工具

工具与执行

One Handler Per Tool

120 LOC4 工具Tool dispatch map
The loop stays the same; new tools register into the dispatch map

s01 > [ s02 ] s03 > s04 > s05 > s06 | s07 > s08 > s09 > s10 > s11 > s12

"加一个工具, 只加一个 handler" -- 循环不用动, 新工具注册进 dispatch map 就行。

问题

只有 bash 时, 所有操作都走 shell。cat 截断不可预测, sed 遇到特殊字符就崩, 每次 bash 调用都是不受约束的安全面。专用工具 (read_file, write_file) 可以在工具层面做路径沙箱。

关键洞察: 加工具不需要改循环。

解决方案

+--------+      +-------+      +------------------+
|  User  | ---> |  LLM  | ---> | Tool Dispatch    |
| prompt |      |       |      | {                |
+--------+      +---+---+      |   bash: run_bash |
                    ^           |   read: run_read |
                    |           |   write: run_wr  |
                    +-----------+   edit: run_edit |
                    tool_result | }                |
                                +------------------+

The dispatch map is a dict: {tool_name: handler_function}.
One lookup replaces any if/elif chain.

工作原理

  1. 每个工具有一个处理函数。路径沙箱防止逃逸工作区。
def safe_path(p: str) -> Path:
    path = (WORKDIR / p).resolve()
    if not path.is_relative_to(WORKDIR):
        raise ValueError(f"Path escapes workspace: {p}")
    return path

def run_read(path: str, limit: int = None) -> str:
    text = safe_path(path).read_text()
    lines = text.splitlines()
    if limit and limit < len(lines):
        lines = lines[:limit]
    return "\n".join(lines)[:50000]
  1. dispatch map 将工具名映射到处理函数。
TOOL_HANDLERS = {
    "bash":       lambda **kw: run_bash(kw["command"]),
    "read_file":  lambda **kw: run_read(kw["path"], kw.get("limit")),
    "write_file": lambda **kw: run_write(kw["path"], kw["content"]),
    "edit_file":  lambda **kw: run_edit(kw["path"], kw["old_text"],
                                        kw["new_text"]),
}
  1. 循环中按名称查找处理函数。循环体本身与 s01 完全一致。
for block in response.content:
    if block.type == "tool_use":
        handler = TOOL_HANDLERS.get(block.name)
        output = handler(**block.input) if handler \
            else f"Unknown tool: {block.name}"
        results.append({
            "type": "tool_result",
            "tool_use_id": block.id,
            "content": output,
        })

加工具 = 加 handler + 加 schema。循环永远不变。

相对 s01 的变更

组件之前 (s01)之后 (s02)
Tools1 (仅 bash)4 (bash, read, write, edit)
Dispatch硬编码 bash 调用TOOL_HANDLERS 字典
路径安全safe_path() 沙箱
Agent loop不变不变

试一试

python agents/s02_tool_use.py

试试这些 prompt (英文 prompt 对 LLM 效果更好, 也可以用中文):

  1. Read the file requirements.txt
  2. Create a file called greet.py with a greet(name) function
  3. Edit greet.py to add a docstring to the function
  4. Read greet.py to verify the edit worked
