# Tools
|
||||
|
||||
A tool is a callable capability that agents can use during task execution. Each tool lives in its own directory under `tools/` and is defined by a `TOOL.md` file and an `index.ts` (or `index.js`) entry point.
|
||||
|
||||
Tools are loaded by the `tool-loader` extension at startup and registered as callable functions. They appear in the agent's system prompt and can be invoked by name.
|
||||
|
||||
## File Structure
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
tools/
|
||||
<tool-name>/
|
||||
TOOL.md # Metadata and documentation
|
||||
index.ts # Implementation (required)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Both files are required. The loader skips directories missing either `TOOL.md` or an entry file.
|
||||
|
||||
## TOOL.md Format
|
||||
|
||||
A tool file has two parts: **frontmatter** (YAML metadata) and **body** (Markdown documentation).
|
||||
|
||||
### Frontmatter
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
---
|
||||
name: tool_name
|
||||
label: Tool Name
|
||||
description: What the tool does and when the agent should use it.
|
||||
version: 1
|
||||
language: typescript
|
||||
inputs:
|
||||
param_name:
|
||||
type: string
|
||||
description: What this parameter is for.
|
||||
optional_param:
|
||||
type: number
|
||||
description: An optional parameter.
|
||||
optional: true
|
||||
secret_param:
|
||||
type: string
|
||||
description: A sensitive value (e.g., API token).
|
||||
optional: true
|
||||
sensitive: true
|
||||
mode:
|
||||
type: enum
|
||||
values: single,batch
|
||||
description: Choose between modes.
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Fields
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|
||||
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| `name` | string | yes | Identifier for the tool (used in tool calls). Use `snake_case`. |
|
||||
| `label` | string | no | Human-readable display name. Defaults to `name` if omitted. |
|
||||
| `description` | string | yes | What the tool does. This appears in the agent's system prompt — make it specific enough for the agent to know when to use it. |
|
||||
| `version` | integer | no | Version number. Used by `sync-tools` to detect updates — bump when changing the tool. |
|
||||
| `language` | string | no | Implementation language: `typescript`, `bash`, or `python`. Defaults to `typescript`. |
|
||||
| `inputs` | object | no | Input parameters the tool accepts. Keys are parameter names. |
|
||||
|
||||
#### Input Fields
|
||||
|
||||
Each input is a key under `inputs:` with these properties:
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|
||||
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| `type` | string | yes | Parameter type: `string`, `number`, `boolean`, or `enum`. |
|
||||
| `description` | string | yes | What this parameter is for. Shown to the agent. |
|
||||
| `optional` | boolean | no | Whether the parameter is optional. Defaults to required. |
|
||||
| `sensitive` | boolean | no | Mark sensitive values (tokens, passwords). Prevents logging. |
|
||||
| `values` | string | no | Comma-separated allowed values when `type` is `enum`. |
|
||||
| `default` | any | no | Default value if not provided. |
|
||||
|
||||
### Body
|
||||
|
||||
The body is Markdown documentation that the agent sees when the tool is loaded. Include:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Title** — `# Tool Name`
|
||||
- **Authentication** — How credentials are resolved (env vars, integrations, etc.)
|
||||
- **Usage** — How to call the tool and what parameters to pass.
|
||||
- **Examples** — Common usage patterns.
|
||||
- **Error Handling** — What errors can occur and what they mean.
|
||||
- **Notes** — Limits, billing, external links.
|
||||
|
||||
## index.ts Format
|
||||
|
||||
The entry file must export an `execute` function:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
type ToolResult = {
|
||||
content: Array<{ type: string; text: string }>;
|
||||
isError?: boolean;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
type OnUpdate = (partial: { content: Array<{ type: string; text: string }> }) => void;
|
||||
|
||||
export async function execute(
|
||||
toolCallId: string,
|
||||
params: Record<string, unknown>,
|
||||
signal: AbortSignal | undefined,
|
||||
onUpdate?: OnUpdate,
|
||||
): Promise<ToolResult> {
|
||||
// Implementation here
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
| Parameter | Description |
|
||||
|-----------|-------------|
|
||||
| `toolCallId` | Unique ID for this tool call. |
|
||||
| `params` | Input values from the agent, matching the `inputs` defined in TOOL.md. |
|
||||
| `signal` | AbortSignal for cancellation. |
|
||||
| `onUpdate` | Callback for streaming progress updates to the agent during long operations. |
|
||||
|
||||
### Return Value
|
||||
|
||||
Return a `ToolResult` object:
|
||||
- `content` — Array of content blocks. Usually one `{ type: 'text', text: '...' }`.
|
||||
- `isError` — Set `true` to indicate failure. The agent sees the error and can react.
|
||||
|
||||
### Progress Updates
|
||||
|
||||
Use `onUpdate` to stream status during long-running operations:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
onUpdate?.({ content: [{ type: 'text', text: 'Processing step 2 of 5...' }] });
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Authentication
|
||||
|
||||
Tools should resolve credentials internally, not require the agent to pass them. Pattern:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Check for an explicit parameter override (e.g., `params.api_token`)
|
||||
2. Fall back to an environment variable (e.g., `process.env.OFFICER_APIFY_TOKEN`)
|
||||
3. Return a helpful error if neither is available
|
||||
|
||||
Environment variables are set by `pi-bridge.ts` from the integration config stored in the database (Settings → Integrations).
|
||||
|
||||
### Runtime Environment
|
||||
|
||||
Tools run inside sandboxed containers using **Node.js** (not Bun). Do not use Bun-specific APIs like `Bun.sleep`, `Bun.file`, etc. Use Node.js equivalents:
|
||||
|
||||
- `setTimeout` / `setInterval` for delays
|
||||
- `fs.readFileSync` / `fs.writeFileSync` for file I/O
|
||||
- `fetch` (available in Node 18+) for HTTP requests
|
||||
|
||||
### Large Output
|
||||
|
||||
If a tool may return large data (e.g., API responses with many items), provide an `output_path` parameter. When set, save the data to the file and return a summary instead:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
if (params.output_path) {
|
||||
writeFileSync(params.output_path, JSON.stringify(items, null, 2));
|
||||
return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: `${items.length} items saved to ${params.output_path}` }] };
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This prevents flooding the agent's context window with raw data.
|
||||
|
||||
## Sync and Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
Tools are synced from `seed/tools/` to `DATA_PATH/tools/` at server startup by `sync-tools.ts`. The sync is version-based — it only overwrites when the seed version is higher than the target version. Always bump `version` in the frontmatter when updating a tool.
|
||||
|
||||
The `tool-loader` extension discovers tools from directories listed in the `PI_TOOLS_DIRS` environment variable (colon-separated). Only `DATA_PATH/tools/` is mounted into containers — `seed/tools/` is not directly accessible at runtime.
|
||||
|
||||
## Existing Tools

|
||||
| `web_fetch` | Fetch and extract content from URLs |
|
||||

# Apify
|
||||
|
||||
Run any actor from the Apify Store, wait for completion, and return the dataset items as JSON.
|
||||
|
||||
## Authentication
|
||||
|
||||
The API token is resolved automatically:
|
||||
1. `api_token` input parameter (explicit override)
|
||||
2. `OFFICER_APIFY_TOKEN` environment variable (set automatically when configured in Settings → Integrations → Apify)
|
||||
|
||||
If neither is available, the tool returns an error prompting the user to configure the integration.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Just provide the `actor_id` and optional `input`:
|
||||
```
|
||||
apify(actor_id: "novi~fast-tiktok-scraper", input: { type: "TREND", region: "PT", maxItems: 20 })
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The tool starts the actor, polls until completion, fetches the dataset, and returns all items as JSON.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Actors
|
||||
|
||||
| Actor | ID | Input example |
|
||||
|-------|----|---------------|
|
||||
| TikTok Scraper | `novi~fast-tiktok-scraper` | `{ type: 'TREND', region: 'US', maxItems: 20 }` |
|
||||
| Twitter Scraper | `apify/twitter-scraper` | `{ searchTerms: ['#ai'], tweetsCount: 100 }` |
|
||||
| Twitter User | `jupri/twitter-user-scraper` | `{ twitterUser: 'username', maxPosts: 50 }` |
|
||||
| Facebook Scraper | `apify/facebook-scraper` | `{ startUrls: ['https://facebook.com/Page'], maxPostsPerPage: 50 }` |
|
||||
| Facebook Search | `jupri/facebook-search-scraper` | `{ searchTerm: 'keyword', maxPosts: 30 }` |
|
||||
| Instagram Hashtag | `apify/instagram-hashtag-scraper` | `{ hashtags: ['travel'], resultsLimit: 50 }` |
|
||||
| Instagram User | `apify/instagram-user-scraper` | `{ usernames: ['natgeo'], resultsLimit: 50 }` |
|
||||
| YouTube Scraper | `apify/youtube-scraper` | `{ searchTerms: ['tutorial'], maxResults: 20 }` |
|
||||
| Google Search | `apify/google-search-scraper` | `{ queries: ['best restaurants lisbon'] }` |
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
The tool returns clear error messages for:
|
||||
- Missing API token → "Configure it in Settings → Integrations → Apify"
|
||||
- API errors (401, 403, etc.) → includes the HTTP status and response body
|
||||
- Actor failures → includes the actor's `statusMessage`
|
||||
- Timeouts → reports the run ID and last known status
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Actor IDs use `~` (Apify URL format) or `/` — both work
|
||||
- Browse actors at https://apify.com/store
|
||||
- Monitor usage and credits at https://console.apify.com/billing
