input, follow progress by streaming or webhooks, and continue or steer. OpenAI manages orchestration, context compaction and recovery, and keeps session state until you delete it | | Environments | OpenAI-hosted sandboxes in small (1 vCPU, 1 GB), medium (2 vCPU, 4 GB, the default) and large (4 vCPU, 16 GB) sizes, deleted after an hour without activity or keep-alives. Outbound network enabled by default, or disabled, or restricted to 1 to 100 exact host names. Self-hosted sandboxes with workspace and capability directories, and provider guides for AWS Lambda MicroVMs, Blaxel, Cloudflare, Databricks, Daytona, DigitalOcean, E2B, Modal, OCI and Vercel. AWS's Bedrock Managed Agents is built on it | | Tools | MCP servers over HTTP, custom functions, programmatic tool calling, web search, computer use in a hosted browser (since 29 September), plugins, vaults and skills, with automatic review for approvals | | Errors | HTTP codes from 400 (invalid_request_error, invalid_beta and others) to 503 (server_is_overloaded), turn codes such as context_length_exceeded, session_budget_exceeded and rate_limit_exceeded, and session codes such as idle_timeout. Retry guidance says to check the session first, honour Retry-After, back off with a cap, and send only unfinished work after a failed turn | | Data | Session state is retained until deleted, and sessions and published artifacts can be deleted. Not eligible for Zero Data Retention, and residency is United States only. The data-controls guide lists /v1/agents among the endpoints that aren't ZDR-eligible, per the openai-api listing's 1 November reading | | Capabilities | agent.harness | | Tags | official, hosted, beta, usage-priced, llms-txt, status-page, mcp-client, sandbox, subagents, webhooks, soc2, iso27001, bug-bounty | | JSON | https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/openai-agents-api.json | ## Score breakdown (methodology v0.7, October 2026 research run) Assessed 2026-11-06 from public evidence against the published checklist (https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/#checklist). Confidence: medium. Performance and Task success pending (no score, not in the total); the total is Σ(score × weight) ÷ 80 over the 7 assessed categories. "This run" is each category's share of the 100 points. | Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reliability | 16% | 20 | 60 | 12.0 | | Performance | 10% | pending | pending | n/a | | Schema & documentation | 13% | 16.2 | 88 | 14.3 | | Agent ergonomics | 13% | 16.2 | 80 | 13.0 | | Security & auth | 14% | 17.5 | 87 | 15.2 | | Payments & pricing | 10% | 12.5 | 30 | 3.8 | | Task success | 10% | pending | pending | n/a | | Maintenance & community | 7% | 8.8 | 87 | 7.6 | | Transparency & trust (editorial 75, provenance 95) | 7% | 8.8 | 85 | 7.4 | | Negative events | up to −15 | up to −15 | none recorded | 0 | | **Total** | | | | **73.3 → BB** | ### Why each score - Reliability 60 (checked 2026-11-06): Read as a hosted API. status.openai.com has an Agents component under APIs (20). Since release on 10 September (57 days, not 90), the feed names the Agents API in a degraded-performance incident on 14 September, the elevated errors across ChatGPT, Codex and the API on 29 September (the openai-api listing reads that one as a major, 17:52 to 23:14 UTC), computer use issues and degraded workspace agents on 6 and 7 October, degraded performance across the APIs for 22 minutes on 21 October, and overbilling for hosted containers on 19 September. One major, the rest minor (10). Rate limits come from the shared guide, published per tier and model with headers, and the errors page adds a Files API allowance on session creation (15). 429 and 503 guidance with Retry-After, capped backoff and a check-then-retry procedure for turns (15). The Scale Tier SLA in the openai-api listing isn't shown to cover a beta API (0). Public beta behind the agents=v1 header (0). 20 + 10 + 15 + 15 + 0 + 0 = 60. - Performance: Pending. Latency is measured per call by our probes, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until the first probe window closes. - Schema & documentation 88 (checked 2026-11-06): The reference is linked from the overview and the SDKs carry beta.agents types; we didn't confirm /agents/sessions in OpenAI's public OpenAPI file, so 15 of 25. llms.txt with every Agents API page and Markdown twins (10). The overview, architecture page and the agents guide that compares the Agents API, Agents SDK and Responses API say when to use it (20). Typed configuration with enumerated container sizes, network modes and environment types (13 of 15). Examples in six languages and an errors page with codes per HTTP status, turn and session (15). Dated changelog entries and a versioned beta header (15). 15 + 10 + 20 + 13 + 15 + 15 = 88. - Agent ergonomics 80 (checked 2026-11-06): Read as an API an agent drives. Context is compacted automatically, and session budgets and streamed events keep output sized (20 of 25). Sessions can be listed, continued and steered, events streamed or sent by webhook, artifacts fetched (15 of 20). Actionable error codes with recovery steps (20). No idempotency key; a documented check-then-retry procedure (10 of 20). One session call with defaults (medium sandbox, network enabled), SDKs in five languages (15). 20 + 15 + 20 + 10 + 15 = 80. - Security & auth 87 (checked 2026-11-06): Project keys with restricted per-endpoint permissions, service accounts and workload identity, per the openai-api listing; we didn't confirm a key can be limited to /v1/agents (27 of 30). Automatic review for approvals, a sandbox network restricted to a host allowlist, vaults for secrets and a sandbox security guide (17 of 20). The agent reads web pages, MCP results and browser content; the sandbox security guide and approval flow are the mitigations, with no prompt-injection guide of its own found (8 of 15). Tracing, observability and usage per session and admin audit logs (15). SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001 family, Bugcrowd bounty and a disclosure policy, per the openai-api listing (20). Not ZDR-eligible and US residency only, recorded under transparency. 27 + 17 + 8 + 15 + 20 = 87. - Payments & pricing 30 (checked 2026-11-06): No machine payment protocol (0). Model, tool and container prices published without a login, and no fee for the API itself (20). The Free tier reading of the openai-api listing, half (10). Sign-up in a browser (0). 0 + 20 + 10 + 0 = 30. - Task success: Pending. Task success needs the category task suites run through each tool, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until then. A data provider's data-quality score is published on its listing now and becomes half of this category when it's scored. - Maintenance & community 87 (checked 2026-11-06): Closed API. Last dated change 16 October 2026, Ultrafast mode and document skills (30). Four dated changelog entries in the 57 days since release, 10 September, 29 September, 9 October and 16 October (20). Changelog and help centre, as the openai-api listing reads them (12 of 15). Official SDKs carry beta.agents (15). SDK CI, per the openai-api listing (10). 30 + 20 + 12 + 15 + 10 = 87. - Transparency & trust 85 (checked 2026-11-06): Closed service with clear terms, Apache-2.0 SDKs (15). Session state retained until deleted, deletable sessions and artifacts, not ZDR-eligible, US residency only, and the data-controls guide agrees; no retention period for artifacts after a sandbox expires (25 of 30). Dated deprecation notices with minimum periods for GA models; a beta API can change faster (15 of 20). Subprocessors and processing countries listed, per the openai-api listing (20). 15 + 25 + 15 + 20 = 75. Fix list, everything this grade says the listing lacks, the biggest gain first (13 items). What it covers is at https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/openai-agents-api.md (JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/openai-agents-api.json). The whole list for a coding agent comes from `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/fix-list` with `{"listing": "openai-agents-api", "plan": "read"}`, free while the beta runs ### What we couldn't check - Category. Listed under agent-harnesses as a hosted harness behind an API; frameworks would be the alternative - unchecked: whether /v1/agents/sessions is in OpenAI's public OpenAPI file, and whether a restricted key can be limited to it - unchecked: whether the Scale Tier SLA covers a beta API.

Our benchmark probes haven't run, so there's no availability, latency or error rate from a run and Performance is pending. Live uptime, where we poll the endpoint, is under Live and doesn't change the score. ## Strengths - One session call configures the model, tools, MCP servers, subagents and the sandbox, and OpenAI runs and recovers the loop - Sandboxes on OpenAI or self-hosted, with guides for ten providers including E2B, Daytona, Modal, Cloudflare and Vercel - An errors guide with codes per status and turn, Retry-After and a check-before-retry procedure - Webhooks, streamed events, tracing and usage views for each session - SDK examples in Python, JavaScript, Go, Java and Ruby - Status page with its own Agents component ## Weaknesses - Public beta since 10 September 2026 behind the agents=v1 beta header, with no GA date - Not eligible for Zero Data Retention, and data residency is United States only - No idempotency key for session or turn requests; retries depend on checking state first - One API-wide major outage on 29 September included it, plus several smaller incidents since release - No retention period stated for published artifacts after a sandbox expires ## Before you call it (notes for agents) 1. POST https://api.openai.com/v1/agents/sessions with a project key and the header OpenAI-Beta: agents=v1, or use client.beta.agents in the SDKs 2. Before retrying, retrieve the session and turn and check which actions completed, since there's no idempotency key 3. Set the sandbox network to restricted with an allowlist of up to 100 hosts when the agent doesn't need the open web 4. Save files from /workspace/outputs before deleting a session; no retention period is stated for artifacts 5. Don't send data that needs Zero Data Retention or non-US residency; the Agents API supports neither ## Connect First request: ```bash curl https://api.openai.com/v1/agents/sessions \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \ -H "OpenAI-Beta: agents=v1" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d @session.json # model, tools, environment and input, per the quickstart ``` Through letme: https://letme.dev/openai-agents-api. letme answers with the pick and how to call it direct.

The overview says choosing a self-hosted sandbox doesn't make it ZDR-eligible (source: ) - status.openai.com has an Agents component under APIs. Between release and 6 November the feed names it in a degraded-performance incident on 14 September, the API-wide errors of 29 September and smaller incidents on 6, 7 and 21 October, and an overbilling incident for hosted containers on 19 September (source: ) -

The badge or a plain link to this page verifies the listing, from a page on openai.com or one of its subdomains. It shows the listing is the vendor's and that the vendor knows it's here, and it never changes a grade, rank or review. The vendor sends the page's address to `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/verify` as `{"slug": "openai-agents-api", "url": "…"}`, or calls the `verify_listing` tool at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp. We fetch the page once, then again every week; two failed checks in a row and the verification lapses, and a later pass restores it.
