LangChain offers a context manager that allows you to count tokens.
from langchain.callbacks import get_openai_callback
llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)
with get_openai_callback() as cb:
    llm("What is the square root of 4?")
total_tokens = cb.total_tokens
assert total_tokens > 0
with get_openai_callback() as cb:
    llm("What is the square root of 4?")
    llm("What is the square root of 4?")
assert cb.total_tokens == total_tokens * 2
# You can kick off concurrent runs from within the context manager
with get_openai_callback() as cb:


with get_openai_callback() as cb:
    await asyncio.gather(
        *[llm.agenerate(["What is the square root of 4?"]) for _ in range(3)]
    )
assert cb.total_tokens == total_tokens * 3
# The context manager is concurrency safe

Getting Started
Getting Started#
Agents use an LLM to determine which actions to take and in what order.
An action can either be using a tool and observing its output, or returning to the user.
When used correctly agents can be extremely powerful. The purpose of this notebook is to show you how to easily use agents through the simplest, highest level API.
In order to load agents, you should understand the following concepts:
Tool: A function that performs a specific duty. This can be things like: Google Search, Database lookup, Python REPL, other chains. The interface for a tool is currently a function that is expected to have a string as an input, with a string as an output.
LLM: The language model powering the agent.
Agent: The agent to use. This should be a string that references a support agent class. Because this notebook focuses on the simplest, highest level API, this only covers using the standard supported agents. If you want to implement a custom agent, see the documentation for custom agents.
Agents: For a list of supported agents and their specifications, see here.
Tools: For a list of predefined tools and their specifications, see here.
from langchain.agents import load_tools
from langchain.agents import initialize_agent
from langchain.agents import AgentType
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
First, let’s load the language model we’re going to use to control the agent.
llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)
Next, let’s load some tools to use. Note that the llm-math tool uses an LLM, so we need to pass that in.
tools = load_tools(["serpapi", "llm-math"], llm=llm)
Finally, let’s initialize an agent with the tools, the language model, and the type of agent we want to use.


agent = initialize_agent(tools, llm, agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION, verbose=True)
Now let’s test it out!
agent.run("Who is Leo DiCaprio's girlfriend? What is her current age raised to the 0.43 power?")

Plan and Execute#
Plan and execute agents accomplish an objective by first planning what to do, then executing the sub tasks. This idea is largely inspired by BabyAGI and then the “Plan-and-Solve” paper.
The planning is almost always done by an LLM.
The execution is usually done by a separate agent (equipped with tools).

'3 times 4 is 12'
Multi-Input Tools with a string format#
An alternative to the structured tool would be to use the regular Tool class and accept a single string. The tool would then have to handle the parsing logic to extract the relavent values from the text, which tightly couples the tool representation to the agent prompt. This is still useful if the underlying language model can’t reliabl generate structured schema.
Let’s take the multiplication function as an example. In order to use this, we will tell the agent to generate the “Action Input” as a comma-separated list of length two. We will then write a thin wrapper that takes a string, splits it into two around a comma, and passes both parsed sides as integers to the multiplication function.
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, Tool
from langchain.agents import AgentType
Here is the multiplication function, as well as a wrapper to parse a string as input.
def multiplier(a, b):
    return a * b
def parsing_multiplier(string):
    a, b = string.split(",")
    return multiplier(int(a), int(b))
llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)

    Tool(
        name = "Multiplier",

Handling Tool Errors
Defining Custom Tools#
When constructing your own agent, you will need to provide it with a list of Tools that it can use. Besides the actual function that is called, the Tool consists of several components:
name (str), is required and must be unique within a set of tools provided to an agent
description (str), is optional but recommended, as it is used by an agent to determine tool use
return_direct (bool), defaults to False
args_schema (Pydantic BaseModel), is optional but recommended, can be used to provide more information (e.g., few-shot examples) or validation for expected parameters.
There are two main ways to define a tool, we will cover both in the example below.
# 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#


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?")

> Finished chain.
"Camila Morrone's current age raised to the 0.43 power is approximately 3.99."
Subclassing the BaseTool class#


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#


> Finished chain.
'3.547023357958959'
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


"""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."""


"""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...
I need to find out Leo DiCaprio's girlfriend's name and her age.
Action: Google Search
Action Input: "Leo DiCaprio girlfriend"
Observation: After rumours of a romance with Gigi Hadid, the Oscar winner has seemingly moved on. First being linked to the television personality in September 2022, it appears as if his "age bracket" has moved up. This follows his rumoured relationship with mere 19-year-old Eden Polani.
Thought:I still need to find out his current girlfriend's name and her age.
Action: Google Search


Action: Google Search
Action Input: "Leo DiCaprio current girlfriend age"
Observation: Leonardo DiCaprio has been linked with 19-year-old model Eden Polani, continuing the rumour that he doesn't date any women over the age of ...
Thought:I need to find out the age of Eden Polani.
Action: Calculator
Action Input: 19^(0.43)
Observation: Answer: 3.547023357958959
Thought:I now know the final answer.
Final Answer: The age of Leo DiCaprio's girlfriend raised to the 0.43 power is approximately 3.55.
> Finished 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,


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)


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
from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI
def _handle_error(error:ToolException) -> str:
    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()
description="useful for when you need to answer questions about current events.You should give priority to using it."
tools = [
    Tool.from_function(
        func=search_tool1,
        name="Search_tool1",
        description=description,
        handle_tool_error=True,
    ),
    Tool.from_function(
        func=search_tool2,
        name="Search_tool2",
        description=description,
        handle_tool_error=_handle_error,
    ),
    Tool.from_function(
        func=search_tool3.run,
        name="Search_tool3",
        description="useful for when you need to answer questions about current events",
    ),
]
agent = initialize_agent(
    tools,
    ChatOpenAI(temperature=0),
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    verbose=True,
)

List of Tools
Getting Started#
Tools are functions that agents can use to interact with the world.
These tools can be generic utilities (e.g. search), other chains, or even other agents.
Currently, tools can be loaded with the following snippet:
from langchain.agents import load_tools
tool_names = [...]
tools = load_tools(tool_names)
Some tools (e.g. chains, agents) may require a base LLM to use to initialize them.
In that case, you can pass in an LLM as well:
from langchain.agents import load_tools
tool_names = [...]
llm = ...
tools = load_tools(tool_names, llm=llm)
Below is a list of all supported tools and relevant information:
Tool Name: The name the LLM refers to the tool by.
Tool Description: The description of the tool that is passed to the LLM.
Notes: Notes about the tool that are NOT passed to the LLM.
Requires LLM: Whether this tool requires an LLM to be initialized.
(Optional) Extra Parameters: What extra parameters are required to initialize this tool.
List of Tools#

Zapier Natural Language Actions API

Zapier Natural Language Actions API
Example with Agent
Example with SimpleSequentialChain
Zapier Natural Language Actions API#
Full docs here: https://nla.zapier.com/api/v1/docs
Zapier Natural Language Actions gives you access to the 5k+ apps, 20k+ actions on Zapier’s platform through a natural language API interface.
NLA supports apps like Gmail, Salesforce, Trello, Slack, Asana, HubSpot, Google Sheets, Microsoft Teams, and thousands more apps: https://zapier.com/apps
Zapier NLA handles ALL the underlying API auth and translation from natural language –> underlying API call –> return simplified output for LLMs. The key idea is you, or your users, expose a set of actions via an oauth-like setup window, which you can then query and execute via a REST API.
NLA offers both API Key and OAuth for signing NLA API requests.
Server-side (API Key): for quickly getting started, testing, and production scenarios where LangChain will only use actions exposed in the developer’s Zapier account (and will use the developer’s connected accounts on Zapier.com)
User-facing (Oauth): for production scenarios where you are deploying an end-user facing application and LangChain needs access to end-user’s exposed actions and connected accounts on Zapier.com
This quick start will focus on the server-side use case for brevity. Review full docs or reach out to nla@zapier.com for user-facing oauth developer support.
This example goes over how to use the Zapier integration with a SimpleSequentialChain, then an Agent.
In code, below:
import os
# get from https://platform.openai.com/
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "")


os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "")
# get from https://nla.zapier.com/demo/provider/debug (under User Information, after logging in):
os.environ["ZAPIER_NLA_API_KEY"] = os.environ.get("ZAPIER_NLA_API_KEY", "")
Example with Agent#
Zapier tools can be used with an agent. See the example below.
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
from langchain.agents import initialize_agent
from langchain.agents.agent_toolkits import ZapierToolkit
from langchain.agents import AgentType
from langchain.utilities.zapier import ZapierNLAWrapper
## step 0. expose gmail 'find email' and slack 'send channel message' actions
# first go here, log in, expose (enable) the two actions: https://nla.zapier.com/demo/start -- for this example, can leave all fields "Have AI guess"
# in an oauth scenario, you'd get your own <provider> id (instead of 'demo') which you route your users through first
llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)
zapier = ZapierNLAWrapper()
toolkit = ZapierToolkit.from_zapier_nla_wrapper(zapier)
agent = initialize_agent(toolkit.get_tools(), llm, agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION, verbose=True)
agent.run("Summarize the last email I received regarding Silicon Valley Bank. Send the summary to the #test-zapier channel in slack.")
> Entering new AgentExecutor chain...

Example with SimpleSequentialChain#
If you need more explicit control, use a chain, like below.
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
from langchain.chains import LLMChain, TransformChain, SimpleSequentialChain
from langchain.prompts import PromptTemplate
from langchain.tools.zapier.tool import ZapierNLARunAction


from langchain.tools.zapier.tool import ZapierNLARunAction

# first go here, log in, expose (enable) the two actions: https://nla.zapier.com/demo/start -- for this example, can leave all fields "Have AI guess"
# in an oauth scenario, you'd get your own <provider> id (instead of 'demo') which you route your users through first
actions = ZapierNLAWrapper().list()
## step 1. gmail find email
GMAIL_SEARCH_INSTRUCTIONS = "Grab the latest email from Silicon Valley Bank"
def nla_gmail(inputs):
    action = next((a for a in actions if a["description"].startswith("Gmail: Find Email")), None)
    return {"email_data": ZapierNLARunAction(action_id=action["id"], zapier_description=action["description"], params_schema=action["params"]).run(inputs["instructions"])}
gmail_chain = TransformChain(input_variables=["instructions"], output_variables=["email_data"], transform=nla_gmail)
## step 2. generate draft reply
template = """You are an assisstant who drafts replies to an incoming email. Output draft reply in plain text (not JSON).
Incoming email:
{email_data}
Draft email reply:"""
prompt_template = PromptTemplate(input_variables=["email_data"], template=template)
reply_chain = LLMChain(llm=OpenAI(temperature=.7), prompt=prompt_template)
## step 3. send draft reply via a slack direct message
SLACK_HANDLE = "@Ankush Gola"
def nla_slack(inputs):


SLACK_HANDLE = "@Ankush Gola"
def nla_slack(inputs):
    action = next((a for a in actions if a["description"].startswith("Slack: Send Direct Message")), None)
    instructions = f'Send this to {SLACK_HANDLE} in Slack: {inputs["draft_reply"]}'
    return {"slack_data": ZapierNLARunAction(action_id=action["id"], zapier_description=action["description"], params_schema=action["params"]).run(instructions)}
slack_chain = TransformChain(input_variables=["draft_reply"], output_variables=["slack_data"], transform=nla_slack)

File System Tools

The FileManagementToolkit
Selecting File System Tools
File System Tools#
LangChain provides tools for interacting with a local file system out of the box. This notebook walks through some of them.
Note: these tools are not recommended for use outside a sandboxed environment!
First, we’ll import the tools.
from langchain.tools.file_management import (
    ReadFileTool,
    CopyFileTool,
    DeleteFileTool,
    MoveFileTool,
    WriteFileTool,
    ListDirectoryTool,
)
from langchain.agents.agent_toolkits import FileManagementToolkit
from tempfile import TemporaryDirectory
# We'll make a temporary directory to avoid clutter
working_directory = TemporaryDirectory()
The FileManagementToolkit#
If you want to provide all the file tooling to your agent, it’s easy to do so with the toolkit. We’ll pass the temporary directory in as a root directory as a workspace for the LLM.
It’s recommended to always pass in a root directory, since without one, it’s easy for the LLM to pollute the working directory, and without one, there isn’t any validation against
straightforward prompt injection.
toolkit = FileManagementToolkit(root_dir=str(working_directory.name)) # If you don't provide a root_dir, operations will default to the current working directory
toolkit.get_tools()


toolkit.get_tools()
[CopyFileTool(name='copy_file', description='Create a copy of a file in a specified location', args_schema=<class 'langchain.tools.file_management.copy.FileCopyInput'>, return_direct=False, verbose=False, callback_manager=<langchain.callbacks.shared.SharedCallbackManager object at 0x1156f4350>, root_dir='/var/folders/gf/6rnp_mbx5914kx7qmmh7xzmw0000gn/T/tmpxb8c3aug'),

Selecting File System Tools#
If you only want to select certain tools, you can pass them in as arguments when initializing the toolkit, or you can individually initialize the desired tools.
tools = FileManagementToolkit(root_dir=str(working_directory.name), selected_tools=["read_file", "write_file", "list_directory"]).get_tools()
tools
[ReadFileTool(name='read_file', description='Read file from disk', args_schema=<class 'langchain.tools.file_management.read.ReadFileInput'>, return_direct=False, verbose=False, callback_manager=<langchain.callbacks.shared.SharedCallbackManager object at 0x1156f4350>, root_dir='/var/folders/gf/6rnp_mbx5914kx7qmmh7xzmw0000gn/T/tmpxb8c3aug'),

Python REPL
Python REPL#
Sometimes, for complex calculations, rather than have an LLM generate the answer directly, it can be better to have the LLM generate code to calculate the answer, and then run that code to get the answer. In order to easily do that, we provide a simple Python REPL to execute commands in.
This interface will only return things that are printed - therefore, if you want to use it to calculate an answer, make sure to have it print out the answer.
from langchain.agents import Tool
from langchain.utilities import PythonREPL
python_repl = PythonREPL()
python_repl.run("print(1+1)")

Shell Tool
 Contents
Use with Agents
Shell Tool#
Giving agents access to the shell is powerful (though risky outside a sandboxed environment).
The LLM can use it to execute any shell commands. A common use case for this is letting the LLM interact with your local file system.
from langchain.tools import ShellTool
shell_tool = ShellTool()
print(shell_tool.run({"commands": ["echo 'Hello World!'", "time"]}))
Hello World!

  warnings.warn(
Use with Agents#
As with all tools, these can be given to an agent to accomplish more complex tasks. Let’s have the agent fetch some links from a web page.
from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI
from langchain.agents import initialize_agent
from langchain.agents import AgentType
llm = ChatOpenAI(temperature=0)
shell_tool.description = shell_tool.description + f"args {shell_tool.args}".replace("{", "{{").replace("}", "}}")
self_ask_with_search = initialize_agent([shell_tool], llm, agent=AgentType.CHAT_ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION, verbose=True)
self_ask_with_search.run("Download the langchain.com webpage and grep for all urls. Return only a sorted list of them. Be sure to use double quotes.")

GraphQL tool
GraphQL tool#
This Jupyter Notebook demonstrates how to use the BaseGraphQLTool component with an Agent.
GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for executing those queries against your data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.
By including a BaseGraphQLTool in the list of tools provided to an Agent, you can grant your Agent the ability to query data from GraphQL APIs for any purposes you need.
In this example, we’ll be using the public Star Wars GraphQL API available at the following endpoint: https://swapi-graphql.netlify.app/.netlify/functions/index.
First, you need to install httpx and gql Python packages.
pip install httpx gql > /dev/null
Now, let’s create a BaseGraphQLTool instance with the specified Star Wars API endpoint and initialize an Agent with the tool.
from langchain import OpenAI
from langchain.agents import load_tools, initialize_agent, AgentType
from langchain.utilities import GraphQLAPIWrapper
llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)
tools = load_tools(["graphql"], graphql_endpoint="https://swapi-graphql.netlify.app/.netlify/functions/index", llm=llm)
agent = initialize_agent(tools, llm, agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION, verbose=True)
Now, we can use the Agent to run queries against the Star Wars GraphQL API. Let’s ask the Agent to list all the Star Wars films and their release dates.
graphql_fields = """allFilms {
    films {
      title
      director
      releaseDate
      speciesConnection {
        species {
          name
          classification
          homeworld {
            name
          }


species {
          name
          classification
          homeworld {
            name
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
"""
suffix = "Search for the titles of all the stawars films stored in the graphql database that has this schema "
agent.run(suffix + graphql_fields)
> Entering new AgentExecutor chain...
 I need to query the graphql database to get the titles of all the star wars films
Action: query_graphql
Action Input: query { allFilms { films { title } } }
Observation: "{\n  \"allFilms\": {\n    \"films\": [\n      {\n        \"title\": \"A New Hope\"\n      },\n      {\n        \"title\": \"The Empire Strikes Back\"\n      },\n      {\n        \"title\": \"Return of the Jedi\"\n      },\n      {\n        \"title\": \"The Phantom Menace\"\n      },\n      {\n        \"title\": \"Attack of the Clones\"\n      },\n      {\n        \"title\": \"Revenge of the Sith\"\n      }\n    ]\n  }\n}"
Thought: I now know the titles of all the star wars films
Final Answer: The titles of all the star wars films are: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith.

Apify
Apify#
This notebook shows how to use the Apify integration for LangChain.
Apify is a cloud platform for web scraping and data extraction,
which provides an ecosystem of more than a thousand
ready-made apps called Actors for various web scraping, crawling, and data extraction use cases.
For example, you can use it to extract Google Search results, Instagram and Facebook profiles, products from Amazon or Shopify, Google Maps reviews, etc. etc.
In this example, we’ll use the Website Content Crawler Actor,
which can deeply crawl websites such as documentation, knowledge bases, help centers, or blogs,
and extract text content from the web pages. Then we feed the documents into a vector index and answer questions from it.
#!pip install apify-client
First, import ApifyWrapper into your source code:
from langchain.document_loaders.base import Document
from langchain.indexes import VectorstoreIndexCreator
from langchain.utilities import ApifyWrapper
Initialize it using your Apify API token and for the purpose of this example, also with your OpenAI API key:
import os
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "Your OpenAI API key"
os.environ["APIFY_API_TOKEN"] = "Your Apify API token"
apify = ApifyWrapper()
Then run the Actor, wait for it to finish, and fetch its results from the Apify dataset into a LangChain document loader.
Note that if you already have some results in an Apify dataset, you can load them directly using ApifyDatasetLoader, as shown in this notebook. In that notebook, you’ll also find the explanation of the dataset_mapping_function, which is used to map fields from the Apify dataset records to LangChain Document fields.
loader = apify.call_actor(
    actor_id="apify/website-content-crawler",


loader = apify.call_actor(
    actor_id="apify/website-content-crawler",
    run_input={"startUrls": [{"url": "https://python.langchain.com/en/latest/"}]},
    dataset_mapping_function=lambda item: Document(
        page_content=item["text"] or "", metadata={"source": item["url"]}
    ),
)
Initialize the vector index from the crawled documents:
index = VectorstoreIndexCreator().from_loaders([loader])
And finally, query the vector index:
query = "What is LangChain?"
result = index.query_with_sources(query)
print(result["answer"])
print(result["sources"])
 LangChain is a standard interface through which you can interact with a variety of large language models (LLMs). It provides modules that can be used to build language model applications, and it also provides chains and agents with memory capabilities.

Twilio#
This notebook goes over how to use the Twilio API wrapper to send a text message.
Setup#
To use this tool you need to install the Python Twilio package twilio
# !pip install twilio
You’ll also need to set up a Twilio account and get your credentials. You’ll need your Account String Identifier (SID) and your Auth Token. You’ll also need a number to send messages from.
You can either pass these in to the TwilioAPIWrapper as named parameters account_sid, auth_token, from_number, or you can set the environment variables TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID, TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN, TWILIO_FROM_NUMBER.
Sending a message#
from langchain.utilities.twilio import TwilioAPIWrapper
twilio = TwilioAPIWrapper(
#     account_sid="foo",
#     auth_token="bar",
#     from_number="baz,"

SearxNG Search API

Custom Parameters
Obtaining results with metadata
SearxNG Search API#
This notebook goes over how to use a self hosted SearxNG search API to search the web.
You can check this link for more informations about Searx API parameters.
import pprint
from langchain.utilities import SearxSearchWrapper
search = SearxSearchWrapper(searx_host="http://127.0.0.1:8888")
For some engines, if a direct answer is available the warpper will print the answer instead of the full list of search results. You can use the results method of the wrapper if you want to obtain all the results.
search.run("What is the capital of France")
'Paris is the capital of France, the largest country of Europe with 550 000 km2 (65 millions inhabitants). Paris has 2.234 million inhabitants end 2011. She is the core of Ile de France region (12 million people).'
Custom Parameters#
SearxNG supports up to 139 search engines. You can also customize the Searx wrapper with arbitrary named parameters that will be passed to the Searx search API . In the below example we will making a more interesting use of custom search parameters from searx search api.
In this example we will be using the engines parameters to query wikipedia
search = SearxSearchWrapper(searx_host="http://127.0.0.1:8888", k=5) # k is for max number of items
search.run("large language model ", engines=['wiki'])


search.run("large language model ", engines=['wiki'])
'Large language models (LLMs) represent a major advancement in AI, with the promise of transforming domains through learned knowledge. LLM sizes have been increasing 10X every year for the last few years, and as these models grow in complexity and size, so do their capabilities.\n\nGPT-3 can translate language, write essays, generate computer code, and more — all with limited to no supervision. In July 2020, OpenAI unveiled GPT-3, a language model that was easily the largest known at the time. Put simply, GPT-3 is trained to predict the next word in a sentence, much like how a text message autocomplete feature works.\n\nA large language model, or LLM, is a deep learning algorithm that can recognize, summarize, translate, predict and generate text and other content based on knowledge gained from massive datasets. Large language models are among the most successful applications of transformer models.\n\nAll of today’s well-known language models—e.g., GPT-3 from OpenAI, PaLM or LaMDA from Google, Galactica or OPT from Meta, Megatron-Turing from Nvidia/Microsoft, Jurassic-1 from AI21 Labs—are...\n\nLarge language models (LLMs) such as GPT-3are increasingly being used to generate text. These tools should be used with care, since they can generate content that is biased, non-verifiable, constitutes original research, or violates copyrights.'
Passing other Searx parameters for searx like language
search = SearxSearchWrapper(searx_host="http://127.0.0.1:8888", k=1)
search.run("deep learning", language='es', engines=['wiki'])


search.run("deep learning", language='es', engines=['wiki'])

Obtaining results with metadata#
In this example we will be looking for scientific paper using the categories parameter and limiting the results to a time_range (not all engines support the time range option).
We also would like to obtain the results in a structured way including metadata. For this we will be using the results method of the wrapper.
