定义自定义工具

当构建自己的代理时，您需要为其提供一组工具列表，代理可以使用这些工具。除了调用的实际函数之外，工具由几个组件组成：

• name（str），是必需的，并且在提供给代理的工具集中必须是唯一的
• description（str），是可选的但建议的，因为代理使用它来确定工具的使用方式
• return_direct（bool），默认为 False
• args_schema（Pydantic BaseModel），是可选的但建议的，可以用于提供更多信息（例如，few-shot 示例）或用于验证预期参数。

有两种主要的定义工具的方式，下面的示例中将介绍这两种方式。

# Import things that are needed generically
from langchain import LLMMathChain, SerpAPIWrapper
from langchain.agents import AgentType, initialize_agent
from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI
from langchain.tools import BaseTool, StructuredTool, Tool, tool

Initialize the LLM to use for the agent.

llm = ChatOpenAI(temperature=0)

Completely New Tools - String Input and Output

The simplest tools accept a single query string and return a string output. If your tool function requires multiple arguments, you might want to skip down to the StructuredTool section below.

There are two ways to do this: either by using the Tool dataclass, or by subclassing the BaseTool class.

Tool dataclass

The 'Tool' dataclass wraps functions that accept a single string input and returns a string output.

# Load the tool configs that are needed.
search = SerpAPIWrapper()
llm_math_chain = LLMMathChain(llm=llm, verbose=True)
tools = [
    Tool.from_function(
        func=search.run,
        name="Search",
        description="useful for when you need to answer questions about current events"
        # coroutine= ... <- you can specify an async method if desired as well
    ),
]

/Users/wfh/code/lc/lckg/langchain/chains/llm_math/base.py:50: UserWarning: Directly instantiating an LLMMathChain with an llm is deprecated. Please instantiate with llm_chain argument or using the from_llm class method.
  warnings.warn(

You can also define a custom `args_schema`` to provide more information about inputs.

from pydantic import BaseModel, Field


class CalculatorInput(BaseModel):
    question: str = Field()


tools.append(
    Tool.from_function(
        func=llm_math_chain.run,
        name="Calculator",
        description="useful for when you need to answer questions about math",
        args_schema=CalculatorInput
        # coroutine= ... <- you can specify an async method if desired as well
    )
)

# Construct the agent. We will use the default agent type here.
# See documentation for a full list of options.
agent = initialize_agent(
    tools, llm, agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION, verbose=True
)

agent.run(
    "Who is Leo DiCaprio's girlfriend? What is her current age raised to the 0.43 power?"
)

Subclassing the BaseTool class

You can also directly subclass BaseTool. This is useful if you want more control over the instance variables or if you want to propagate callbacks to nested chains or other tools.

from typing import Optional, Type

from langchain.callbacks.manager import (
    AsyncCallbackManagerForToolRun,
    CallbackManagerForToolRun,
)


class CustomSearchTool(BaseTool):
    name = "custom_search"
    description = "useful for when you need to answer questions about current events"

    def _run(
        self, query: str, run_manager: Optional[CallbackManagerForToolRun] = None
    ) -> str:
        """Use the tool."""
        return search.run(query)

    async def _arun(
        self, query: str, run_manager: Optional[AsyncCallbackManagerForToolRun] = None
    ) -> str:
        """Use the tool asynchronously."""
        raise NotImplementedError("custom_search does not support async")


class CustomCalculatorTool(BaseTool):
    name = "Calculator"
    description = "useful for when you need to answer questions about math"
    args_schema: Type[BaseModel] = CalculatorInput

    def _run(
        self, query: str, run_manager: Optional[CallbackManagerForToolRun] = None
    ) -> str:
        """Use the tool."""
        return llm_math_chain.run(query)

    async def _arun(
        self, query: str, run_manager: Optional[AsyncCallbackManagerForToolRun] = None
    ) -> str:
        """Use the tool asynchronously."""
        raise NotImplementedError("Calculator does not support async")

tools = [CustomSearchTool(), CustomCalculatorTool()]
agent = initialize_agent(
    tools, llm, agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION, verbose=True
)

agent.run(
    "Who is Leo DiCaprio's girlfriend? What is her current age raised to the 0.43 power?"
)

Using the tool decorator

To make it easier to define custom tools, a @tool decorator is provided. This decorator can be used to quickly create a Tool from a simple function. The decorator uses the function name as the tool name by default, but this can be overridden by passing a string as the first argument. Additionally, the decorator will use the function's docstring as the tool's description.

from langchain.tools import tool


@tool
def search_api(query: str) -> str:
    """Searches the API for the query."""
    return f"Results for query {query}"


search_api

You can also provide arguments like the tool name and whether to return directly.

@tool("search", return_direct=True)
def search_api(query: str) -> str:
    """Searches the API for the query."""
    return "Results"

search_api

Tool(name='search', description='search(query: str) -> str - Searches the API for the query.', args_schema=<class 'pydantic.main.SearchApi'>, return_direct=True, verbose=False, callback_manager=<langchain.callbacks.shared.SharedCallbackManager object at 0x12748c4c0>, func=<function search_api at 0x16bd66310>, coroutine=None)

You can also provide args_schema to provide more information about the argument

class SearchInput(BaseModel):
    query: str = Field(description="should be a search query")


@tool("search", return_direct=True, args_schema=SearchInput)
def search_api(query: str) -> str:
    """Searches the API for the query."""
    return "Results"

search_api

Tool(name='search', description='search(query: str) -> str - Searches the API for the query.', args_schema=<class '__main__.SearchInput'>, return_direct=True, verbose=False, callback_manager=<langchain.callbacks.shared.SharedCallbackManager object at 0x12748c4c0>, func=<function search_api at 0x16bcf0ee0>, coroutine=None)

Custom Structured Tools

If your functions require more structured arguments, you can use the StructuredTool class directly, or still subclass the BaseTool class.

StructuredTool dataclass

To dynamically generate a structured tool from a given function, the fastest way to get started is with StructuredTool.from_function().

import requests
from langchain.tools import StructuredTool


def post_message(url: str, body: dict, parameters: Optional[dict] = None) -> str:
    """Sends a POST request to the given url with the given body and parameters."""
    result = requests.post(url, json=body, params=parameters)
    return f"Status: {result.status_code} - {result.text}"


tool = StructuredTool.from_function(post_message)

Subclassing the BaseTool

The BaseTool automatically infers the schema from the _run method's signature.

from typing import Optional, Type

from langchain.callbacks.manager import (
    AsyncCallbackManagerForToolRun,
    CallbackManagerForToolRun,
)


class CustomSearchTool(BaseTool):
    name = "custom_search"
    description = "useful for when you need to answer questions about current events"

    def _run(
        self,
        query: str,
        engine: str = "google",
        gl: str = "us",
        hl: str = "en",
        run_manager: Optional[CallbackManagerForToolRun] = None,
    ) -> str:
        """Use the tool."""
        search_wrapper = SerpAPIWrapper(params={"engine": engine, "gl": gl, "hl": hl})
        return search_wrapper.run(query)

    async def _arun(
        self,
        query: str,
        engine: str = "google",
        gl: str = "us",
        hl: str = "en",
        run_manager: Optional[AsyncCallbackManagerForToolRun] = None,
    ) -> str:
        """Use the tool asynchronously."""
        raise NotImplementedError("custom_search does not support async")


# You can provide a custom args schema to add descriptions or custom validation


class SearchSchema(BaseModel):
    query: str = Field(description="should be a search query")
    engine: str = Field(description="should be a search engine")
    gl: str = Field(description="should be a country code")
    hl: str = Field(description="should be a language code")


class CustomSearchTool(BaseTool):
    name = "custom_search"
    description = "useful for when you need to answer questions about current events"
    args_schema: Type[SearchSchema] = SearchSchema

    def _run(
        self,
        query: str,
        engine: str = "google",
        gl: str = "us",
        hl: str = "en",
        run_manager: Optional[CallbackManagerForToolRun] = None,
    ) -> str:
        """Use the tool."""
        search_wrapper = SerpAPIWrapper(params={"engine": engine, "gl": gl, "hl": hl})
        return search_wrapper.run(query)

    async def _arun(
        self,
        query: str,
        engine: str = "google",
        gl: str = "us",
        hl: str = "en",
        run_manager: Optional[AsyncCallbackManagerForToolRun] = None,
    ) -> str:
        """Use the tool asynchronously."""
        raise NotImplementedError("custom_search does not support async")

Using the decorator

The tool decorator creates a structured tool automatically if the signature has multiple arguments.

import requests
from langchain.tools import tool


@tool
def post_message(url: str, body: dict, parameters: Optional[dict] = None) -> str:
    """Sends a POST request to the given url with the given body and parameters."""
    result = requests.post(url, json=body, params=parameters)
    return f"Status: {result.status_code} - {result.text}"

Modify existing tools

Now, we show how to load existing tools and modify them directly. In the example below, we do something really simple and change the Search tool to have the name Google Search.

from langchain.agents import load_tools

tools = load_tools(["serpapi", "llm-math"], llm=llm)

tools[0].name = "Google Search"

agent = initialize_agent(
    tools, llm, agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION, verbose=True
)

agent.run(
    "Who is Leo DiCaprio's girlfriend? What is her current age raised to the 0.43 power?"
)

> Entering new AgentExecutor chain...

"The age of Leo DiCaprio's girlfriend raised to the 0.43 power is approximately 3.55."

Defining the priorities among Tools

When you made a Custom tool, you may want the Agent to use the custom tool more than normal tools.

For example, you made a custom tool, which gets information on music from your database. When a user wants information on songs, You want the Agent to use the custom tool more than the normal Search tool. But the Agent might prioritize a normal Search tool.

This can be accomplished by adding a statement such as Use this more than the normal search if the question is about Music, like 'who is the singer of yesterday?' or 'what is the most popular song in 2022?' to the description.

An example is below.

# Import things that are needed generically
from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, Tool
from langchain.agents import AgentType
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
from langchain import LLMMathChain, SerpAPIWrapper

search = SerpAPIWrapper()
tools = [
    Tool(
        name="Search",
        func=search.run,
        description="useful for when you need to answer questions about current events",
    ),
    Tool(
        name="Music Search",
        func=lambda x: "'All I Want For Christmas Is You' by Mariah Carey.",  # Mock Function
        description="A Music search engine. Use this more than the normal search if the question is about Music, like 'who is the singer of yesterday?' or 'what is the most popular song in 2022?'",
    ),
]

agent = initialize_agent(
    tools,
    OpenAI(temperature=0),
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    verbose=True,
)

agent.run("what is the most famous song of christmas")

> Entering new AgentExecutor chain...
 I should use a music search engine to find the answer
Action: Music Search
Action Input: most famous song of christmas'All I Want For Christmas Is You' by Mariah Carey. I now know the final answer
Final Answer: 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' by Mariah Carey.

> Finished chain.





"'All I Want For Christmas Is You' by Mariah Carey."

Using tools to return directly

Often, it can be desirable to have a tool output returned directly to the user, if it’s called. You can do this easily with LangChain by setting the return_direct flag for a tool to be True.

llm_math_chain = LLMMathChain(llm=llm)
tools = [
    Tool(
        name="Calculator",
        func=llm_math_chain.run,
        description="useful for when you need to answer questions about math",
        return_direct=True,
    )
]

llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)
agent = initialize_agent(
    tools, llm, agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION, verbose=True
)

agent.run("whats 2**.12")

> Entering new AgentExecutor chain...
 I need to calculate this
Action: Calculator
Action Input: 2**.12Answer: 1.086734862526058

> Finished chain.





'Answer: 1.086734862526058'

Handling Tool Errors

When a tool encounters an error and the exception is not caught, the agent will stop executing. If you want the agent to continue execution, you can raise a ToolException and set handle_tool_error accordingly.

When ToolException is thrown, the agent will not stop working, but will handle the exception according to the handle_tool_error variable of the tool, and the processing result will be returned to the agent as observation, and printed in red.

You can set handle_tool_error to True, set it a unified string value, or set it as a function. If it's set as a function, the function should take a ToolException as a parameter and return a str value.

Please note that only raising a ToolException won't be effective. You need to first set the handle_tool_error of the tool because its default value is False.

from langchain.schema import ToolException

from langchain import SerpAPIWrapper
from langchain.agents import AgentType, initialize_agent
from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI
from langchain.tools import Tool

    return (
        "The following errors occurred during tool execution:"
        + error.args[0]
        + "Please try another tool."
    )


def search_tool1(s: str):
    raise ToolException("The search tool1 is not available.")


def search_tool2(s: str):
    raise ToolException("The search tool2 is not available.")


search_tool3 = SerpAPIWrapper()
