The OpenAI Agents SDK scaffolds how your agents communicate and act. Faultmap maps where those agents will break before the first instruction is written.
Side by side

When it runs
Before the build, in the design phase
At the build — you configure agents, wire up tools, and run the workflow once the SDK is set up
What it needs
Your goal, personas, data, and tools
An OpenAI API key, agent instructions, tool definitions, and a working application to integrate into
What it produces
A map of where it breaks, plus the first test suite
A running multi-agent application with structured outputs, tracing, and session history
The question it answers
Where will this agent break, before I build it?
How do I build and orchestrate multi-step agents with OpenAI models?
We do not replace OpenAI Agents SDK. Faultmap runs one step earlier. Keep using OpenAI Agents SDK after the build.
What OpenAI Agents SDK is
OpenAI Agents SDK in one sentence. Where Faultmap fits with it.
An OpenAI Python and TypeScript framework for building multi-agent workflows. Agents are LLMs configured with instructions, tools, guardrails, and handoffs. The SDK adds sandboxed execution, session management, tracing, and human-in-the-loop hooks.
Agent builder frameworkWhere Faultmap fits before it
- Run Faultmap in design to catch the breaks before you build.
- Build the agent against the test suite Faultmap hands you.
- Use OpenAI Agents SDK after launch for agent builder framework.
Map the breaks before OpenAI Agents SDK sees them.
