@tejas-dharani ,
Changes should be scoped to the PR title/focus
This file is unrelated to the OpenAI agent

Hi @victordibia,
You're absolutely right - my apologies for the confusion.
My mistake was that after forking the repo, I raised my first PR (the .NET correction) directly from the main branch instead of creating a separate branch. After that, I created separate branches for all other issues, but now this .NET change is affecting every subsequent PR since they're all based off my modified main branch.
I understand this file is unrelated to the OpenAI agent work. I'll close the .NET PR to keep it separate from the OpenAI agent changes.
Thanks for catching this - lesson learned about proper Git workflow!

Hi @tejas-dharani .
According to the official doc, the Responses API supports 7 built-in tools as well as function calls. However, I found your PR omitted one built-in tool (local_shell) and lots of "required" parameters to execute built-in tools. Could you please check the official doc in detail once more?

file_search

vector_store_ids (required)

filters

max_num_results

ranking_options

web_search_preview

search_context_size

user_location

computer_use_preview

display_height (required)

server_label (required)

server_url (required)

allowed_tools

require_approval

code_interpreter

container (required)

image_generation

background

input_image_mask

....

local_shell

Hi @withsmilo,
Thank you for the detailed feedback! I missed required parameters for each tool type.

I'll address:
Implement all required parameters (vector_store_ids, display dimensions, container, server configs, etc.)
Add proper parameter validation and type hints
Fix the failing mypy/pyright checks

Will research the official docs more thoroughly for the complete specifications.
Thanks for the thorough review!

@withsmilo
I don't find the local_shell , are you refering to function calling ? Function calling is already there.
https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/tools?api-mode=responses

Hi @tejas-dharani , I compared the available tools present in the openai docs with the ones added in the PR. What I think @withsmilo is mentioning is that the local shell tool has not been implemented.

I see now, local shell tool is missing in Available tools openai docs.

Also Local shell is available through the Responses API for use with codex-mini-latest. It is not available on other models.

Hello @withsmilo Sir,

Can you please review the changes again ? I have made necessory changes.

Hi, @tejas-dharani .
Why did you update this file? it seems this change is not related with your PR.

Hi, @withsmilo ,

It was changes because it shows poe error, but i have reverted it because it is not related to this PR.

This is unnecessary because autogen-core package already has a "typing-extensions>=4.0.0" dependency (link) and autogen-ext is using autogen-core now (link).

Ok, I will remove it. Thanks for guiding me.

Thanks for the PR:

Can you add support for built in tools for the JSON config (ie _to_config and _from_config).
Can you add integration tests that hits the actual model api, trigger only when open ai key is in the environment.

Hello Sir,

I have implemented the recommended changes:

Added support for built-in tools in the JSON config (_to_config and _from_config).
Added integration tests that call the actual model API, which are triggered only when an OpenAI key is present in the environment.

Please let me know if anything else is needed.
