How I learned the OpenAI Agents SDK by breaking down a Stripe workflow from the OpenAI cookbook (part 3)

codepythonloggingapi-requestsfunction-callingopenai-agents-sdk
tl;dr: I set loggers to DEBUG, reran the triage agent workflow, and dug through the raw JSON logs. Seeing each request and response in detail revealed how agents and handoffs really work. Seriously fun!

With the Traces dashboard ↗, we can visualize workflows in a neat interface. It's great for seeing the flow between LLM calls, function calls, and handoffs, and for inspecting their inputs and outputs.

Visualization of AI agents, API responses, and function tool handoffs in OpenAI Traces UI

But to really understand what happens when we run 

await Runner.run(triage_agent, input=...)

I prefer to look directly at the JSON data of the requests and responses that the OpenAI Agents SDK sends to the Responses API.

This way, I can mentally map the code written (agents, function tools, handoffs) to the JSON payload of the requests sent to the Responses API. The benefit? I don't have to dig into the specifics of Python classes and decorators like FunctionTool, @function_tool, Agent, Handoff, or the logic inside the Runner.run loop.

To do this, I set the logging level of the loggers openai.agents and openai._base_client to DEBUG: 

import logging

logging.basicConfig()
logging.getLogger("openai.agents").setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logging.getLogger("openai._base_client").setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

Then I ran the worklow again:

import asyncio

triage_agent = Agent(
    name="Triage Agent Log level DEBUG",
    instructions=(
        "Please do the following:\n"
        "1. Find the order ID from the payment intent's metadata.\n"
        "2. Retrieve detailed information about the order (e.g., shipping status).\n"
        "3. If the order has shipped, escalate this dispute to the investigator agent.\n"
        "4. If the order has not shipped, accept the dispute.\n"
    ),
    model="gpt-4o",
    tools=[retrieve_payment_intent, get_order],
    handoffs=[accept_dispute_agent, investigator_agent]
)

payment = stripe.PaymentIntent.create(
  amount=2000,
  currency="usd",
  payment_method = "pm_card_createDisputeProductNotReceived",
  confirm=True,
  metadata={"order_id": "1234"},
  off_session=True,
  automatic_payment_methods={"enabled": True},
)

asyncio.run(process_dispute(payment.id, triage_agent))

Here are some of the logs. I kept the POST requests to the Responses API, the function call outputs, and pretty-printed the JSON objects for readability:

And here is the final report:

Dispute Details:
- Dispute ID: dp_1RngVxQuMzbiv2kflcD3SYfK
- Amount: $2000
- Reason for Dispute: Product not received

Order Details:
- Fulfillment status of the order: Not shipped

Reasoning for closing the dispute:
The dispute was accepted and closed in favor of the customer because
the order was not shipped, validating the claim of the product not
being received.

(Probably, the amount should be $20.)
