# {:ok, f} = LangChain.Function.new(%{name: "register_person", description: "Register a new person in the system", required: ["name"], parameters: [p_name, p_age]}) # NOTE: New in OpenAI - https://openai.com/blog/function-calling-and-other-api-updates # - 13 June 2023 # NOTE: Pretty much takes the place of a LangChain "Tool". defmodule LangChain.Function do @moduledoc """ Defines a "function" that can be provided to an LLM for the LLM to optionally execute and pass argument data to. A function is defined using a schema. * `name` - The name of the function given to the LLM. * `description` - A description of the function provided to the LLM. This should describe what the function is used for or what it returns. This information is used by the LLM to decide which function to call and for what purpose. * ` parameters` - A list of `Function.FunctionParam` structs that are converted to a JSONSchema format. (Use in place of `parameters_schema`) * ` parameters_schema` - A [JSONSchema structure](https://json-schema.org/learn/getting-started-step-by-step.html) that describes the required data structure format for how arguments are passed to the function. (Use if greater control or unsupported features are needed.) * `function` - An Elixir function to execute when an LLM requests to execute the function. When passing arguments from an LLM to a function, they go through a single `map` argument. This allows for multiple keys or named parameters. ## Example This example defines a function that an LLM can execute for performing basic math calculations. **NOTE:** This is a partial implementation of the `LangChain.Tools.Calculator`. Function.new(%{ name: "calculator", description: "Perform basic math calculations", parameters_schema: %{ type: "object", properties: %{ expression: %{type: "string", description: "A simple mathematical expression."} }, required: ["expression"] }, function: fn(%{"expression" => expr} = _args, _context) -> "Uh... I don't know!" end) }) The `function` attribute is an Elixir function that can be executed when the function is "called" by the LLM. The `args` argument is the JSON data passed by the LLM after being parsed to a map. The `context` argument is passed through as the `context` on a `LangChain.Chains.LLMChain`. This is whatever context data is needed for the function to do it's work. Context examples may be user_id, account_id, account struct, billing level, etc. ## Function Parameters The `parameters` field is a list of `LangChain.FunctionParam` structs. This is a convenience for defining the parameters to the function. If it does not work for more complex use-cases, then use the `parameters_schema` to declare it as needed. The `parameters_schema` is an Elixir map that follows a [JSONSchema](https://json-schema.org/learn/getting-started-step-by-step.html) structure. It is used to define the required data structure format for receiving data to the function from the LLM. NOTE: Only use `parameters` or `parameters_schema`, not both. ## Expanded Parameter Examples Function with no arguments: alias LangChain.Function Function.new!(%{name: "get_current_user_info"}) Function that takes a simple required argument: alias LangChain.FunctionParam Function.new!(%{name: "set_user_name", parameters: [ FunctionParam.new!(%{name: "user_name", type: :string, required: true}) ]}) Function that takes an array of strings: Function.new!(%{name: "set_tags", parameters: [ FunctionParam.new!(%{name: "tags", type: :array, item_type: "string"}) ]}) Function that takes two arguments and one is an object/map: Function.new!(%{name: "update_preferences", parameters: [ FunctionParam.new!(%{name: "unique_code", type: :string, required: true}) FunctionParam.new!(%{name: "data", type: :object, object_properties: [ FunctionParam.new!(%{name: "auto_complete_email", type: :boolean}), FunctionParam.new!(%{name: "items_per_page", type: :integer}), ]}) ]}) The `LangChain.FunctionParam` is nestable allowing for arrays of object and objects with nested objects.
