How can you extend an OpenAI functions agent to handle asynchronous function calls?

AUse a separate library for async calls, unrelated to the agent

BWrap functions in threads and call synchronously

CConvert async functions to sync using time.sleep

DDefine async functions and use an async-compatible agent method

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Recognize async function support
To handle async calls, functions must be async and the agent must support async invocation.
Step 2: Evaluate options
Define async functions and use an async-compatible agent method correctly describes defining async functions and using async agent methods. Others are workarounds or unrelated.
Final Answer:
Define async functions and use an async-compatible agent method -> Option D
Quick Check:
Async functions require async agent calls = Define async functions and use an async-compatible agent method [OK]

Quick Trick: Use async functions and async agent methods together [OK]
