[OpenAI Agent] Enable web browsing and API tool functionality for commercial sites

The OpenAI Agent fails to perform tasks like shopping, booking, or reservations because it is blocked by anti-bot systems on major commercial websites and its "API Tool" is disabled. The user requests that these functionalities be enabled and improved so the agent can fulfill its advertised capabilities.

Spent my afternoon stress-testing the new “Agent” feature that’s supposed to handle shopping, travel, and reservations for you. Here’s the real-world outcome: What the Marketing Promised: AI agent that browses the web and completes tasks! **What Actually Happened:** A token-devouring Wikipedia wrapper that can’t access any major commercial site. **My Test Results** **What Failed:** * **Amazon:** “Sorry, something went wrong” (classic Amazon error dog screen) * **Best Buy, Walmart, Target:** All blocked * **Travel/Booking Sites:** No bookings, no reservations * **Any JavaScript-heavy site:** Non-functional **What Worked:** * Wikipedia * Some government sites * Generating PowerPoints explaining its own failures **Technical Architecture Exposed** * Agent uses **two browsers** (text and GUI). Both get shut down by anti-bot systems everywhere that matters. * The “API Tool” (which should connect to partners) is **disabled**, with zero transparency on when or why. * Token usage is wild: my first big task looped for 18 minutes, retrying the same failures until I killed it. * **No visibility on token consumption:** Agent admits it cannot show you how many tokens it’s burning. **Notable Moments** * Asked if Agent was worth $20/month. No answer—just endless “thinking” until my quota ran out. * When confronted (“You can’t complete tasks, you’re not worth $20/month”), it only replied: Understood. Thank you for sharing your perspective. TL;DR You’re paying $20/month to *beta test* a product that: * Can’t shop (blocked everywhere) * Can’t book travel * Can’t make reservations * Burns tokens at a crazy rate (no tracking) * Fails silently unless you force it to admit it https://preview.redd.it/g2ldfl47g9ff1.png?width=1626&format=png&auto=webp&s=c27ecd4de935876b4eea5e2d39429184a5f95ba9 https://preview.redd.it/7ej7fej9g9ff1.png?width=1536&format=png&auto=webp&s=44e9b4c05cf1a88133e69d0e2b87908727e91206 https://preview.redd.it/0jnxxdqfg9ff1.png?width=1189&format=png&auto=webp&s=436670df1e0f693c3cee7e2870b74a9526fb4680 https://preview.redd.it/37z2ctuhg9ff1.png?width=1680&format=png&auto=webp&s=f02ed5d641fbb2fa0a282738526b6fb07181b6aa https://preview.redd.it/tqm7d3xjg9ff1.png?width=1272&format=png&auto=webp&s=c241f99bfc420f6fc9100f672805bc7cdadc8671 [I will continue to share on a new post in this thread I am limited by Reddit ](https://preview.redd.it/2dzf669mg9ff1.png?width=1450&format=png&auto=webp&s=dc266b49d0e20c63cbc0025a3dd3df458938562d)
