Thanks for reporting this issue. I confirmed the error occurs with the code example:

```python

import asyncio

import logging



from agents import Agent, ModelSettings, Runner, handoff



logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)



async def main():

    agent2 = Agent(

        name="Assistant 2",

        model="gpt-5-mini",

        instructions="You always respond politely.",

        model_settings=ModelSettings(store=False),

    )

    agent = Agent(

        name="Assistant",

        model="gpt-5-mini",

        instructions="You always hand off to the assistant2 agent.",

        model_settings=ModelSettings(store=False),

        handoffs=[handoff(agent2)],

    )



    result = await Runner.run(agent, "Tell me something about San Francisco.")

    print(result.final_output)



if __name__ == "__main__":

    asyncio.run(main())

```



The error:

```
