[Solved ✅] Local tools not working

[hot stump]

I was going through the guide for creating local tools but it looks like the examples are broken. Following the Readme doesn't work (terminal hangs up when running the examples)

I tried the sql_agent

Hey @hot stump, Could you say me what error you exactly got??

[peak night]

Hey, yes the docs have not been updated. Doing it today.

Thanks for reporting.

[hot stump]

Hey, sorry for the late reply. There was no error but either the terminal got stuck when I ran the main.py file or the process got killed automatically and did not start

[hot stump]

Yes, I think the docs are a bit behind. Thanks for your support

[hot stump]

turns out it was an issue with pyenv, reinstalling pyenv solved that. Now I tried to create my own local tool but facing import issues in the examples folder (because the new tool is not present in the installed composio package).
Please point me to any resources on this 🙏🏻

Hey @hot stump , if I may ask what kind of tool are you working on?

[hot stump]

sql tool for postgres

[peak night]

can you give me 2 hours, we have made this really really easy and revamped the whole thing. I will update the docs.

[hot stump]

sure

appreciate the fast replies 👍

[peak night]

Thanks a lot. Basically, it's going to be a literal python function. Something pretty cool.

Thanks.

[hot stump]

Sounds dope

[hot stump]

@peak night The docs are still the same, have you published your changes yet?

[peak night]

https://docs.composio.dev/introduction/foundations/components/local_tools

[peak night]

I published the new local tools process.

[hot stump]

oh didn't see this one

[peak night]

Just published. 😅

[hot stump]

🙂

k, thx

[hot stump]

I'm still not sure how to intgerate the tool into any example 😦

[finite sedge]

Just import the action from your custom tool:

from composio import action
from custom_tools import say

composio_toolset = ComposioToolSet()

# Get required tools
tools = [
  *composio_toolset.get_actions(
      actions=[
          say,  # This is an example of a custom tool
      ]
  ),
]

And add tools in your preferred framework (if taking crewAI as an example):

crewai_agent = Agent(
    role="Github Agent",
    goal="""You take action on Github using Github APIs""",
    backstory=(
        "You are AI agent that is responsible for taking actions on Github "
        "on users behalf. You need to take action on Github using Github APIs"
    ),
    verbose=True,
    tools=tools, # add here
    llm=llm,
)

In this, the say() action takes a string param called message, can I pass any params to this action or does it have to be just message?

[finite sedge]

It's totally up to you, just don't forget to give the correct type 🙌

[hot stump]

I think the docstring is required, that's giving me an exception

[finite sedge]

Yes, it tells what your action is about 🙂

[hot stump]

I'm getting this validation error when trying to create an agent using crewAI

  Value error, 1 validation error for CrewAgentExecutor
tools -> 0
  Can't instantiate abstract class BaseTool with abstract method _run (type=type_error) [type=value_error, input_value={'role': 'Query Executor ...***'), openai_proxy='')}, input_type=dict]```

looks like the custom tools have some implementation issue?

or am I missing something?

[peak night]

Just checking.

Yes doc string is required because agent uses the docstring information to decide if the tool should be called or not. You basically need to add description around the tool using the doc string. I will add it to the doc.

[peak night]

Confirming the bug does exist. Thanks for pointing out.

[hot stump]

This is the longest I've spent on an assignment 🫠

[peak night]

Please just submit your code even if it's not working. I had no idea you were on assignment. We have been refactoring the local tools recently.

[hot stump]

oh lol

ok

[peak night]

Hey, this has been corrected btw. Please use the latest version of the SDK.

[hot stump]

Oh, I have already submitted the application. 🥲
