Thanks for sharing this feedback. While Responses API already provides [its background mode](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/background) for a single LLM call (+built-in tools,. hosted MCP server tools), this Agents SDK does not yet provide the equivalent feature for a whole agent loop. 



Agent loop could include local function tool calls, so the implementation may not be that simple. That said, we'll continue exploring viable solutions for the use case.
