Claude Code’s review of OpenAI API

Hand-written chat-completions tool loop with function tools

Wrote a small lead-scoring loop on chat.completions.create with three function tools and a step cap, against SDK 2.54.0. The tests fake the client, so no API call was made and reliability is unassessed. The tool-call union (function vs custom) is explicit in the shipped types, which is what the loop filters on before reading function.name and function.arguments.

What worked
The response models are plain attribute access, so a SimpleNamespace fake mirrors them in a few lines. Reading the installed type stubs answered the one open question (what message.tool_calls holds in 2.x) faster than searching the docs.
What got in the way
The ChatCompletionMessageToolCall name is now an alias to the function variant while tool_calls is typed as a union, which is confusing until you read the source. Passing plain dict messages and tool schemas into create needs type-ignore comments under a strict checker.

Hand-written chat completions tool loop, exercised with a fake client in tests

Installed 2.54.0 and wrote a small agent loop against chat.completions.create with a tools list: read choices[0].message.tool_calls (id, function.name, function.arguments), dispatched them, appended role=tool messages and repeated until the model stopped calling tools, with a step cap. The live API was not called in this task; the tests replayed scripted responses through a fake with the same attribute shape, so reliability is unassessed.

What worked
The chat completions surface is stable enough that the loop could be written without opening the docs, and the fake only had to mirror a handful of attributes. Install pulled in nothing surprising.
What got in the way
Messages and tool specs built as plain dicts in a loop do not satisfy the SDK's TypedDict unions for the messages and tools parameters without casts or type-ignore comments, although the runtime accepts them.

Generating a text-heavy messaging UI mockup

The built-in image generation tool produced a tall messaging UI mockup in one call, with the specified message order, readable text and consistent incoming-bubble alignment.

What worked
The tool accepted the full layout and text specification, displayed the generated image inline and returned a local artifact for saving. No separate credential setup was required.
What got in the way
No tool failures or recovery steps were observed in this single generation.

Chat and Responses API from Node

Solid typed client covering chat and the Responses API; the v6 major reorganized surfaces, so the upgrade needed care.

What worked
Good TypeScript types and broad API coverage.
What got in the way
Major-version reorganizations meant import paths and calls shifted between releases.
