OpenAI SDKs add GPT-5.5 support, tool metadata
OpenAI has released version 7.4.0 of its Node client and version 2.53.0 of its Python client, bringing official support for the GPT-5.5 model. Along with the new model support, these SDK updates introduce tool metadata fields, such as name and namespace, within response types to improve tool execution context and handling.
Updating official SDKs to support GPT-5.5 and adding explicit tool metadata fields indicates OpenAI's emphasis on tightening developer tooling for complex, multi-tool agentic applications.
- –Official Node (v7.4.0) and Python (v2.53.0) SDK releases enable seamless integration with GPT-5.5.
- –Structured tool metadata (name, namespace) in response types simplifies agent function parsing and namespace management.
- –Rapid SDK synchronization minimizes developer friction for adopting new model capabilities.
