|
||||
## Creating Your Tools
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Tools are always expect to return strings, as they are meant to be used by the agents to generate responses.
|
||||
## Creating Custom Tools
|
||||
|
||||
There are three ways to create tools for crewAI agents:
|
||||
- [Subclassing `BaseTool`](#subclassing-basetool)
|
||||
- [Using the `tool` decorator](#utilizing-the-tool-decorator)
|
||||
CrewAI offers two straightforward approaches to creating custom tools:
|
||||
|
||||
### Subclassing `BaseTool`
|
||||
|
||||
Define your tool by subclassing:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from crewai.tools import BaseTool
|
||||
|
||||
class MyCustomTool(BaseTool):
|
||||
name: str = "Name of my tool"
|
||||
description: str = "Clear description for what this tool is useful for, you agent will need this information to use it."
|
||||
name: str = "Tool Name"
|
||||
description: str = "Detailed description here."
|
||||
|
||||
def _run(self, argument: str) -> str:
|
||||
# Implementation goes here
|
||||
pass
|
||||
def _run(self, *args, **kwargs):
|
||||
# Your tool logic here
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Define a new class inheriting from `BaseTool`, specifying `name`, `description`, and the `_run` method for operational logic.
|
||||
### Using the `tool` Decorator
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Utilizing the `tool` Decorator
|
||||
|
||||
For a simpler approach, create a `Tool` object directly with the required attributes and a functional logic.
|
||||
Quickly create lightweight tools using decorators:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from crewai.tools import BaseTool
|
||||
@tool("Name of my tool")
|
||||
def my_tool(question: str) -> str:
|
||||
"""Clear description for what this tool is useful for, you agent will need this information to use it."""
|
||||
# Function logic here
|
||||
from crewai import tool
|
||||
|
||||
@tool("Tool Name")
|
||||
def my_custom_function(input):
|
||||
# Tool logic here
|
||||
return output
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `tool` decorator simplifies the process, transforming functions into tools with minimal overhead.
