What it is

Our note

Agent Builder wires long-lived context via Connector Registry (Dropbox, Google Drive, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, MCP servers) and Guardrails for PII masking and jailbreak detection; per OpenAI's own update, Agent Builder and Evals are being wound down from November 30, 2026, with the Agents SDK as the migration path for code-based agents.
