Description
We can not capture exceptions in tool execution here because _on_invoke_tool is swallowing the exception here:
https://github.com/openai/openai-agents-python/blob/main/src/agents/tool.py#L409-L422
And because function_tool is a decorator with default_tool_error_function set as a default parameter
I was unable to monkey patch it because those are evaluated at module import time and the SDK is too late to patch it. I was also unable to patch _on_invoke_tool_impl because it is nested inside this import time code. As if they made it hard to patch on purpose...
Right now we just check if the output of the tool is a string that starts with "An error occurred while running the tool" and if so set the spans status to internal_error. But we do not have any stack trace or all the other context information. There must be a better way.
Here is the communication I started with OpenAI to improve things:
