# ToolACE (tool-calling conversations) A cleaned-up mirror of the ToolACE function-calling corpus. Every line of `data/train.jsonl` is one JSON object describing a full conversation. ## Entry format - `messages`: list of turns. - The first message is always a `system` message with boilerplate about how to use tools (the tool definitions themselves are NOT embedded there). - Assistant messages that invoke tools carry `tool_calls`: a list of `{id, type: "function", function: {name, arguments}}` objects, where `arguments` is already a JSON object (not a string). - Tool results come back as `{role: "tool", tool_call_id, content}` messages, where `tool_call_id` references the originating call. - `tools`: list of tool definitions, each with `name`, `description` and `parameters`. `parameters` is an object with `type` (`dict` for object containers), `properties` (parameter name -> `{type, description}` plus an optional `default`) and `required`. Parameter types use the short spellings `str`, `int`, `float`, `bool`, `list`, `dict`. ## Files - `data/train.jsonl` - all examples. Total examples: 30
