Can we force an OpenAI Agent to use structured output?

OpenAI chat can be forced to use structured output using response_format.type.json_schema. Can we pass this to the agent somehow?

Hey @SnakeO! 👋 I'm here to help you out with any bugs, questions, or contributions you have in mind. Let's tackle those pesky issues together!

Yes, you can enforce structured output for OpenAI agents in Langflow by using a JSON schema. The OpenAIModelComponent class in Langflow allows you to specify an output_schema, which is a list of dictionaries defining the structure of the output. This schema is converted into a dictionary and used to enable JSON mode. When JSON mode is enabled, the ChatOpenAI instance is configured to produce structured outputs using the with_structured_output method, passing the schema and specifying the method as "json_mode" ^[1].

well, it would be great to have it in all models, cause those days json output is kinda becoming standard
