Case Study 3

Tool calling

The module tool_calling.py has 4 tools and they form pairs to test multiple tool calling in a both parallel and sequential modes.

I have tried to muddy the water regarding weather and temperature so that it can stress tool choice.

Independent tools

Parallel or independent tool calling example:

TOOL 1: - get weather (fake api) gets weather for a city.

TOOL 2: - Checks for seating availablity

These two answer the question: 'What is the temperature in Munich and are there seats indoors/outdoors available'

Dependent tools

Sequential or dependent tool calling example:

TOOL 3: - Converts Centigrade to Fahrenhiet

TOOL 4: - For a given temperature in F, gives a lable of COLD, MILD, WARM or HOT.

Tools 3 and 4 are sequential in answering the question 'What is 12C in Fahrenheit and give me the label/description of that temperature'.

Of course, this could be just one tool but this is a demo of sequential tool calling and checking correct tools and arguments are used as well as giving the correct outputs.
