# Tools
|
||||
|
||||
Tools are functions that extend the agent's capabilities. Each tool is defined with an OpenAI-compatible JSON schema and an async handler function.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Each tool module in `tools/` exports:
|
||||
1. **Schema definitions** - OpenAI function-calling format
|
||||
2. **Handler functions** - Async functions that execute the tool
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Example: tools/web_tools.py
|
||||
|
||||
# Schema definition
|
||||
WEB_SEARCH_SCHEMA = {
|
||||
"type": "function",
|
||||
"function": {
|
||||
"name": "web_search",
|
||||
"description": "Search the web for information",
|
||||
"parameters": {
|
||||
"type": "object",
|
||||
"properties": {
|
||||
"query": {"type": "string", "description": "Search query"}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"required": ["query"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
# Handler function
|
||||
async def web_search(query: str) -> dict:
|
||||
"""Execute web search and return results."""
|
||||
# Implementation...
|
||||
return {"results": [...]}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool Categories
|
||||
|
||||
| Category | Module | Tools |
|
||||
|----------|--------|-------|
|
||||
| **Web** | `web_tools.py` | `web_search`, `web_extract`, `web_crawl` |
|
||||
| **Terminal** | `terminal_tool.py` | `terminal` (local/docker/singularity/modal backends) |
|
||||
| **Browser** | `browser_tool.py` | `browser_navigate`, `browser_click`, `browser_type`, etc. |
|
||||
| **Vision** | `vision_tools.py` | `vision_analyze` |
|
||||
| **Image Gen** | `image_generation_tool.py` | `image_generate` |
|
||||
| **Reasoning** | `mixture_of_agents_tool.py` | `mixture_of_agents` |
|
||||
| **Skills** | `skills_tool.py` | `skills_categories`, `skills_list`, `skill_view` |
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool Registration
|
||||
|
||||
Tools are registered in `model_tools.py`:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# model_tools.py
|
||||
TOOL_SCHEMAS = [
|
||||
*WEB_TOOL_SCHEMAS,
|
||||
*TERMINAL_TOOL_SCHEMAS,
|
||||
*BROWSER_TOOL_SCHEMAS,
|
||||
# ...
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
TOOL_HANDLERS = {
|
||||
"web_search": web_search,
|
||||
"terminal": terminal_tool,
|
||||
"browser_navigate": browser_navigate,
|
||||
# ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Toolsets
|
||||
|
||||
Tools are grouped into **toolsets** for logical organization (see `toolsets.py`):
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
TOOLSETS = {
|
||||
"web": {
|
||||
"description": "Web search and content extraction",
|
||||
"tools": ["web_search", "web_extract", "web_crawl"]
|
||||
},
|
||||
"terminal": {
|
||||
"description": "Command execution",
|
||||
"tools": ["terminal"]
|
||||
},
|
||||
# ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding a New Tool
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create handler function in `tools/your_tool.py`
|
||||
2. Define JSON schema following OpenAI format
|
||||
3. Register in `model_tools.py` (schemas and handlers)
|
||||
4. Add to appropriate toolset in `toolsets.py`
|
||||
5. Update `tools/__init__.py` exports
|
||||
|
||||
## Stateful Tools
|
||||
|
||||
Some tools maintain state across calls within a session:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Terminal**: Keeps container/sandbox running between commands
|
||||
- **Browser**: Maintains browser session for multi-step navigation
|
||||
|
||||
State is managed per `task_id` and cleaned up automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
## Skills Tools (Progressive Disclosure)
|
||||
|
||||
Skills are on-demand knowledge documents. They use **progressive disclosure** to minimize tokens:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Level 0: skills_categories() → ["mlops", "devops"] (~50 tokens)
|
||||
Level 1: skills_list(category) → [{name, description}, ...] (~3k tokens)
|
||||
Level 2: skill_view(name) → Full content + metadata (varies)
|
||||
Level 3: skill_view(name, path) → Specific reference file (varies)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Skill directory structure:
|
||||
```
|
||||
skills/
|
||||
└── mlops/
|
||||
└── axolotl/
|
||||
├── SKILL.md # Main instructions (required)
|
||||
├── references/ # Additional docs
|
||||
└── templates/ # Output formats, configs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
SKILL.md uses YAML frontmatter:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
name: axolotl
|
||||
description: Fine-tuning LLMs with Axolotl
|
||||
tags: [Fine-Tuning, LoRA, DPO]
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
