CAPABILITY PROFILE
What the OpenAI integration exposes
The OpenAI Agent App exposes 15 provider-backed actions for ai and developer tools work. Its current contract lets an authorized agent fetch one openai batch job by its identifier, transcribe one uploaded audio file with the openai audio transcription api, and cancel one in-progress openai batch job by its identifier. These operations are called through Working Machines as typed capabilities rather than through browser navigation or copied UI steps.
A connection uses API key. Before execution, the agent can inspect the selected action, its required fields, declared scopes, and expected output contract. Provider credentials remain inside the Working Machines runtime; the calling agent receives the capability and its structured result, not the underlying secret.
For reliable operation, start with the narrowest action that satisfies the task, resolve stable provider identifiers before changing state, and validate the returned object or status after execution. Availability still depends on the connected OpenAI account, granted provider permissions, workspace policy, region, plan, and upstream API behavior.

PROVIDER-SPECIFIC WORKFLOWS
Jobs this Agent App can support
Inspect Get Batch
Fetch one OpenAI batch job by its identifier. Use this as a bounded discovery step, retain the returned identifier, and avoid expanding the read beyond the task's stated scope.
get_batchControl Create Audio Transcription
Transcribe one uploaded audio file with the OpenAI audio transcription API. Resolve the target first, present material changes for confirmation, and make retries idempotent where the provider supports it.
create_audio_transcriptionVerify with Create Audio Transcription
Transcribe one uploaded audio file with the OpenAI audio transcription API. Compare the returned provider state with the intended outcome and preserve stable IDs or canonical links in the run record.
create_audio_transcriptionSAFETY BOUNDARY
Operate OpenAI with explicit limits
- Authorize OpenAI with API key and grant only the provider access required by the selected actions.
- 9 actions are change-capable by name. Confirm the target identity and material parameters before allowing a write.
- Treat `cancel_batch` as high-impact operations and require an explicit approval boundary.
- No provider scope string is declared on the sampled actions. Verify the connected account's actual permissions in OpenAI rather than assuming unrestricted access.
- After a call, inspect the structured result and execution record before reporting that the OpenAI task completed successfully.
CONNECTION MODEL
API key
OpenAI API key used with the Authorization Bearer header. Create or manage it on the API Keys page: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys.
Working Machines stores provider credentials behind the execution boundary. An agent can use an authorized connection identity, but catalog discovery alone does not reveal OAuth tokens, API keys, or provider secrets.
