Add OTel GenAI traces:
- `create_agent`
- `invoke_agnet`
- `execute_tool`
Introduces context manager helpers to create these traces. The helpers
also serve as instrumentation points for other instrumentation
libraries.
Resolves#6644
## Why are these changes needed?
This PR introduces a new `OpenAIAgent` implementation that uses the
[OpenAI Response
API](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/responses-vs-chat-completions)
as its backend. The OpenAI Assistant API will be deprecated in 2026, and
the Response API is its successor. This change ensures our codebase is
future-proof and aligned with OpenAI’s latest platform direction.
### Motivation
- **Deprecation Notice:** The OpenAI Assistant API will be deprecated in
2026.
- **Future-Proofing:** The Response API is the recommended replacement
and offers improved capabilities for stateful, multi-turn, and
tool-augmented conversations.
- **AgentChat Compatibility:** The new agent is designed to conform to
the behavior and expectations of `AssistantAgent` in AgentChat, but is
implemented directly on top of the OpenAI Response API.
### Key Changes
- **New Agent:** Adds `OpenAIAgent`, a stateful agent that interacts
with the OpenAI Response API.
- **Stateful Design:** The agent maintains conversation state, tool
usage, and other metadata as required by the Response API.
- **AssistantAgent Parity:** The new agent matches the interface and
behavior of `AssistantAgent` in AgentChat, ensuring a smooth migration
path.
- **Direct OpenAI Integration:** Uses the official `openai` Python
library for all API interactions.
- **Extensible:** Designed to support future enhancements, such as
advanced tool use, function calling, and multi-modal capabilities.
### Migration Path
- Existing users of the Assistant API should migrate to the new
`OpenAIAgent` to ensure long-term compatibility.
- Documentation and examples will be updated to reflect the new agent
and its usage patterns.
