gpt_oss/tools/README.md

+You can create custom tools by implementing the `Tool` interface:
+
+```python
+from gpt_oss.tools.tool import Tool


The import path references gpt_oss.tools.tool but this may not be the actual module structure. Verify that this import path exists and matches the actual codebase structure.

Suggested change

from gpt_oss.tools.tool import Tool

# If using as part of the gpt_oss package:

# from gpt_oss.tools.tool import Tool

# If working locally in this directory, use:

from .tool import Tool

gpt_oss/evals/README.md

The command references gpt_oss.evals.report module which may not exist. Verify that this module path is correct and that the report functionality is actually implemented.

Suggested change

```bash

python -m gpt_oss.evals.report --results results.json

```python

import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_json("results.json")

print(df.head())

The link path ../gpt_oss/responses_api/ appears incorrect from the streamlit example directory. It should likely be ../../gpt_oss/responses_api/ to properly navigate from examples/streamlit/ to the root-level gpt_oss directory.
