OpenAI Swarm
Open‑source experimental SDK for lightweight multi‑agent orchestration via instructions and handoffs.
🛡️ AgentReady threat assessment
MAESTRO 7-layer threat model + OWASP AIVSS risk score for OpenAI Swarm, derived from its capabilities.
These scores are auto-generated from public information (the agent's own listing, docs, and repository) using the canonical OWASP AIVSS formula and the MAESTRO framework — an estimate for guidance, not a penetration test, audit, or certification. See the scoring methodology. Are you the vendor? Factual corrections are free.
Overview
Swarm is an open‑source, educational multi‑agent orchestration framework from OpenAI. It allows developers to define agents with instructions and tools, and supports handoffs—agent transfers via function calls—for dynamic workflows. Swarm is client‑side, stateless between runs, MIT‑licensed, and ideal for exploring multi‑agent patterns, though not intended for production.
