ZDR Reasoning Agent

Disable Responses application-state storage with store=False while retaining multi-turn context in InMemoryDb.

Use store=False to disable Responses application-state storage while keeping multi-turn context in InMemoryDb.

The source labels this agent ZDR compliant. store=False disables Responses application-state storage; default abuse-monitoring retention can still apply. Zero Data Retention requires prior OpenAI approval and organization or project configuration. See OpenAI data controls.

OpenAI schedules o3-mini and o4-mini for shutdown on October 23, 2026. The provider lifecycle notice lists their replacements. Check the selected replacement's reasoning and service-tier support before changing the source model ID.
