Describe the feature

(Move from openai/openai-python#2247)

There are good 3rd tools, e.g. firecrawl, that I hope to integrate to AgentSDK. Although I could use @tool to integrate in my repository, but I found it repetitive if I need to use the tool in multiple repositories.

I see in crewai, they have a separate python dependency: "tool" aside from the main crewai. The "tool" contains much more 3rd party tools, which comes handy.

If official integration with 3rd party is not supported, could you provide documentation about best practice integrating with 3rd party tools? (Not just basic functional integration, I also want to understand how to properly utilize guardrail, tracing...)

Are you hoping for a tool repository? Or for examples of turning the 3p tools into Agent SDK tools?

I'm not sure if AgentSDK is open to 3rd/open source community contribution. If OpenAI have to manage the "official" integration, the model is not scalable.

I feel a separate tool repository is a cleaner implementation and would be easier to fork and add tools. I'm open to suggestions.

Yeah agreed a separate repo makes sense. An alternative is to use MCP - there are tons of repos of MCP tools, and the integration should be trivial now after the MCP integration (https://openai.github.io/openai-agents-python/mcp/)
