Ask HN: Anyone using OpenAI's Agent SDK in production?

I'm exploring building a simple agent-based app and came across OpenAI's Agent SDK: https://openai.github.io/openai-agents-js/ . From what I understand, it wraps a lot of functionality — like the agent loop, function calling, and integration with the OpenAI MCP server — which could potentially save me a lot of work compared to using the plain OpenAI SDK.

However, I'm wondering:

Is the Agent SDK too abstracted or hard to debug?

Has anyone actually used it in a real production app yet?

Would I be better off just implementing the logic myself on top of the plain OpenAI SDK for more control and transparency?

Appreciate any insights.
