print(result)
```

```typescript
const tools = session.tools;
const response = await openai.responses.create({
  model: 'gpt-4.1',
  tools: tools,
  input: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Verify and standardize this address: 123 Main St, Springfield, IL'
  }],
});
const result = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(

        }
    },
    system_prompt='You are a helpful assistant with access to Postgrid tools.',
    max_turns=10
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('Send a letter to 123 Main St with a welcome message')
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, 'content'):
                for block in message.content:
                    if hasattr(block, 'text'):

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
