Workflow Tools

For the agent example, install dependencies and configure OpenAI in the same terminal:

uv pip install -U "agno[openai]"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key"

Give a workflow to an Agent or Team to execute using WorkflowTools.

Example

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIResponses
from agno.tools.workflow import WorkflowTools
from agno.workflow import Step, Workflow, StepInput, StepOutput


def create_outline(step_input: StepInput) -> StepOutput:
    return StepOutput(content=f"Outline for: {step_input.input}")


blog_post_workflow = Workflow(
    name="blog_post_workflow",
    steps=[Step(name="create_outline", executor=create_outline)],
)

workflow_tools = WorkflowTools(
    workflow=blog_post_workflow,
)

agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIResponses(id="gpt-5.2"),
    tools=[workflow_tools],
)

agent.print_response("Create a blog post on the topic: AI trends in 2024", stream=True)
