Using Agents as Tools
The agent-as-a-tool pattern lets a manager agent delegate open-ended subtasks to specialist agents, which are exposed as callable tools. Using the OpenAI Agents SDK, the post walks through building a layover travel planner where three specialist agents (logistics, local experience, and risk) are each converted into tools via .as_tool(). The manager agent calls them and synthesizes results into a structured itinerary. The pattern is recommended when subtasks are open-ended, clearly bounded, and the manager should retain overall responsibility.
