defmodule AI.Tools do @moduledoc """ This module defines the behaviour for tool calls. Defining a new tool requires implementing the `spec/0` and `call/2` functions. The `spec/0` function should return a map that describes the tool's capabilities and arguments, using a map to represent the OpenAPI spec. The `call/2` function generates the tool call response. It accepts the requesting `AI.Completion`'s struct and a map derived from the parsed JSON provided by the agent, containing the tool call arguments. Note that, because the arguments are parsed from JSON, the keys will all be strings. Whether those are converted to symbols is between the tool implementation and the code it calls. What happens behind closed APIs is none of MY business. ## Skeleton Implementation ```elixir defmodule AI.Tools.MyNewTool do @behaviour AI.Tools @impl AI.Tools def async?(), do: true @impl AI.Tools def ui_note_on_request(_args) do {"Doing something", "This tool is doing something."} end @impl AI.Tools def ui_note_on_result(_args, _result) do {"Did something", "This tool did something."} end @impl AI.Tools def read_args(args) do {:ok, args} end @impl AI.Tools def spec() do %{ type: "function", function: %{ name: "something_tool", description: "This tool does something.", strict: true, parameters: %{ additionalProperties: false, type: "object", required: ["thing"], properties: %{ thing: %{ type: "string", description: "The thing to do." } } } } } end @impl AI.Tools def call(args) do {:ok, "IMPLEMENT ME"} end end ``` """ @type tool_spec :: %{ :type => binary, :function => %{ :name => binary, :description => binary, optional(:strict) => boolean, :parameters => %{ optional(:additionalProperties) => boolean, :type => binary, :required => [binary], :properties => %{ binary => %{ :type => binary, :description => binary, optional(:default) => any } } } } } @type tool_name :: binary @type project_name :: binary | nil @type unparsed_args :: binary @type parsed_args :: %{binary => any} | %{atom => any} @type toolbox :: %{binary => module} @type tool_error :: {:error, binary} @type unknown_tool_error :: {:error, :unknown_tool, binary} @type missing_arg_error :: {:error, :missing_argument, binary} @type invalid_arg_error :: {:error, :invalid_argument, binary} @type args_error :: missing_arg_error | invalid_arg_error @type frob_error :: {:error, non_neg_integer, binary} @type json_parse_error :: {:error, Jason.DecodeError.t()} @type tool_result :: {:ok, binary} | unknown_tool_error | args_error | tool_error | frob_error @type raw_tool_result :: :ok | {:ok, any} | {:error, any} | :error | args_error | frob_error @doc """ Returns true if the tool is asynchronous, false otherwise.
