pip install toolbox-llamaindex
Here's a minimal example to get you started using
import asyncio
from llama_index.llms.google_genai import GoogleGenAI
from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import AgentWorkflow
from toolbox_llamaindex import ToolboxClient
async def run_agent():
toolbox = ToolboxClient("http://127.0.0.1:5000")
tools = toolbox.load_toolset()
vertex_model = GoogleGenAI(
model="gemini-1.5-pro",
vertexai_config={"project": "project-id", "location": "us-central1"},
)
agent = AgentWorkflow.from_tools_or_functions(
tools,
llm=vertex_model,
system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant.",
)
response = await agent.run(user_msg="Get some response from the agent.")
print(response)
asyncio.run(run_agent())
Import and initialize the toolbox client.
from toolbox_llamaindex import ToolboxClient
# Replace with your Toolbox service's URL
toolbox = ToolboxClient("http://127.0.0.1:5000")
A toolset is a collection of related tools. You can load all tools in a toolset or a specific one:
# Load all tools
tools = toolbox.load_toolset()
# Load a specific toolset
tools = toolbox.load_toolset("my-toolset")
tool = toolbox.load_tool("my-tool")
Loading individual tools gives you finer-grained control over which tools are available to your LLM agent.
LangChain's agents can dynamically choose and execute tools based on the user input. Include tools loaded from the Toolbox SDK in the agent's toolkit:
from llama_index.llms.google_genai import GoogleGenAI
from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import AgentWorkflow
vertex_model = GoogleGenAI(
model="gemini-1.5-pro",
vertexai_config={"project": "project-id", "location": "us-central1"},
)
# Initialize agent with tools
agent = AgentWorkflow.from_tools_or_functions(
tools,
llm=vertex_model,
system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant.",
)
# Query the agent
response = await agent.run(user_msg="Get some response from the agent.")
print(response)
To maintain state for the agent, add context as follows:
from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import AgentWorkflow
from llama_index.core.workflow import Context
from llama_index.llms.google_genai import GoogleGenAI
vertex_model = GoogleGenAI(
model="gemini-1.5-pro",
vertexai_config={"project": "twisha-dev", "location": "us-central1"},
)
agent = AgentWorkflow.from_tools_or_functions(
tools,
llm=vertex_model,
system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant",
)
# Save memory in agent context
ctx = Context(agent)
response = await agent.run(user_msg="Give me some response.", ctx=ctx)
print(response)
Execute a tool manually using the call
method:
result = tools[0].call({"name": "Alice", "age": 30})
This is useful for testing tools or when you need precise control over tool execution outside of an agent framework.
Warning
Always use HTTPS to connect your application with the Toolbox service, especially when using tools with authentication configured. Using HTTP exposes your application to serious security risks.
Some tools require user authentication to access sensitive data.
Toolbox currently supports authentication using the OIDC protocol with ID tokens (not access tokens) for Google OAuth 2.0.
Refer to these instructions on configuring tools for authenticated parameters.
You need a method to retrieve an ID token from your authentication service:
async def get_auth_token():
# ... Logic to retrieve ID token (e.g., from local storage, OAuth flow)
# This example just returns a placeholder. Replace with your actual token retrieval.
return "YOUR_ID_TOKEN" # Placeholder
toolbox = ToolboxClient("http://127.0.0.1:5000")
tools = toolbox.load_toolset()
auth_tool = tools[0].add_auth_token("my_auth", get_auth_token) # Single token
multi_auth_tool = tools[0].add_auth_tokens({"my_auth", get_auth_token}) # Multiple tokens
# OR
auth_tools = [tool.add_auth_token("my_auth", get_auth_token) for tool in tools]
auth_tool = toolbox.load_tool(auth_tokens={"my_auth": get_auth_token})
auth_tools = toolbox.load_toolset(auth_tokens={"my_auth": get_auth_token})
Note
Adding auth tokens during loading only affect the tools loaded within that call.
import asyncio
from toolbox_llamaindex import ToolboxClient
async def get_auth_token():
# ... Logic to retrieve ID token (e.g., from local storage, OAuth flow)
# This example just returns a placeholder. Replace with your actual token retrieval.
return "YOUR_ID_TOKEN" # Placeholder
toolbox = ToolboxClient("http://127.0.0.1:5000")
tool = toolbox.load_tool("my-tool")
auth_tool = tool.add_auth_token("my_auth", get_auth_token)
result = auth_tool.call({"input": "some input"})
print(result)
Predetermine values for tool parameters using the SDK. These values won't be modified by the LLM. This is useful for:
- Protecting sensitive information: API keys, secrets, etc.
- Enforcing consistency: Ensuring specific values for certain parameters.
- Pre-filling known data: Providing defaults or context.
toolbox = ToolboxClient("http://127.0.0.1:5000")
tools = toolbox.load_toolset()
bound_tool = tool[0].bind_param("param", "value") # Single param
multi_bound_tool = tools[0].bind_params({"param1": "value1", "param2": "value2"}) # Multiple params
# OR
bound_tools = [tool.bind_param("param", "value") for tool in tools]
bound_tool = toolbox.load_tool("my-tool", bound_params={"param": "value"})
bound_tools = toolbox.load_toolset(bound_params={"param": "value"})
Note
Bound values during loading only affect the tools loaded in that call.
Use a function to bind dynamic values:
def get_dynamic_value():
# Logic to determine the value
return "dynamic_value"
dynamic_bound_tool = tool.bind_param("param", get_dynamic_value)
Important
You don't need to modify tool configurations to bind parameter values.
For better performance through cooperative
multitasking, you can
use the asynchronous interfaces of the ToolboxClient
.
Note
Asynchronous interfaces like aload_tool
and aload_toolset
require an
asynchronous environment. For guidance on running asynchronous Python
programs, see asyncio
documentation.
