This example demonstrates multi-agent orchestration using the OpenAI Agents SDK with SourceryKit verification. Three specialist agents each query a different customer support table, with centralized evaluation by the orchestrator.
User: "Customer CUST-001 is asking about order ORD-123..."
→ Orchestrator Agent
→ analyzes query, routes to relevant specialists
→ calls run_order_status_check()
→ fetches order data, builds HandoffPayload, stores in global dict
→ calls run_return_policy_check()
→ fetches policy data, builds HandoffPayload, stores in global dict
→ calls run_account_balance_check()
→ fetches balance data, builds HandoffPayload, stores in global dict
→ calls verify_claims(specialist='order_status')
→ calls verify_claims(specialist='return_policy')
→ calls verify_claims(specialist='account_balance')
→ reports combined verdictasync_intercept_context(agent_id=..., action_name=...), logging the request/response to the database separately per agent and per table.HandoffPayload per specialist and stores it in a global _payloads dict. This is the producer side — agents create verifiable artifacts.verify_claims(specialist='<name>') to evaluate each payload via evaluate_handoff. This is the verifier side — the orchestrator decides WHEN to verify but doesn't pass JSON.| Specialist | Table | Action Name | Agent ID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Order Status | orders | get_order_status | order_status |
| Return Policy | policies | get_return_policy | return_policy |
| Account Balance | accounts | get_account_balance | account_balance |
Before running the system, run the interactive setup wizard to configure your SourceryKit project variables automatically:
sourcerykit initIMPORTANT
The wizard only configures SOURCERYKIT_* variables. It does not configure your LLM provider infrastructure keys (like MODEL_URL or MODEL_API_KEY). Those must still be set up separately in your environment.
| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
MODEL_URL | yes | Base URL for the LLM provider (e.g., https://openrouter.ai/api/v1). |
MODEL_API_KEY | yes | API authentication token for the LLM provider. |
MODEL_NAME | yes | Model name (e.g., openai/gpt-4o-mini). |
pip install sourcerykit openai-agents python-dotenv httpx pydantic.env file:
export MODEL_URL="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1"
export MODEL_API_KEY="sk-or-..."
export MODEL_NAME="openai/gpt-4o-mini"# Standard Validation

Runnable demo: OpenAI Agents SDK multi-agent + SourceryKit — customer support specialists.
Three specialist agents each query a different mock support table:
- Order Status Specialist: queries the orders table
- Return Policy Specialist: queries the policies table
- Account Balance Specialist: queries the accounts table
Each specialist agent is converted to an Orchestrator tool via `agent.as_tool()` with a
`custom_output_extractor` to automatically generate `HandoffPayloads` upon execution.
Run:
python agent_run.py
python agent_run.py --tamper # Order status value tampered → CAUGHT
