Connecting to Openai

Create an auth config

Use the dashboard to create an auth config for the Openai toolkit. This allows you to connect multiple Openai accounts to Composio for agents to use.

1

Select App

Navigate to Openai.

2

Configure Auth Config Settings

Select among the supported auth schemes of and configure them here.

3

Create and Get auth config ID

Click “Create Openai Auth Config”. After creation, copy the displayed ID starting with ac_. This is your auth config ID. This is not a sensitive ID — you can save it in environment variables or a database. This ID will be used to create connections to the toolkit for a given user.

Connect Your Account

Tools

Executing tools

To prototype you can execute some tools to see the responses and working on the Openai toolkit’s playground

For code examples, see the Tool calling guide and Provider examples.

Tool List

Tool Name: Create Assistant

Description

Tool to create or modify an assistant. - To CREATE a new assistant: Provide 'model' (required) and other optional parameters. - To MODIFY an existing assistant: Provide 'assistant_id' and any parameters to update. When modifying, 'model' is optional.

Tool Name: Create Run

Description

Tool to create a run on a thread with an assistant. Use when you need to execute an assistant to generate responses. Creating a message alone does not cause the assistant to respond; a run is the execution primitive. After creating the run, typically poll the run status until it reaches a terminal state (completed, failed, cancelled, expired), then read the assistant's messages from the thread.
