class agentopera.tools.http.HttpTool(name: str, host: str, port: int, json_schema: dict[str, Any], headers: dict[str, Any] | None = None, description: str = 'HTTP tool', path: str = '/', scheme: Literal['http', 'https'] = 'http', method: Literal['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE', 'PATCH'] = 'POST', return_type: Literal['text', 'json'] = 'text')

Bases: BaseTool[BaseModel, Any]

A wrapper for using an HTTP server as a tool.

Parameters:

• name (str) – The name of the tool.

• description (str, optional) – A description of the tool.

• scheme (str) – The scheme to use for the request. Must be either “http” or “https”.

• host (str) – The host to send the request to.

• port (int) – The port to send the request to.

• path (str, optional) – The path to send the request to. Defaults to “/”. Can include path parameters like “/{param1}/{param2}” which will be templated from input args.

• method (str, optional) – The HTTP method to use, will default to POST if not provided. Must be one of “GET”, “POST”, “PUT”, “DELETE”, “PATCH”.

• headers (dict[str, Any], optional) – A dictionary of headers to send with the request.

• json_schema (dict[str, Any]) – A JSON Schema object defining the expected parameters for the tool. Path parameters must also be included in the schema and must be strings.

• return_type (Literal["text", "json"], optional) – The type of response to return from the tool. Defaults to “text”.

Note

This tool requires the http-tool extra for the agentopera package.

To install:

pip install -U "agentopera" "agentopera[http-tool]"

Example

Simple use case:

import asyncio

from agentopera.chatflow.agents import AssistantAgent
from agentopera.chatflow.messages import TextMessage
from agentopera.core import CancellationToken
from agentopera.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
from agentopera.agents.tools.http import HttpTool

# Define a JSON schema for a base64 decode tool
base64_schema = {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "value": {"type": "string", "description": "The base64 value to decode"},
    },
    "required": ["value"],
}

# Create an HTTP tool for the httpbin API
base64_tool = HttpTool(
    name="base64_decode",
    description="base64 decode a value",
    scheme="https",
    host="httpbin.org",
    port=443,
    path="/base64/{value}",
    method="GET",
    json_schema=base64_schema,
)


async def main():
    # Create an assistant with the base64 tool
    model = OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4")
    assistant = AssistantAgent("base64_assistant", model_client=model, tools=[base64_tool])

    # The assistant can now use the base64 tool to decode the string
    response = await assistant.on_messages(
        [TextMessage(content="Can you base64 decode the value 'YWJjZGU=', please?", source="user")],
        CancellationToken(),
    )
    print(response.chat_message.content)


asyncio.run(main())

component_type = 'tool'

component_provider_override = 'agentopera.agents.tools.http.HttpTool'

component_config_schema

alias of HttpToolConfig

async run(args: BaseModel, cancellation_token: CancellationToken) → Any

Execute the HTTP tool with the given arguments.

Parameters:

• args – The validated input arguments

• cancellation_token – Token for cancelling the operation

Returns:

The response body from the HTTP call in JSON format

Raises:

Exception – If tool execution fails
