+# OpenAI Agents SDK travel agent
+
+A small travel agent built with the [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://openai.github.io/openai-agents-python/) and
+instrumented with Splunk AO. The agent has two mock tools (flight search and activity search), so each run
+produces a tool-calling turn followed by a final answer.
+
+The example shows two ways to send the same agent's telemetry to Splunk AO:
+
+| `INSTRUMENTATION` | How it works |
+|---|---|
+| `sdk` (default) | `SplunkAOTracingProcessor`, registered with the Agents SDK's `set_trace_processors()` hook. |
+| `otel` | The community OpenTelemetry instrumentation for the Agents SDK, with Splunk AO attached to a tracer provider through `add_splunk_ao_span_processor()`. |
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.11 or later
+- A Splunk AO project and agent stream, plus a token that can send telemetry
+- An OpenAI API key, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (set `OPENAI_BASE_URL`, for example to a LiteLLM proxy)
+
+## Setup
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+cp .env.example .env     # then fill in your own values; .env is git-ignored
+```
+
+For `INSTRUMENTATION=otel`, also install the extra package listed at the bottom of `requirements.txt`:
+
+```bash
+pip install opentelemetry-instrumentation-genai-openai-agents
+```
+
+Configure Splunk AO with **either** the Splunk Observability Cloud variables (`SPLUNK_AO_REALM` and
+`SPLUNK_AO_O11Y_TOKEN`) **or** the standalone variables (`SPLUNK_AO_API_KEY` and `SPLUNK_AO_CONSOLE_URL`), not both.
+
+## Run
+
+```bash
+INSTRUMENTATION=sdk  python main.py
+INSTRUMENTATION=otel python main.py
+```
+
+Each run picks a random route, asks the agent to plan a trip, and logs the final answer. Open the
+agent stream you configured in Splunk AO to inspect the session: the agent, its turns, the LLM calls, and
+the two tool calls.
+
+## Notes
+
+- The tools return deterministic mock data and call no external services.
+- By default the Agents SDK also exports traces to OpenAI's tracing backend. `sdk` mode replaces that exporter, and
+  `otel` mode turns it off, so telemetry from this example goes only to Splunk AO.
+- Environment variables you export in your shell take precedence over values in `.env`.

+Travel agent demo using the OpenAI Agents SDK with Splunk AO instrumentation.
+
+Two instrumentation modes, selected with the INSTRUMENTATION environment variable:
+
+  sdk  (default)  SplunkAOTracingProcessor, registered through the Agents SDK's
+                  set_trace_processors() hook.
+  otel            The community OpenTelemetry instrumentation for the Agents SDK,
+                  with Splunk AO attached to a tracer provider through
+                  add_splunk_ao_span_processor(). Needs the extra package listed
+                  in requirements.txt.
+
+The agent is a single TravelAgent with two mock tools (flight search and activity
+search), so every run makes at least one tool-calling turn followed by a final answer.
+
+Run:
