LangWatch integrates with OpenAI Agents through OpenInference instrumentation to monitor agent execution, LLM calls, and tool usage.

​
Installation

pip install langwatch openai-agents openinference-instrumentation-openai-agents

​
Usage

The LangWatch API key is configured by default via the LANGWATCH_API_KEY environment variable.
Use the OpenInference instrumentation for OpenAI Agents by passing OpenAIAgentsInstrumentor to langwatch.setup(). 
import langwatch
from agents import Agent, Runner
from openinference.instrumentation.openai_agents import OpenAIAgentsInstrumentor
import os
import asyncio

langwatch.setup(instrumentors=[OpenAIAgentsInstrumentor()])

agent = Agent(name="ExampleAgent", instructions="You are a helpful assistant.")


@langwatch.trace(name="OpenAI Agent Run with OpenInference")
async def run_agent_with_openinference(prompt: str):
    result = await Runner.run(agent, prompt)
    return result.final_output


async def main():
    user_query = "Tell me a joke"
    response = await run_agent_with_openinference(user_query)
    print(f"User: {user_query}")
    print(f"AI: {response}")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
The OpenAIAgentsInstrumentor automatically captures agent activities, LLM calls, and tool usage. Use @langwatch.trace() to create a parent trace under which agent operations will be nested.
