Real-time device control for OpenAI Agents SDK

Your agent can trigger firmware logic directly using `call_function`. Just define your actuator state in code and let the agent handle the execution flow. It handles the handoff from your internal logic to the hardware seamlessly. You'll see the execution status code returned immediately in your OpenAI dashboard traces.

Telemetry monitoring with OpenAI Agents SDK

Read live sensor data by calling `read_variable` whenever your agent needs context. It maps the firmware variable to your agent's decision-making loop. This keeps your agent informed on real-world conditions. Use `ping_device` first to verify the hardware is reachable before you pull the data.

Fleet management via MCP Server

Keep your device inventory current by calling `get_devices`. It pulls the latest firmware versions and connection states into your agent workspace. Managing your hardware fleet becomes a simple API call. You can rename devices or decommission them using `rename_device` or `unclaim_device` as your deployment scales.

Setup guide

Set up Particle IoT 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 Particle IoT tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

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

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate Particle IoT 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="Particle IoT Agent",
            instructions="You have access to Particle IoT tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Particle IoT MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Install the SDK and pass the server instance to your agent constructor. The agent auto-discovers the tools and prepares them for execution.

Yes. The SDK includes built-in guardrails that validate every tool call before the request hits the cloud. This prevents unauthorized commands.

It connects to any device claimed on your account. As long as the firmware exposes variables or functions, the agent can interact with them.

You should implement an exponential backoff strategy in your agent loop. This ensures you stay within the cloud API limits during high-frequency tasks.

Your device variables and function results travel over encrypted channels. Only the specific data you request is processed by your agent instance.
