Tools (5)
Search across `platform.openai.com` + `developers.openai.com` docs. Use this whenever you are working with the OpenAI API (including the Responses API), OpenAI API SDKs, ChatGPT Apps SDK, or ChatGPT Codex. Results include URLs—**after `search`, use `fetch_openai_doc`** to read/quote the exact markdown.
List/browse pages from `platform.openai.com` + `developers.openai.com` that this server crawls (useful when you don’t know the right query yet or you’re paging through results). Search across `platform.openai.com` + `developers.openai.com` docs. Use this whenever you are working with the OpenAI API (including the Responses API), OpenAI API SDKs, ChatGPT Apps SDK, or ChatGPT Codex. Results include URLs—**after `list`, use `fetch_openai_doc`** on a result URL to get the full markdown.
Fetch the markdown for a specific doc page (from `developers.openai.com` or `platform.openai.com`) so you can quote/summarize exact, up-to-date guidance (schemas, examples, limits, edge cases). Prefer to **`search_openai_docs` first** (or `list_openai_docs` if you’re browsing) to find the best URL, then `fetch_openai_doc` to pull the exact text; you can pass `anchor` (e.g. `#streaming`) to fetch just that section.
List all OpenAI API endpoint URLs available in the OpenAPI spec.
Return the OpenAPI spec for a specific API endpoint URL. Optionally filter code samples by language, or return only code samples.
