Tool use is a method which allows developers to connect Cohere's Command models to external tools like search engines, APIs, databases, and other software tools. Just like how Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) allows a model to use an external data source to improve factual generation, tool use is a capability that allows retrieving data from multiple sources. But it goes beyond simply retrieving information and is able to use software tools to execute code, or even create entries in a CRM system.

In this notebook, we'll see how we can use two tools to create a simple data analyst agent that is able to search the web and run code in a python interpreter. This agent uses Cohere's Command R+ mode and Langchain.

Let's start by installing the required libraries

! pip install --quiet langchain langchain_cohere langchain_experimental

Setup

We'll need a Cohere API key here. Grab your key and paste it in the next slide if you have one, or register and create a new API key.

### LLMs
import os
os.environ['COHERE_API_KEY'] = "<INSERT COHERE API KEY HERE>"

from langchain_cohere.chat_models import ChatCohere
chat = ChatCohere(model="command-r-plus", temperature=0.3)

Our simple data analyst will be equipped with a web search tool, and a python interpreter (which we can use to run plotting code, for example).

Web search

Let's first equip our agent with web search! We can use the Tavily API for this. Head on to tavily.com and grab an API key to use here.

from langchain_community.tools.tavily_search import TavilySearchResults

os.environ['TAVILY_API_KEY'] = "<INSERT TAVILY API KEY HERE>"

internet_search = TavilySearchResults()
internet_search.name = "internet_search"
internet_search.description = "Returns a list of relevant document snippets for a textual query retrieved from the internet."


from langchain_core.pydantic_v1 import BaseModel, Field
class TavilySearchInput(BaseModel):
    query: str = Field(description="Query to search the internet with")
internet_search.args_schema = TavilySearchInput

Python interpreter tool

Let's equip our agent with a python interpreter!

from langchain.agents import Tool
from langchain_experimental.utilities import PythonREPL

python_repl = PythonREPL()
repl_tool = Tool(
    name="python_repl",
    description="Executes python code and returns the result. The code runs in a static sandbox without interactive mode, so print output or save output to a file.",
    func=python_repl.run,
)
repl_tool.name = "python_interpreter"

class ToolInput(BaseModel):
    code: str = Field(description="Python code to execute.")
repl_tool.args_schema = ToolInput

from langchain.agents import AgentExecutor
from langchain_cohere.react_multi_hop.agent import create_cohere_react_agent
from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate

prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_template("{input}")


agent = create_cohere_react_agent(
    llm=chat,
    tools=[internet_search, repl_tool],
    prompt=prompt,
)

agent_executor = AgentExecutor(agent=agent, tools=[internet_search, repl_tool], verbose=True)

agent_executor.invoke({
    "input": "Create a plot of the number of full time employees at the 3 tech companies with the highest market cap in the United States in 2024.",
})

> Entering new AgentExecutor chain...

First, I will search for the three tech companies with the highest market cap in the US in 2024. Then, I will search for the number of full-time employees at each of these companies, and plot the data using Python.
