+ # OpenAI Agents adapter verification
2
+
3
+ The adapter uses the lifecycle contract below. Signatures include `self` and a
4
+ trailing `**kwargs` in the Watchdog implementation for forward-compatible keyword
5
+ extensions. Inputs are accepted only to match the framework contract and are not
6
+ serialized.
7
+
8
+ ```python
9
+ async def on_agent_start(self, context, agent): ...
10
+ async def on_agent_end(self, context, agent, output): ...
11
+ async def on_handoff(self, context, from_agent, to_agent): ...
12
+ async def on_llm_start(self, context, agent, system_prompt, input_items): ...
13
+ async def on_llm_end(self, context, agent, response): ...
14
+ async def on_tool_start(self, context, agent, tool): ...
15
+ async def on_tool_end(self, context, agent, tool, result): ...
16
+ ```
17
+
18
+ The adapter reads `response.usage.input_tokens` and
19
+ `response.usage.output_tokens`. It does not read response output or cumulative
20
+ run-context usage. For function calls it reads tool names, local argument
21
+ fingerprints, and elapsed monotonic time. If exposed by the framework,
22
+ `context.tool_call_id` is used only for local timing correlation and
23
+ `context.tool_arguments` is HMACed locally.
24
+
25
+ Sources inspected on September 5, 2026:
26
+
27
+ - [Official Agents SDK overview](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/agents)
28
+ - [Official running agents guide](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/agents/running-agents)
29
+ - [Official integrations and observability guide](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/agents/integrations-observability)
30
+
31
+ The official `openai-agents` 0.8.4 distribution was downloaded and its source
32
+ inspected. Wheel SHA-256:
33
+ `2383c6e8e59ed4146b89d1b6f53e34e55caf94bc14ae3fd704e7aad5021f4ff1`.
34
+
35
+ The optional dependency pins `openai-agents==0.8.4` and `openai==2.19.0` as a
36
+ compatible baseline. Resolving the upstream Agents dependency without this pin
37
+ installed `openai==2.54.0`, whose required `cache_write_tokens` usage field breaks
38
+ the Agents 0.8.4 default `Usage()` constructor before lifecycle hooks run. The
39
+ adapter does not monkeypatch upstream models or hide this compatibility failure.
40
+
41
+ Verified directly in the distribution:
42
+
43
+ - `agents/lifecycle.py`: all seven signatures above match. `RunHooks` is an alias
44
+ for `RunHooksBase[TContext, Agent]`.
45
+ - `agents/run_internal/tool_execution.py`: function-tool hooks receive the
46
+ `ToolContext`, including the call ID and arguments used by this adapter.
47
+ - `agents/tool_context.py`: `tool_call_id` and `tool_arguments` are required
48
+ context fields. The adapter only hashes arguments locally.
49
+ - `agents/run_internal/run_loop.py`: per-response usage is added to the cumulative
50
+ context before the end hook. Reading `response.usage` avoids double counting.
51
+ - `agents/run_internal/tool_actions.py`: some local action tools receive a plain
52
+ run context, so per-call ID/argument fidelity is not universally available.
53
+
54
+ Four tests in `tests/test_real_openai.py` passed against the actual installed
55
+ Runner using a deterministic local Model. They verify exact installed signatures,
56
+ parallel tool calls with distinct private fingerprints, correct per-response token
57
+ counts, preserved Runner exceptions, and cooperative cancellation. The tested
58
+ environment used Python 3.12, `openai-agents==0.8.4`, `openai==2.19.0`, and
59
+ `pydantic==2.13.5`. No live model request was made.
60
+
61
+ Run the complete SDK and control-adapter suite after installing the optional
62
+ extra: `python -m unittest discover -s tests -v`. Without the optional dependency,
63
+ the four real Runner tests are explicitly skipped. The rest of the suite covers
64
+ fail-open delivery, privacy, idempotency, and signed control dispatch.
65
+
66
+ Final integration validation: all 39 tests passed, including the real loopback signed HTTP server test and four real OpenAI Runner tests.

22
+ # Watchdog Python SDK
23
+
24
+ Track the completion, progress, cost, tool activity, and expected outcomes of an
25
+ unattended job. The SDK sends metadata to the Watchdog API from a bounded background
26
+ queue. Monitoring outages do not raise exceptions into application code.
27
+
28
+ ## Install and configure
29
+
30
+ ```bash
31
+ python -m pip install watchdog-agent-sdk
32
+ export WATCHDOG_URL="https://withwatchdog.com"
33
+ export WATCHDOG_API_KEY="your-ingest-key"
34
+ ```
35
+
36
+ The distribution is `watchdog-agent-sdk`; its import is `watchdog_agent`. This
37
+ avoids colliding with the unrelated Python filesystem package named `watchdog`.
38
+ The base SDK has no runtime dependencies and supports Python 3.10 or newer.
39
+
40
+ For local development, clone this repository and run `python -m pip install .`
41
+ from its root. Self-hosted installations can set `WATCHDOG_URL` to their API origin.
42
+
43
+ Register an agent and a job in the dashboard, then use the job ID or slug:
44
+
45
+ ```python
46
+ from watchdog_agent import Watchdog
47
+
48
+ with Watchdog() as watchdog:
49
+ with watchdog.run("daily-report", cancellable=True) as run:
50
+ with run.tool_call("competitors.search", arguments={"sector": "software"}):
51
+ results = search_competitors()
52
+ run.progress("Research complete", completed=len(results))
53
+
54
+ report = create_report(results)
55
+ run.outcome("report_created", metadata={"record_id": report.id})
56
+
57
+ run.check_cancelled()
58
+ post_report(report)
59
+ run.outcome("report_posted")
60
+ ```
61
+
62
+ `run.started` is emitted on entry. Normal exit emits `run.completed`; an exception
63
+ emits `run.failed` and preserves the original exception. Cancellation emits
64
+ `run.cancelled`. Exceptions' type names are collected; their messages, stack
65
+ traces, and local variables are not collected. Completion means the agent exited;
66
+ the server evaluates whether the required business outcomes were satisfied.
67
+
68
+ Only explicit `run.progress()` calls indicate meaningful progress. Tool calls,
69
+ model calls, handoffs, and repeated activity do not reset the progress timer.
70
+
71
+ ## Usage, costs, and outcomes
72
+
73
+ ```python
74
+ run.usage(
75
+ model="your-model-name",
76
+ input_tokens=2100,
77
+ output_tokens=300,
78
+ cost_usd=0.017,
79
+ )
80
+ run.tool("crm.update", duration_ms=180, status="success", arguments={"id": record_id})
81
+ run.outcome("crm_updated", success=True, metadata={"record_id": record_id})
82
+ ```
83
+
84
+ Each usage event is a **delta for one model request**, not the cumulative run
85
+ usage. Omit `cost_usd` when it is unknown. The SDK does not embed a stale model
86
+ price table. This version only sums explicitly reported costs; token counts alone do not calculate spending.
87
+ Report an outcome only after the corresponding application operation succeeds.
88
+ An emitted outcome is an application attestation, not independent verification.
89
+
90
+ Tool fingerprints use a per-run random HMAC key over canonical tool name,
91
+ arguments, and status. Raw arguments stay in the customer process. Reordered
92
+ JSON keys and insignificant JSON whitespace produce the same fingerprint;
93
+ different arguments normally produce different fingerprints. Without arguments,
94
+ only tool names/status distinguish calls. Emit explicit progress within legitimate
95
+ bulk-processing loops to avoid treating repeated work as a lack of progress.
96
+
97
+ ## Async jobs and cancellation
98
+
99
+ ```python
100
+ async with Watchdog() as watchdog:
101
+ async with watchdog.run("daily-report", cancellable=True) as run:
102
+ await execute_agent()
103
+ run.outcome("report_created")
104
+ ```
105
+
106
+ For a cancellable async context, an authenticated cancel command schedules
107
+ `Task.cancel()` on the task owning that context. It takes effect at an await
108
+ boundary. Application code must allow `asyncio.CancelledError` to propagate.
109
+ For synchronous code, call `run.check_cancelled()` between work units.
110
+ `run.tool_call()` checks automatically before entering a tool. Blocking external
111
+ operations cannot be forcefully stopped by this SDK.
112
+
113
+ The SDK acknowledges a cancel action only after the run exits cancelled. A
114
+ received command is not proof that execution has stopped. If the application
115
+ completes without observing cancellation, the action is acknowledged as failed.
116
+ Retry commands require a customer runtime webhook/controller; this client does
117
+ not retain business input or execute customer code again.
118
+
119
+ The included [signed control adapter](https://github.com/withwatchdog/watchdog-sdk/blob/main/examples/CONTROL_ADAPTER.md) implements a
120
+ customer-owned callback endpoint with cancellation, retry, fallback allowlisting,
121
+ missed-slot correlation, HMAC verification, and a durable action ledger. Its local
122
+ demo executes a supplied application function and writes report files.
123
+
124
+ Cancellation is out of band. Polling, network latency, in-flight tool requests,
125
+ and model requests can cause delay or budget overshoot. This is not a hard
126
+ real-time spend ceiling.
127
+
128
+ ## OpenAI Agents adapter
129
+
130
+ ```bash
131
+ python -m pip install 'watchdog-agent-sdk[openai]'
132
+ ```
133
+
134
+ The optional extra pins the verified combination `openai-agents==0.8.4` and
135
+ `openai==2.19.0`. Run the integration suite when upgrading either dependency;
136
+ the upstream Agents version's broad dependency range also permits a newer,
137
+ incompatible usage schema. Details are in
138
+ [ADAPTER_VERIFICATION.md](https://github.com/withwatchdog/watchdog-sdk/blob/main/ADAPTER_VERIFICATION.md).
139
+
140
+ ```python
141
+ from agents import Runner, RunConfig
142
+ from watchdog_agent.openai_agents import WatchdogHooks
143
+
144
+ async with watchdog.run("daily-report", cancellable=True) as run:
145
+ result = await Runner.run(
146
+ agent,
147
+ business_input,
148
+ hooks=WatchdogHooks(run),
149
+ run_config=RunConfig(trace_include_sensitive_data=False),
150
+ )
151
+ # Save the result in your application before recording the outcome.
152
+ saved = await save_report(result.final_output)
153
+ run.outcome("report_created", metadata={"record_id": saved.id})
154
+ ```
155
+
156
+ Use one hook instance per Watchdog run. The outer context owns job completion,
157
+ so handoffs and nested-agent completion cannot finish it prematurely. Per-response
158
+ token usage is used; cumulative `context.usage` would double-count earlier calls.
159
+ OpenAI's own tracing is separate from Watchdog telemetry: disabling sensitive
160
+ data there does not change application-provided Watchdog messages or metadata.
161
+
162
+ Adapter coverage and limitations:
163
+
164
+ - Lifecycle hooks capture function-tool completions and per-model response usage.
165
+ - Hosted provider tools may not pass through function-tool hooks; supply explicit
166
+ instrumentation when that activity needs to count toward a tool-call policy.
167
+ - Tool exceptions converted by a framework into result strings cannot be
168
+ classified safely without examining sensitive output. Use `run.tool_call()`
169
+ inside a custom tool, or emit explicit error status for accurate error storms.
170
+ Avoid also counting the same completed tool through the adapter.
171
+ - Call IDs distinguish concurrent tool calls where the framework exposes them.
172
+ Older contexts without call IDs use a FIFO fallback; durations may be
173
+ approximate for parallel calls of the same tool.
174
+ - Hook-generated events do not imply business outcomes or semantic progress.
175
+
176
+ The official [Agents SDK guide](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/agents)
177
+ and [running agents guide](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/agents/running-agents)
178
+ describe the SDK execution model. See `ADAPTER_VERIFICATION.md` for the exact
179
+ compatibility evidence and remaining limitations.

+
181
+ ## Delivery and privacy behavior
182
+
183
+ - The default queue holds 1,024 requests; enqueue never waits for network I/O.
184
+ Full queues drop new telemetry and increment `watchdog.stats["dropped"]`.
185
+ - Events have unique IDs and per-run monotonic sequences. Retries preserve the
186
+ original serialized event, timestamp, sequence, and ID for server deduplication.
187
+ - Transient failures receive two retries by default. HTTP 4xx other than 408/429
188
+ are not retried. No prompts, outputs, payloads, or bearer keys are logged.
189
+ - Use the client as a context manager or call `watchdog.close(timeout=2)` before
190
+ a short-lived process exits. `flush()` and `close()` return `False` if their
191
+ bounded wait expires. Daemon threads cannot guarantee delivery after a crash
192
+ or process kill. There is no durable disk spool in this version.
193
+ - Missing `WATCHDOG_API_KEY` disables delivery. Inspect `.enabled` and `.stats`
194
+ during installation checks. Configuration errors, such as insecure remote URLs,
195
+ raise immediately; network failures do not interrupt an otherwise valid job.
196
+ - Metadata accepts bounded JSON values and removes common secret-bearing keys.
197
+ Application-provided messages, names, and metadata values are intentionally
198
+ transmitted: do not place secrets in them. Secret-key filtering is defense in
199
+ depth, not a content classifier.
200
+ - HTTPS is required except for loopback development. Redirects are rejected so
201
+ bearer credentials are not forwarded to another host.
202
+ - Customer-supplied `headers={...}` can support additional deployment access
203
+ layers. Authentication and request-framing headers cannot be overridden.
204
+
205
+ Create the client **after forking** a worker process. A client owns live threads
206
+ and is not process-safe. Reuse one client across jobs within each process.
207
+
208
+ ## Wire protocol
209
+
210
+ `POST /api/v1/events` accepts a single JSON event with bearer authentication:
211
+
212
+ ```json
213
+ {
214
+ "event_id": "evt_a_unique_id",
215
+ "run_id": "run_a_unique_id",
216
+ "job_id": "daily-report",
217
+ "type": "tool.completed",
218
+ "sequence": 3,
219
+ "timestamp": "2026-09-05T12:00:00.000Z",
220
+ "data": {
221
+ "name": "crm.update",
222
+ "fingerprint": "a-per-run-hmac",
223
+ "duration_ms": 180,
224
+ "status": "success",
225
+ "metadata": {}
226
+ }
227
+ }
228
+ ```
229
+
230
+ Types: `run.started`, `progress`, `tool.completed`, `llm.completed`, `outcome`,
231
+ `run.completed`, `run.failed`, `run.cancelled`.
232
+
233
+ `GET /api/v1/runs/{run_id}/commands` returns
234
+ `{"commands":[{"id":"action-id","type":"cancel"}]}`.
235
+ The SDK sends `POST /api/v1/actions/{action_id}/ack` with
236
+ `{"status":"acknowledged","message":"Runtime stopped cooperatively"}`
237
+ after cancellation takes effect, or `status: "failed"` when it cannot be applied.
238
+
239
+ ## Tests
240
+
241
+ ```bash
242
+ python -m pip install '.[openai]'
243
+ python -m unittest discover -s tests -v
244
+ ```
245
+
246
+ Run these commands from the cloned repository root. Tests cover outages,
247
+ queue saturation, bounded shutdown, retry idempotency,
248
+ privacy, concurrent event sequences, sync/async cancellation acknowledgments,
249
+ tool failures, outcomes, and hook mapping without requiring a model API key.
250
+
251
+ ## Start with lifecycle-only monitoring
252
+
253
+ New Watchdog jobs leave progress monitoring disabled (`progress_timeout: 0`) and have no expected schedule unless you add one. Set a realistic maximum runtime, for example 1,200 seconds for a legitimate 15-minute job. The run context reports start, completion and failure; it cannot report a process kill. A missing completion is detected when the runtime deadline expires.
254
+
255
+ Add `run.progress()` after meaningful completed work, then explicitly enable a milestone timeout in the job's Additional checks. The timer starts at run start. Tool calls do not reset it, and emitting progress does not turn the timeout on. Progress can still reset the tool-loop window while milestone timeout monitoring is off. Existing jobs retain their saved policies; edits apply to future runs.
256
+
257
+ Install without repository access:
258
+
259
+ ```sh
260
+ python -m pip install watchdog-agent-sdk==0.1.0
261
+ ```
262
+
263
+ Use `watchdog-agent-sdk`, not the unrelated `watchdog` filesystem package.
