How to Use the Egnyte MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can the OpenAI Agents SDK read Egnyte file metadata?

Yes. The agent uses the getfilemetadata tool to pull exact file details like size, creation date, and version history. It auto-discovers this tool as soon as you connect the MCP server.

Connect Egnyte to your OpenAI Agents SDK production environment for secure file management and automated compliance auditing.

Automate file operations with OpenAI Agents SDK

The `create_folder` and `search_files` tools let your agent map out your Egnyte directory structure and build new project hierarchies on the fly. You just tell the agent what you need, and it handles the file organization without you touching the UI. If a file is in the wrong place or no longer needed, the agent calls `delete_item` to clean it up. Since you run this through the OpenAI dashboard, every single folder creation or deletion gets traced. You know exactly what the agent touched and when.

Enforce access controls and audit trails

Your agent reads domain security events directly using the `get_audit_logs` tool. This pulls raw event data into your OpenAI guardrails, letting you validate access patterns before the agent executes its next step. You can also pull user metadata with `list_users` and `list_groups`. This means your specialized security agent can check who belongs to which group and hand off the actual permission changes to a different agent, keeping your production workflows strictly separated.

Manage shared links securely via MCP Server

Generating external access is handled through the `create_shared_link` tool. Your agent requests a link, sets the permissions, and returns the URL directly to your application layer. To keep things clean, the agent periodically runs `list_shared_links` to audit what is currently exposed. If it finds stale links, it flags them. You get automated link lifecycle management backed by OpenAI's execution tracing.

Setup guide

Set up Egnyte MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
openai-agents package (pip install openai-agents)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install the SDK

Run pip install openai-agents to install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed.
2

Connect via SSE transport

Use MCPServerSse with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all Egnyte tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives Egnyte tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate Egnyte tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.

agent.py

import asyncio
from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerSse

async def main():
    async with MCPServerSse(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ) as server:
        agent = Agent(
            name="Egnyte Agent",
            instructions="You have access to Egnyte tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Egnyte MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Install openai-agents via pip. Create an MCPServerStreamableHttp instance with your endpoint URL, and pass it to your Agent constructor using the mcp_servers parameter. Set cacheToolsList=True to speed up tool discovery.

Yes. The agent uses the get_file_metadata tool to pull exact file details like size, creation date, and version history. It auto-discovers this tool as soon as you connect the MCP server.

You define constraints in your agent setup. Before the agent executes delete_item or create_shared_link, the SDK validates the action against your rules to prevent destructive operations.

The failure registers in the OpenAI tracing dashboard. You can see the exact parameters passed to tools like get_account_info and debug the error directly from your production logs.

The server only accesses the specific file metadata, user lists, and audit logs you request through the tools. It runs in a zero-trust V8 Isolate sandbox, meaning your raw enterprise content and domain info disappear the moment the session ends.
