langchain_core.tools.Tool

class langchain_core.tools.Tool[source]

Bases: BaseTool

Tool that takes in function or coroutine directly.

Initialize tool.

param args_schema: Optional[Type[pydantic.main.BaseModel]] = None

Pydantic model class to validate and parse the tool’s input arguments.

param callback_manager: Optional[langchain_core.callbacks.base.BaseCallbackManager] = None

Deprecated. Please use callbacks instead.

param callbacks: Optional[Union[List[langchain_core.callbacks.base.BaseCallbackHandler], langchain_core.callbacks.base.BaseCallbackManager]] = None

Callbacks to be called during tool execution.

param coroutine: Optional[Callable[[...], Awaitable[str]]] = None

The asynchronous version of the function.

param description: str = ''

Used to tell the model how/when/why to use the tool.

You can provide few-shot examples as a part of the description.

param func: Optional[Callable[[...], str]] = None

The function to run when the tool is called.

param handle_tool_error: Optional[Union[bool, str, Callable[[langchain_core.tools.ToolException], str]]] = False

Handle the content of the ToolException thrown.

param metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None

Optional metadata associated with the tool. Defaults to None This metadata will be associated with each call to this tool, and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks. You can use these to eg identify a specific instance of a tool with its use case.

param return_direct: bool = False

Whether to return the tool’s output directly. Setting this to True means

that after the tool is called, the AgentExecutor will stop looping.

param tags: Optional[List[str]] = None

Optional list of tags associated with the tool. Defaults to None These tags will be associated with each call to this tool, and passed as arguments to the handlers defined in callbacks. You can use these to eg identify a specific instance of a tool with its use case.

param verbose: bool = False

Whether to log the tool’s progress.

__call__(tool_input: str, callbacks: Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]] = None) → str

Make tool callable.

async abatch(inputs: List[Input], config: Optional[Union[RunnableConfig, List[RunnableConfig]]] = None, *, return_exceptions: bool = False, **kwargs: Optional[Any]) → List[Output]

Default implementation runs ainvoke in parallel using asyncio.gather.

The default implementation of batch works well for IO bound runnables.

Subclasses should override this method if they can batch more efficiently; e.g., if the underlying runnable uses an API which supports a batch mode.

async ainvoke(input: Union[str, Dict], config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None, **kwargs: Any) → Any[source]

Default implementation of ainvoke, calls invoke from a thread.

The default implementation allows usage of async code even if the runnable did not implement a native async version of invoke.

Subclasses should override this method if they can run asynchronously.

async arun(tool_input: Union[str, Dict], verbose: Optional[bool] = None, start_color: Optional[str] = 'green', color: Optional[str] = 'green', callbacks: Optional[Union[List[BaseCallbackHandler], BaseCallbackManager]] = None, *, tags: Optional[List[str]] = None, metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, run_name: Optional[str] = None, **kwargs: Any) → Any

Run the tool asynchronously.

assign(**kwargs: Union[Runnable[Dict[str, Any], Any], Callable[[Dict[str, Any]], Any], Mapping[str, Union[Runnable[Dict[str, Any], Any], Callable[[Dict[str, Any]], Any]]]]) → RunnableSerializable[Any, Any]

Assigns new fields to the dict output of this runnable. Returns a new runnable.

async astream(input: Input, config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None, **kwargs: Optional[Any]) → AsyncIterator[Output]

Default implementation of astream, which calls ainvoke. Subclasses should override this method if they support streaming output.

async astream_log(input: Any, config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None, *, diff: bool = True, with_streamed_output_list: bool = True, include_names: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, include_types: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, include_tags: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, exclude_names: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, exclude_types: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, exclude_tags: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, **kwargs: Optional[Any]) → Union[AsyncIterator[RunLogPatch], AsyncIterator[RunLog]]

Stream all output from a runnable, as reported to the callback system. This includes all inner runs of LLMs, Retrievers, Tools, etc.

Output is streamed as Log objects, which include a list of jsonpatch ops that describe how the state of the run has changed in each step, and the final state of the run.

The jsonpatch ops can be applied in order to construct state.

Parameters

  • input – The input to the runnable.

  • config – The config to use for the runnable.

  • diff – Whether to yield diffs between each step, or the current state.

  • with_streamed_output_list – Whether to yield the streamed_output list.

  • include_names – Only include logs with these names.

  • include_types – Only include logs with these types.

  • include_tags – Only include logs with these tags.

  • exclude_names – Exclude logs with these names.

  • exclude_types – Exclude logs with these types.

  • exclude_tags – Exclude logs with these tags.

async atransform(input: AsyncIterator[Input], config: Optional[RunnableConfig] = None, **kwargs: Optional[Any]) → AsyncIterator[Output]

Default implementation of atransform, which buffers input and calls astream. Subclasses should override this method if they can start producing output while input is still being generated.

batch(inputs: List[Input], config: Optional[Union[RunnableConfig, List[RunnableConfig]]] = None, *, return_exceptions: bool = False, **kwargs: Optional[Any]) → List[Output]

Default implementation runs invoke in parallel using a thread pool executor.

The default implementation of batch works well for IO bound runnables.

Subclasses should override this method if they can batch more efficiently; e.g., if the underlying runnable uses an API which supports a batch mode.

bind(**kwargs: Any) → Runnable[Input, Output]

Bind arguments to a Runnable, returning a new Runnable.

config_schema(*, include: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None) → Type[BaseModel]

The type of config this runnable accepts specified as a pydantic model.

To mark a field as configurable, see the configurable_fields and configurable_alternatives methods.

Parameters

Returns

A pydantic model that can be used to validate config.

classmethod construct(_fields_set: Optional[SetStr] = None, **values: Any) → Model

Creates a new model setting __dict__ and __fields_set__ from trusted or pre-validated data. Default values are respected, but no other validation is performed. Behaves as if Config.extra = ‘allow’ was set since it adds all passed values

Parameters

  • include – fields to include in new model

Returns

new model instance
