Agent visualization

As we have seen in previous chapters, agents can involve multiple complex components, especially in a multi-agent system. This can get overwhelming with the mix of agents, tools, handoffs, and MCP servers. Thankfully, OpenAI Agents SDK provides a visualization utility that can generate a graphical representation of your agent system, which depicts agents, tools, and their relationships.

Let’s jump right in and create some visualization graphs of agent systems. To create the visualization graphs, we must first install the required dependencies. In your terminal, activate your environment, and then run the following command, which installs the dependency:

$ pip install "openai-agents[viz]"

After that, let’s bring back a hierarchical agentic system that we had created in a previous chapter. We will also add a few tools to the agentic system to see how they are visualized in the graph. Create a new Python file called visualization...
