Open AI has added native responses api with tool calling and websearch

Relevant context (optional)

changelog : https://platform.openai.com/docs/changelog
tools , connectors and mcp : https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/tools-connectors-mcp

Would you like to help drive or implement this?

Yes, I'd like to contribute

Please add more description, examples of desired use, reason why we should implement this. Adding tools just for adding tools is not a valid reason.

Regarding websearch, we already have perplexity implemented.

[Josephrp]

well, in this case you'll get websearch without an additional service and in the case of responses api the ability to use existing tools and mcps without the need to add an additional line of code in the agent deployment

[Josephrp]

open ai confirms that context is better retained and managed by the responses api

Hi @Josephrp, really interesting point!

The Responses API could be a better fit. The wrinkle is that several providers using the OpenAI SDK haven’t implemented Responses yet and only support Chat Completions. However, if this can enable us to have a quick MCP client, that would be indeed interesting to consider.

Our public roadmap is coming soon. This falls under our optimization track, and MCP client support is planned a little later.

What do you think? Happy to continue over a quick voice chat on Discord if that works for you!
