Summary

Adds an OpenAI Agents SDK governance adapter to uipath-openai-agents. It lets UiPath governance evaluate what an OpenAI Agent does at the model and tool level, and block disallowed actions, without the agent author writing governance code. This package contains only the OpenAI-Agents-specific bridge.

What it does

  • Detects an OpenAI agents.Agent (can_handle claims only real Agent instances) and installs governance on each agent in the tree by setting its native hooks attribute (an agents.AgentHooks), chaining any pre-existing hooks.

  • Maps each hook on the agent lifecycle to a governance check:

    OpenAI Agents hook Governance hook
    on_llm_start BEFORE_MODEL
    on_llm_end AFTER_MODEL
    on_tool_start TOOL_CALL
    on_tool_end AFTER_TOOL
  • Enforces by letting a GovernanceBlockException (raised on a DENY decision) propagate, stopping the model call or tool. Any other error inside a governance hook is logged and swallowed, so a governance failure cannot break an otherwise-healthy agent run.

  • Discovered through the uipath.governance.adapters entry point, so no explicit import is needed to register it.

What it does not do

  • Does not fire agent-level boundaries (BEFORE_AGENT / AFTER_AGENT); those are owned by the governance host.
  • Does not depend on platform, auth, transport, or runtime internals — only on the shared governance contracts in uipath-core.

Installs governance on each agent's AgentHooks (on_llm_start/end -> BEFORE/AFTER_MODEL, on_tool_start/end -> TOOL_CALL/AFTER_TOOL), chaining any existing hooks and walking the handoffs graph.

Self-registers via the uipath.governance.adapters entry point; unit-tested and verified firing through the framework's real execution path. BEFORE/AFTER_AGENT remain owned by the uipath-runtime wrapper.

…, framework-only can_handle)

Mirror radu's LangChain-adapter review across the OpenAI Agents adapter:
- __init__: drop the import-time register_governance_adapter() side-effect; registration happens only via the uipath.governance.adapters entry-point discovery path.
- can_handle: claim only a real agents.Agent; remove the broad duck-typed (name/hooks/tools) fallback.
- docstring/comments: refer to the generic 'governance host', not uipath-runtime internals.
- tests: can_handle uses a real Agent; a duck-typed look-alike is now rejected.

Pull request overview

Adds an OpenAI Agents governance adapter to uipath-openai-agents, wired via entry-point discovery, along with a dedicated test suite to validate hook extraction, chaining, and enforcement behavior.

Changes:

  • Introduces OpenAIAgentsAdapter + GovernanceAgentHooks to govern OpenAI Agents SDK runs via AgentHooks callbacks.
  • Adds governance adapter registration via uipath.governance.adapters entry point (no import-time registry mutation).
  • Adds unit tests covering can_handle, attach/detach semantics, hook payload extraction, delegation, and exception handling.

- Module docstring: registers via the uipath.governance.adapters entry point, not at import time.
- Text-cap comment: refer to the governance host, not the uipath-runtime wrapper constant.
- _iter_agents docstring: drop the stale 'duck-typed so Agent need not be importable' claim (the module imports agents.Agent).
- Test docstring: note can_handle uses a real agents.Agent; only payload shapes are faked.

These files were swept into the branch by a broad add; they are unrelated to the governance adapter. Reverting/removing them so the PR contains only governance changes.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
An earlier cleanup commit compared against a stale local main and wrongly removed SETUP.MD and reverted the LlamaIndex docs change. Both files come from main (PRs #352/#356), not this branch. Restore them to the main version so this PR is governance-only with no spurious deletions.
