Scenario
Internal-knowledge agent framework recommendation
Internal knowledge agents usually need retrieval, citations, access control, and simple tool use. The OpenAI Agents SDK is a good fit for OpenAI-first teams; LangGraph wins when workflows branch heavily.

Scenario-specific FAQs
What matters most for knowledge agents?
Access control, retrieval quality, citation behaviour, and source freshness matter more than agent theatrics. The framework should make permissions and source handling easy to audit.
When should I avoid agents here?
Avoid agents when users only need search plus answer synthesis. A RAG application with clear citations may be cheaper, faster, and safer than an autonomous agent.
