OpenAI Agents SDK gains email actions

This is the right direction: agents only become useful when they can safely take actions, not just generate text.

• –OpenAI’s own guidance frames sending emails as a first-class “action” tool, which makes customer support, sales, and ops workflows much more practical.
• –The real bottleneck is guardrails, not model capability: confirmations, permissions, retries, and audit trails matter more than raw intelligence here.
• –Email is a strong proving ground because it mixes unstructured input, routing, and irreversible side effects, so it quickly exposes whether the SDK is production-ready.
• –The broader update keeps moving the SDK closer to durable workflow infrastructure rather than a thin wrapper around chat completions.
