OutputMessageItemPhaseUnion - TypeScript SDK

OutputMessageItemPhaseUnion type definition

The TypeScript SDK and docs are currently in beta. Report issues on GitHub.

The phase of an assistant message. Use commentary for an intermediate assistant message and final_answer for the final assistant message. For follow-up requests with models like gpt-5.3-codex and later, preserve and resend phase on all assistant messages. Omitting it can degrade performance. Not used for user messages.
