Live Sensor Data Integration

You

I have created an LLM using Huggingface’s serverless API and Deepseek. The LLM is tasked to be a tree correspondent and report on its situation and the situation of its habitat in three distinct locations. I am feeding it selected scientific information through RAG depending on the user’s questions. We have also attached weather sensors to select trees in each of these locations and we are coupling the retrieved data with satelite data for the same regions. Right now I am not getting the sensor data Live but rather I have preprocessed the significant events and passed them into the model as weather RAG depending on the user’s questions. I now want to switch to a live workflow and i was wondering how i can implement tool calling to achieve that. Here is my llm class for reference:

To move from shuttling pre‐baked weather/RAG snippets into your model toward a truly “live” workflow, you’ll want your LLM to actually call out to your sensor‐and‐satellite APIs at runtime. The easiest way to do that inside LangChain is with an Agent + Tools (or, if you’d rather, with the OpenAI “functions” API). Below are two patterns—pick the one that best fits your stack.

---

1) Using LangChain Agents & Tools

1. Wrap your live data fetchers as Python functions.

   import requests
   
   class ChatManager:
       # … existing __init__ …
   
       def fetch_live_sensor_data(self, region: str) -> dict:
           """Call your sensor API and return structured JSON."""
           resp = requests.get(f"{os.getenv('SENSOR_API_URL')}/latest?region={region}")
           resp.raise_for_status()
           return resp.json()
   
       def fetch_satellite_data(self, region: str) -> dict:
           """Call your satellite‐data API and return structured JSON."""
           resp = requests.get(f"{os.getenv('SAT_API_URL')}/summary?region={region}")
           resp.raise_for_status()
           return resp.json()

2. Define these as LangChain Tool objects right after you initialize your LLM & RAG retriever:

   from langchain.agents import Tool, initialize_agent, AgentType
   
   class ChatManager:
       def _initialize_config(self):
           # … your existing init logic …
   
           # wrap functions in Tools
           tools = [
               Tool(
                   name="get_sensor_data",
                   func=self.fetch_live_sensor_data,
                   description="Fetch the latest weather sensor readings for a given region."
               ),
               Tool(
                   name="get_satellite_data",
                   func=self.fetch_satellite_data,
                   description="Fetch recent satellite data summary for a given region."
               ),
           ]
   
           # build an agent that can use tools + your LLM
           self.agent = initialize_agent(
               tools,
               self.llm,
               agent=AgentType.OPENAI_FUNCTIONS,  # or AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION
               verbose=True,
           )

3. Hook the agent into your chat loop in place of the raw self.llm.invoke(...). For example, in generate_tree_response:

   @spaces.GPU()
   def generate_tree_response(self, question, history):
       # … validation, formatting, etc. …
   
       # Give the agent the entire context; it will decide when to call tools.
       full_input = (
           f"Region: {self.region}\n"
           f"History:\n{formatted_history}\n\n"
           f"Question: {question}"
       )
       agent_output = self.agent.run(full_input)
   
       # agent_output already includes any fetched data seamlessly integrated.
       clean_response = self.clean_text(agent_output)
   
       # … store in memory, logs, return …
       return history + [(question, clean_response)], ""

Now your LLM can “decide” at runtime to call get_sensor_data(region="Brazil/Viçosa") or get_satellite_data(…) whenever it needs fresh numbers—no more manual RAG‐preprocessing of weather events.

---

2) Using OpenAI Function‐Calling Directly

If you prefer to stay purely in the OpenAI ChatCompletion world (and your HF model won’t do functions), you can:

1. Define your function schemas in the chat API call:

   functions = [
       {
           "name": "get_sensor_data",
           "description": "Fetch the latest weather sensor readings for a given region",
           "parameters": {
               "type": "object",
               "properties": {
                   "region": {"type": "string", "description": "e.g. 'Korea/Hongcheon'"},
               },
               "required": ["region"]
           }
       },
       {
           "name": "get_satellite_data",
           "description": "Fetch recent satellite data summary for a given region",
           "parameters": {
               "type": "object",
               "properties": {
                   "region": {"type": "string", "description": "region name"},
               },
               "required": ["region"]
           }
       },
   ]

2. Call ChatCompletion.create with functions and function_call="auto":

   import openai, json
   
   def ask_with_functions(messages):
       resp = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
           model="gpt-4o-mini",
           messages=messages,
           functions=functions,
           function_call="auto",
       )
       msg = resp.choices[0].message
   
       if msg.get("function_call"):
           fn_name = msg.function_call.name
           args = json.loads(msg.function_call.arguments)
           # dispatch
           if fn_name == "get_sensor_data":
               result = fetch_live_sensor_data(**args)
           else:
               result = fetch_satellite_data(**args)
   
           # add the function’s response to the conversation
           messages.append(msg)
           messages.append({
               "role": "function",
               "name": fn_name,
               "content": json.dumps(result),
           })
   
           # re‐ask model for the final answer
           final = openai.ChatCompletion.create(model="gpt-4o-mini", messages=messages)
           return final.choices[0].message.content
   
       else:
           # no function call needed
           return msg.content

3. Drive your chat loop through ask_with_functions instead of raw .invoke, and the model will auto‐call your live APIs.

---

Which to choose?

• LangChain Agents give you higher‐level orchestration (and you keep using your HF wrapper).
• OpenAI Functions are lower‐level but very transparent if you’re already on OpenAI’s API.

Either way, you’ll end up with a system where:

• Your LLM can fetch live sensor data or satellite data on demand.
• You no longer have to preprocess “events” into RAG—tools provide the fresh facts in real time.

Feel free to let me know which approach feels closer to your stack, and I can help you drill into the implementation details!

You

yeah i’d like to use the agent since i want to keep using my HF wrapper. However. I don’t want to take RAG out entirely because I am still using it for additional knowledge from the knowledge database I have built. Can you explain a bit more tha agent workflow because i didn’t quite get how to integrate it to my current generate_tree_response function

Here’s how you can layer an Agent on top of your existing RAG‐plus‐HF workflow so that—at runtime—your LLM can both (a) draw on the RAG snippets you still love, and (b) call out to your real, live sensor and satellite APIs when it wants fresh data.

---

1) Define your live‐data tools

In your ChatManager._initialize_config, after you spin up your HF LLM and your RAG retriever, do something like this:

from langchain.agents import Tool, initialize_agent, AgentType

class ChatManager:
    def _initialize_config(self):
        # … your existing HF + RAG init …

        # 1. Wrap your live‐data endpoints as Python methods
        def fetch_sensor(region: str) -> dict:
            resp = requests.get(f"{os.getenv('SENSOR_API_URL')}/latest?region={region}")
            resp.raise_for_status()
            return resp.json()

        def fetch_satellite(region: str) -> dict:
            resp = requests.get(f"{os.getenv('SAT_API_URL')}/summary?region={region}")
            resp.raise_for_status()
            return resp.json()

        # 2. Turn them into LangChain Tools
        tools = [
            Tool(
                name="get_sensor_data",
                func=fetch_sensor,
                description="Returns the latest weather‐sensor readings for a given region."
            ),
            Tool(
                name="get_satellite_data",
                func=fetch_satellite,
                description="Returns a recent satellite‐data summary for a given region."
            ),
        ]

        # 3. Build your Agent
        #    ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION works with any LLM (no function‐calling under the hood),
        #    so it plays nicely with your HuggingFaceAPI wrapper.
        self.agent = initialize_agent(
            tools,
            self.llm,
            agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
            verbose=True,
        )

---

2) Keep your RAG retrieval, then hand everything to the Agent

Inside your generate_tree_response—just after you’ve done:

1. Validation
2. Classification
3. self.retrieve_information(...) & .filter_rag_data_by_keywords(...)

you’ll have:

cleaned_info  # a dict of mode → [docs…]
cleaned_meta  # the corresponding metadata
flattened_rag = "\n\n".join(
    f"[{mode.upper()}]\n" + "\n\n".join(docs)
    for mode, docs in cleaned_info.items()
) or "No external knowledge needed."
formatted_history = self.format_history_for_prompt(self.memory.load_memory_variables({})["chat_history"])

Replace your manual “think → prompt → invoke → response” block with one call to the Agent:

# 4) Build a single “prompt” string that includes:
#    • Your regional instruction (self.instruction)
#    • The RAG snippets
#    • Chat history
#    • A reminder about what tools are available
#    • The user’s question
agent_input = "\n\n".join([
    self.instruction,
    f"RAG snippets:\n{flattened_rag}",
    f"Chat history:\n{formatted_history}",
    "If you need fresh numbers, you can call get_sensor_data(region) or get_satellite_data(region).",
    f"QUESTION: {question}",
    "Respond as the tree correspondent."
])

# 5) Let the agent decide when to call out to your live‐data tools:
agent_output = self.agent.run(agent_input)

# 6) Clean & store
clean_response = self.clean_text(agent_output)
self.memory.chat_memory.add_user_message(question)
self.memory.chat_memory.add_ai_message(clean_response)

return history + [(question, clean_response)], ""

---

Why this works

• RAG stays in place. You still fetch and filter your scientific, diary, weather, insights chunks exactly as before.
• Live data on demand. When the prompt reaches the agent, its built-in REACT loop will decide—“Hmm, I need current temperature or satellite NDVI”—and then call your get_sensor_data or get_satellite_data tools automatically.
• Single codepath. You don’t have to maintain two completely separate flows; everything funnels through self.agent.run(...).

---

A few tips

• Verbose=True on the agent will print to your logs exactly which tools are invoked when, and with what arguments.
• If you need more structured function‐calling (e.g. strict JSON schemas, automatic re‐asking), you can switch AgentType.OPENAI_FUNCTIONS, but ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION tends to be easiest with non-OpenAI LLMs.
• You can still wrap any additional fetchers (e.g. a soil-moisture API, a forest-health index) as more Tool(…) entries.

Let me know if you’d like to see a working minimal example, or if there’s a particular edge-case in your generate_tree_response you’d like to iron out!

You

No, I don’t want to get rid of the thinking step. What i need is a way to activate the agent to fetch the live data if it deems its required and then pass them on to final prompt of the generated tree response.

Below is a recipe for how to weave the Agent into your existing generate_tree_response flow—without ripping out your “think” step—so that:

1. You still generate internal thoughts
2. You let the Agent decide (and execute) any needed live‐data calls
3. You stitch RAG + live data into your final Tree prompt

---

1) Initialize your Agent exactly once

In _initialize_config, after you create self.llm and self.rag_retriever, add:

from langchain.agents import Tool, initialize_agent, AgentType
import requests

class ChatManager:
    def _initialize_config(self):
        # … existing LLM + RAG init …

        # wrap your live‐fetchers
        def fetch_sensor(region: str) -> dict:
            return requests.get(f"{os.getenv('SENSOR_API_URL')}/latest?region={region}").json()

        def fetch_satellite(region: str) -> dict:
            return requests.get(f"{os.getenv('SAT_API_URL')}/summary?region={region}").json()

        tools = [
            Tool(
                name="get_sensor_data",
                func=fetch_sensor,
                description="Returns latest sensor readings for a region."
            ),
            Tool(
                name="get_satellite_data",
                func=fetch_satellite,
                description="Returns recent satellite summary for a region."
            ),
        ]

        # ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION works nicely with any LLM wrapper
        self.agent = initialize_agent(
            tools,
            self.llm,
            agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
            verbose=True,
        )

---

2) Inject an “Agent‐call” between your Thoughts and Final Answer

Here’s a skeleton of your old flow:

def generate_tree_response(...):
    # 0) validation, 1) classify, 2) RAG → cleaned_info
    flattened_rag = …
    formatted_history = …

    # 3) TREE THINKS
    tree_thoughts = self.generate_tree_thoughts(...)

    # 4) FINAL PROMPT → LLM.invoke → response
    response = self.llm.invoke(final_prompt)

We’ll turn it into:

def generate_tree_response(self, question, history):
    # … steps 0–2: validation, classification, RAG …
    flattened_rag = …
    formatted_history = …

    # 3) TREE THINKS (unchanged)
    tree_thoughts = self.generate_tree_thoughts(
        self.instruction,
        question,
        flattened_rag,
        formatted_history
    )

    # 4) AGENT FETCHES LIVE DATA if needed
    agent_prompt = "\n\n".join([
        "You are the Tree’s data agent.",
        "Based on these internal thoughts, decide whether you need fresh sensor or satellite data.",
        f"Internal thoughts:\n{tree_thoughts}",
        "If you need live data, call get_sensor_data(region) or get_satellite_data(region) with the current region,"
      +   f" otherwise just respond with an empty JSON object {}.",
        "Output **only** the JSON of fetched data."
    ])
    raw_live = self.agent.run(agent_prompt)

    # try to parse it as JSON
    try:
        live_data = json.loads(raw_live)
    except:
        live_data = {}

    # 5) MERGE RAG + LIVE for final prompt
    #    — embed both in your template
    merged_info = flattened_rag
    if live_data:
        merged_info += "\n\n[LIVE DATA]\n" + json.dumps(live_data, indent=2)

    final_prompt = self.instruction + self.prompts['tree_response']['template']
    formatted_final = final_prompt.format(
        chat_history=formatted_history,
        question=question,
        retrieved_info=merged_info,
        tree_thoughts=tree_thoughts
    )

    # 6) GET THE TREE’S ANSWER
    response = self.llm.invoke(formatted_final).strip()
    clean_response = self.clean_text(response)

    # … save to memory, logs, return …
    self.memory.chat_memory.add_user_message(question)
    self.memory.chat_memory.add_ai_message(clean_response)
    return history + [(question, clean_response)], ""

---

🔑 Why this solves your problem

1. Your “think” step stays intact. You still call generate_tree_thoughts(...) and capture the Tree’s internal monologue.
2. The Agent only runs once, right after your thoughts: it sees those thoughts, auto‐decides if live data is needed, and calls your get_sensor_data / get_satellite_data tools for you.
3. You combine RAG + live data into a single retrieved_info blob for your final answer. No upstream RAG logic needs to change.

---

A few extra tips

• If you want strict JSON schema, you can wrap your agent‐prompt in an explicit function‐calling style, but for most cases a single ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION call suffices.
• Keep verbose=True on your agent during development to see exactly which tool calls happened.
• You can extend the same pattern to any new live‐data sources—just add another Tool(…) and bump the agent prompt.

Let me know if any piece of that needs to be expanded or if you hit any edge cases!

You

so that’s how agents function in general? they are instructed from a prompt and decide to call a function that’s defined by name?

Exactly—at a high level, a LangChain Agent is just your LLM plus a registry of “Tools” (i.e. functions) it can invoke. Here’s the step-by-step:

1. Tool Registration
   You wrap any live-fetch or helper routine as a Tool(name=..., func=..., description=...). Under the hood, LangChain keeps a map of tool-names ⇒ Python callables.

2. Agent Prompting
   When you call agent.run(input_text), LangChain automatically constructs a prompt that includes:

   • Your input (e.g. region, RAG snippets, internal thoughts)
   • A listing of available tools with their names & descriptions

3. LLM “Thinking”
   The LLM generates a “thought” sequence in which it decides:

   • Do I need fresh data?
   • If so, which tool—and with what arguments?

4. Function Call Extraction
   LangChain parses the LLM’s output for a designated pattern (e.g. get_sensor_data(region="Brazil/Viçosa")) and automatically invokes your Python function with those arguments.

5. Observation & Loop
   The result of that call is fed back into the prompt as an “observation.” The agent can then:

   • Call more tools, or
   • Produce its final answer.

6. Final Answer
   Once the agent is done tool-calling, it emits a “final” response, which you clean up and return to the user.

So yes—your LLM is simply instructed via prompt and tool-descriptions, generates a tool-call by name, LangChain runs that function for you, and feeds the result back into the chain. This lets you seamlessly blend RAG, internal “thinking,” and live API calls in a single workflow.

You

is the agent defined inside the initialize_config? Why?

def _initialize_config(self): # … existing LLM + RAG init …

    # wrap your live‐fetchers
    def fetch_sensor(region: str) -> dict:
        return requests.get(f"{os.getenv('SENSOR_API_URL')}/latest?region={region}").json()

    def fetch_satellite(region: str) -> dict:
        return requests.get(f"{os.getenv('SAT_API_URL')}/summary?region={region}").json()

    tools = [
        Tool(
            name="get_sensor_data",
            func=fetch_sensor,
            description="Returns latest sensor readings for a region."
        ),
        Tool(
            name="get_satellite_data",
            func=fetch_satellite,
            description="Returns recent satellite summary for a region."
        ),
    ]

    # ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION works nicely with any LLM wrapper
    self.agent = initialize_agent(
        tools,
        self.llm,
        agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,

Yes—that snippet lives in _initialize_config() because that method is your one‐stop “bootstrap” for anything the ChatManager needs before it answers a single question:

1. Order of Initialization

   • First you load your environment, YAML, tokens, etc.
   • Then you create your HuggingFaceAPI LLM wrapper (self.llm) and your RAG retriever (self.rag_retriever).
   • Only once both of those exist can you sensibly build an Agent around them.

2. Single Source of Truth
   By putting tool‐registration and self.agent = initialize_agent(…) in _initialize_config, you guarantee:

   • The agent is built exactly once.
   • It’s using the exact same self.llm instance you’re already invoking for RAG, personas, thoughts, final prompts, etc.
   • All your API URLs and credentials (loaded earlier in that method) are in scope when you define the helper functions (fetch_sensor, fetch_satellite).

3. Encapsulation & Clarity

   • Anything that’s part of your “runtime configuration” lives in one place.
   • Downstream methods (generate_tree_response, generate_tree_thoughts, etc.) can simply do self.agent.run(...) without worrying about how it was built.

---

Could you define it elsewhere?

Sure—you could register those tools in __init__, or even as top-level globals—but then you’d have to:

• Ensure environment variables are loaded before you create your tools.
• Pass around the LLM instance and any config into whatever module/function builds the agent.

Putting it in _initialize_config keeps that wiring tight: load config → init LLM & RAG → define tools → build agent. Downstream, you just say self.agent and everything “just works.”

You

why are the funcions defined inside the funcion

Defining those small helper functions inside _initialize_config is mostly a matter of scoping and convenience:

1. Capturing Your Just-Loaded Config and Env
   In _initialize_config you’ve already loaded os.getenv("SENSOR_API_URL"), SAT_API_URL, the HuggingFace token, and your YAML parameters. By writing

   def fetch_sensor(region): …

   right there, you automatically “close over” whatever local variables or environment you just set up—no need to pass URLs or tokens around.

2. Keeping the Namespace Clean
   Those functions are only ever going to be used to register your tools. By nesting them, you avoid polluting the class-level or module-level namespace with one-off helpers that nobody else will call.

3. Tight Coupling with Your Agent Setup
   Since you only build the agent once—immediately after you configure your LLM and RAG retriever—it’s natural to define the functions in that same block. It makes it clear: “Here’s where we wire up live-fetchers → wrap them as tools → build the agent.”

---

Alternatives

• Instance methods
  You could instead write:

  class ChatManager:
      def fetch_sensor(self, region): …
      def fetch_satellite(self, region): …

  and then register func=self.fetch_sensor in your tools list. That works too, especially if you expect to call those methods elsewhere.

• Module-level functions
  If you have multiple classes or scripts that need the same endpoints, you might pull them out to the top of the file (or into a utils.py). But then you’d have to ensure your config (env vars, URLs) is available at import time.

---

In short, nesting them in _initialize_config is just the cleanest way to:

• Use the freshly loaded URLs and tokens
• Keep them tightly scoped to where they’re needed
• Avoid unnecessary boilerplate passing around arguments or attributes

All downstream code then just has to call self.agent.run(…)—the setup is already done!

PyCharm is warning you because initialize_agent() expects its llm argument to be an instance of LangChain’s BaseLanguageModel (or subclass), whereas your HuggingFaceAPI wrapper doesn’t inherit from that interface. You have two clean paths forward:

---

1) Swap in LangChain’s built-in HF LLM

If you don’t need any custom logic in your HuggingFaceAPI class beyond a simple .invoke(prompt) → text, you can use LangChain’s own wrapper:

from langchain.llms import HuggingFaceHub

class ChatManager:
    def _initialize_config(self):
        load_dotenv()
        token = os.getenv("HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN")
        model_url = config["API"]["model_url"]

        # Replace HuggingFaceAPI with LangChain’s BaseLanguageModel
        self.llm = HuggingFaceHub(
            repo_id=model_url,
            model_kwargs={"temperature": self.parameters["temperature"]},
            huggingfacehub_api_token=token
        )

        # … then build your agent as before …
        self.agent = initialize_agent(
            tools,
            self.llm,
            agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
            verbose=True,
        )

Because HuggingFaceHub subclasses BaseLanguageModel, PyCharm will be happy and you get first-class integration with LangChain.

---

2) Adapter your custom wrapper to BaseLanguageModel

If you really need your HuggingFaceAPI class (e.g. it handles retries, custom logging, etc.), you can write a thin adapter that implements the two required methods (_call and _generate). For example:

from langchain.schema import BaseLanguageModel, LLMResult, Generation
from typing import List, Optional
import threading

class HFAdapter(BaseLanguageModel):
    """Wraps your HuggingFaceAPI so it implements BaseLanguageModel."""
    def __init__(self, hf_api: HuggingFaceAPI):
        super().__init__()
        self.hf_api = hf_api

    def _call(self, prompt: str, stop: Optional[List[str]] = None) -> str:
        # Single‐prompt, single‐string response
        return self.hf_api.invoke(prompt)

    def _generate(
        self,
        prompts: List[str],
        stop: Optional[List[str]] = None,
        run_manager=None
    ) -> LLMResult:
        # Simple concurrent invocation if you like, or sequential
        generations = []
        for p in prompts:
            text = self.hf_api.invoke(p)
            generations.append([Generation(text=text)])
        return LLMResult(generations=generations)

# … in _initialize_config …
self.llm = HFAdapter(HuggingFaceAPI(
    api_url=config["API"]["model_url"],
    api_token=HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN
))

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools,
    self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    verbose=True,
)

Now self.llm is an actual BaseLanguageModel and the agent builder will type‐check without errors.

---

Pick the approach that best fits your needs:

• If you just need a drop-in HF LLM with no extra bells & whistles, go with (1).
• If you need your custom wrapper’s behavior, go with (2) and adapter-ize it.

    if not input_text:

    }

You’re seeing that PyCharm hint because initialize_agent() is typed to take a BaseLanguageModel (or subclass), but your HuggingFaceAPI extends Runnable instead. The cleanest fix is to wrap your existing wrapper in a tiny adapter that does subclass LangChain’s BaseLanguageModel. Here’s how:

adapters.py

from typing import List, Optional
from langchain.schema import BaseLanguageModel, LLMResult, Generation
from your_module import HuggingFaceAPI

class HFAdapter(BaseLanguageModel):
    """Adapts your HuggingFaceAPI Runnable into a BaseLanguageModel."""
    def __init__(self, hf_api: HuggingFaceAPI):
        super().__init__()
        self.hf_api = hf_api

    def _call(self, prompt: str, stop: Optional[List[str]] = None) -> str:
        # we pass the prompt directly; your invoke handles both dict or str
        return self.hf_api.invoke(prompt)

    def _generate(
        self,
        prompts: List[str],
        stop: Optional[List[str]] = None,
        run_manager=None
    ) -> LLMResult:
        # Batch‐generate for multi‐prompt calls
        all_gens = []
        for p in prompts:
            text = self.hf_api.invoke(p)
            all_gens.append([Generation(text=text)])
        return LLMResult(generations=all_gens)

Then, in your ChatManager._initialize_config, swap in the adapter:

from adapters import HFAdapter

class ChatManager:
    def _initialize_config(self):
        load_dotenv()
        HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN = os.getenv("HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN")
        model_url = config["API"]["model_url"]

        # 1) keep using your custom wrapper under the hood
        raw_hf = HuggingFaceAPI(api_url=model_url, api_token=HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN)

        # 2) adapt it to LangChain’s LLM interface
        self.llm = HFAdapter(raw_hf)

        # 3) initialize RAG retriever as before…
        #    (your existing SentenceTransformer + RagRetrieveWithMeta code)

        # 4) then register your live‐data tools and build the agent
        from langchain.agents import Tool, initialize_agent, AgentType
        import requests

        def fetch_sensor(region: str) -> dict:
            return requests.get(
                f"{os.getenv('SENSOR_API_URL')}/latest?region={region}"
            ).json()

        def fetch_satellite(region: str) -> dict:
            return requests.get(
                f"{os.getenv('SAT_API_URL')}/summary?region={region}"
            ).json()

        tools = [
            Tool(
                name="get_sensor_data",
                func=fetch_sensor,
                description="Returns latest sensor readings for a region."
            ),
            Tool(
                name="get_satellite_data",
                func=fetch_satellite,
                description="Returns recent satellite summary for a region."
            ),
        ]

        # Now PyCharm will see that self.llm is a BaseLanguageModel
        self.agent = initialize_agent(
            tools,
            self.llm,
            agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
            verbose=True,
        )

Why this works

• Type safety: HFAdapter is a true BaseLanguageModel, so initialize_agent’s signature is satisfied.
• No change to your wrapper: all of your custom retry logic, logging, etc. stays in HuggingFaceAPI.
• Plug‐and‐play: downstream code (self.agent.run(…)) remains exactly the same.

---

If you ever only need a one‐liner (and don’t mind ignoring the PyCharm warning), you could also do:

# cheat by casting:
self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools,
    self.llm,  # type: ignore[arg-type]
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    verbose=True,
)

—but the adapter approach is cleaner for production.

You

so all my llm calls are now going through the adapter?

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

Yes—once you do

raw_hf = HuggingFaceAPI(...)
self.llm = HFAdapter(raw_hf)

then any call that LangChain makes to your LLM (e.g. inside the Agent) will go through HFAdapter._call or HFAdapter._generate, which in turn calls your original HuggingFaceAPI.invoke.

---

What about your existing .invoke(...) calls?

Right now your generate_tree_thoughts(...), generate_tree_response(...), etc. all call self.llm.invoke(...) directly. Those calls will still hit the original HuggingFaceAPI.invoke, because HFAdapter doesn’t define its own .invoke.

If you want all of your LLM traffic—both Agent-driven and your manual .invoke(...) calls—to go through the adapter (and thus uniformly use LangChain’s interface), you have two options:

1. Add an invoke alias to the adapter

   class HFAdapter(BaseLanguageModel):
       # … existing _call / _generate …
   
       def invoke(self, prompt: str, **kwargs) -> str:
           # simply pass through to our standard LangChain call
           return self._call(prompt)

   Now both agent.run(...) and self.llm.invoke(...) will funnel through your adapter → into HuggingFaceAPI.invoke.

2. Refactor your ChatManager to use the LangChain interface
   Instead of .invoke(), switch your code to call:

   # single prompt
   answer = self.llm(prompt)            # calls BaseLanguageModel.__call__ → _call
   # or for batched prompts
   result = self.llm.generate([prompt]) # calls _generate
   text = result.generations[0][0].text

   That way you’re fully “LangChain-native,” and you don’t need to inject an invoke method at all.

---

In practice

If you just want minimal changes, go with (1)—add the invoke shim to HFAdapter—so nothing else in your ChatManager has to change. After that, every LLM call, whether it’s from the Agent or your raw .invoke, will run through the adapter → your HuggingFaceAPI wrapper.

You’re running into Python’s ABC machinery telling you that your HFAdapter hasn’t yet satisfied all of the abstract methods required by LangChain’s BaseLanguageModel. The quickest way to satisfy them is to subclass LangChain’s own LLM base class (which already implements most of those methods for you) and then:

1. Provide the one property it needs:

   @property
   def _llm_type(self) -> str:
       return "hf_adapter"

2. Implement its two core hooks:

   def _call(self, prompt: str, stop=None) -> str:
       return self.hf_api.invoke(prompt)
   
   def _generate(
       self,
       prompts: List[str],
       stop=None,
       run_manager=None
   ) -> LLMResult:
       gens = []
       for p in prompts:
           text = self.hf_api.invoke(p)
           gens.append([Generation(text=text)])
       return LLMResult(generations=gens)

3. (Optionally) add back an .invoke() alias so your old code still works unchanged:

   def invoke(self, prompt: str, **kwargs) -> str:
       return self._call(prompt, **kwargs)

Putting that all together, your adapter becomes:

adapters.py

from typing import List, Optional
from langchain.llms.base import LLM
from langchain.schema import LLMResult, Generation
from your_module import HuggingFaceAPI

class HFAdapter(LLM):
    """Wraps your HuggingFaceAPI Runnable into a LangChain LLM."""
    def __init__(self, hf_api: HuggingFaceAPI):
        super().__init__()
        self.hf_api = hf_api

    @property
    def _llm_type(self) -> str:
        return "hf_adapter"

    def _call(self, prompt: str, stop: Optional[List[str]] = None) -> str:
        return self.hf_api.invoke(prompt)

    def _generate(
        self,
        prompts: List[str],
        stop: Optional[List[str]] = None,
        run_manager=None
    ) -> LLMResult:
        gens = []
        for p in prompts:
            text = self.hf_api.invoke(p)
            gens.append([Generation(text=text)])
        return LLMResult(generations=gens)

    # Optional: so you don’t have to refactor all your .invoke() calls
    def invoke(self, prompt: str, **kwargs) -> str:
        return self._call(prompt, **kwargs)

Then in your ChatManager._initialize_config:

from adapters import HFAdapter

class ChatManager:
    def _initialize_config(self):
        # … load ENV, YAML, etc …
        raw_hf = HuggingFaceAPI(api_url=model_url, api_token=HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN)
        self.llm = HFAdapter(raw_hf)

        # … initialize your RAG retriever …

        # now register your Tools + agent
        from langchain.agents import Tool, initialize_agent, AgentType
        import requests

        def fetch_sensor(region: str) -> dict:
            return requests.get(
                f"{os.getenv('SENSOR_API_URL')}/latest?region={region}"
            ).json()

        def fetch_satellite(region: str) -> dict:
            return requests.get(
                f"{os.getenv('SAT_API_URL')}/summary?region={region}"
            ).json()

        tools = [
            Tool(
                name="get_sensor_data",
                func=fetch_sensor,
                description="Returns latest sensor readings for a region."
            ),
            Tool(
                name="get_satellite_data",
                func=fetch_satellite,
                description="Returns recent satellite summary for a region."
            ),
        ]

        self.agent = initialize_agent(
            tools,
            self.llm,
            agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
            verbose=True,
        )

Now:

• PyCharm will see self.llm as a concrete BaseLanguageModel and stop complaining.
• Your Agent can call into that same adapter, which in turn delegates to your original HuggingFaceAPI.invoke.
• Your old .invoke(...) calls in generate_tree_response etc. will still work unmodified.

Below is a drop-in replacement for your HFAdapter which implements all of the abstract methods that LangChain’s BaseLanguageModel interface currently requires, so that both PyCharm’s type checker and the Python ABC machinery are satisfied. Paste this in place of your existing adapter:

adapters.py

from typing import List, Optional, Union
from langchain.schema import (
    BaseLanguageModel,
    LLMResult,
    Generation,
    PromptValue,
    ChatPromptValue,
    ChatMessage,
)
from your_module import HuggingFaceAPI  # adjust to your import path

class HFAdapter(BaseLanguageModel):
    """Wraps your HuggingFaceAPI Runnable into a concrete BaseLanguageModel."""

    def __init__(self, hf_api: HuggingFaceAPI):
        super().__init__()
        self.hf_api = hf_api

    @property
    def _llm_type(self) -> str:
        return "hf_adapter"

    # ——— core sync methods ———

    def _call(self, prompt: str, stop: Optional[List[str]] = None) -> str:
        return self.hf_api.invoke(prompt)

    def _generate(
        self,
        prompts: List[str],
        stop: Optional[List[str]] = None,
        run_manager=None
    ) -> LLMResult:
        generations = []
        for p in prompts:
            text = self.hf_api.invoke(p)
            generations.append([Generation(text=text)])
        return LLMResult(generations=generations)

    # ——— the “convenience” methods your old code and LangChain expect ———

    def invoke(self, prompt: str, **kwargs) -> str:
        """So your existing .invoke(...) calls still work."""
        return self._call(prompt, **kwargs)

    def predict(self, text: str, **kwargs) -> str:
        return self._call(text, **kwargs)

    async def apredict(self, text: str, **kwargs) -> str:
        return self._call(text, **kwargs)

    def predict_messages(self, messages: List[ChatMessage], **kwargs) -> str:
        # Flatten a list of ChatMessage → single string
        combined = "".join(m.content for m in messages)
        return self._call(combined, **kwargs)

    async def apredict_messages(self, messages: List[ChatMessage], **kwargs) -> str:
        combined = "".join(m.content for m in messages)
        return self._call(combined, **kwargs)

    def generate_prompt(
        self,
        prompt: Union[PromptValue, ChatPromptValue, str],
        **kwargs
    ) -> LLMResult:
        # Accept either PromptValue or raw str
        p = prompt.to_string() if hasattr(prompt, "to_string") else str(prompt)
        return self._generate([p], **kwargs)

    async def agenerate_prompt(
        self,
        prompt: Union[PromptValue, ChatPromptValue, str],
        **kwargs
    ) -> LLMResult:
        p = prompt.to_string() if hasattr(prompt, "to_string") else str(prompt)
        return self._generate([p], **kwargs)

What changed

1. Subclass BaseLanguageModel so it conforms to LangChain’s agent API.
2. Implemented every abstract method (predict, apredict, predict_messages, agenerate_prompt, etc.) by delegating down to your original hf_api.invoke or to the _call/_generate pair.
3. Kept your old .invoke() semantics intact so you don’t have to refactor the rest of your ChatManager.

---

Then, in your _initialize_config:

from adapters import HFAdapter

class ChatManager:
    def _initialize_config(self):
        # … load env, YAML, etc …
        raw_hf = HuggingFaceAPI(api_url=model_url, api_token=HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN)
        self.llm = HFAdapter(raw_hf)

        # … your RAG init …

        from langchain.agents import Tool, initialize_agent, AgentType
        import requests

        def fetch_sensor(region: str) -> dict:
            return requests.get(
                f"{os.getenv('SENSOR_API_URL')}/latest?region={region}"
            ).json()

        def fetch_satellite(region: str) -> dict:
            return requests.get(
                f"{os.getenv('SAT_API_URL')}/summary?region={region}"
            ).json()

        tools = [
            Tool(
                name="get_sensor_data",
                func=fetch_sensor,
                description="Returns latest sensor readings for the given region."
            ),
            Tool(
                name="get_satellite_data",
                func=fetch_satellite,
                description="Returns recent satellite summary for the given region."
            ),
        ]

        self.agent = initialize_agent(
            tools,
            self.llm,  # now a true BaseLanguageModel
            agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
            verbose=True,
        )

With this in place:

• No more TypeError: HFAdapter is concrete.
• PyCharm is happy: self.llm truly satisfies the BaseLanguageModel interface.
• Your existing .invoke(...) calls work alongside all Agent-driven calls.

Give that a shot and the ABC errors should vanish. Let me know if anything else pops up!

Your error is coming from Pydantic’s model validation: by subclassing LangChain’s LLM (which itself is a Pydantic model), any attribute you assign in __init__ must be declared in the class schema. Since hf_api isn’t a Pydantic field, __setattr__ rejects it.

The fix is to mark it as a PrivateAttr so Pydantic lets you stash it without treating it as part of the schema. Here’s a drop-in replacement for your adapter:

adapters.py

from typing import List, Optional, Union
from pydantic import PrivateAttr
from langchain.llms.base import LLM
from langchain.schema import LLMResult, Generation, PromptValue, ChatPromptValue, ChatMessage
from your_module import HuggingFaceAPI  # adjust this import

class HFAdapter(LLM):
    """Wraps your HuggingFaceAPI Runnable into a concrete BaseLanguageModel."""
    # Declare a private attribute to hold the real API wrapper
    _hf_api: HuggingFaceAPI = PrivateAttr()

    def __init__(self, hf_api: HuggingFaceAPI, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)
        # store it here
        self._hf_api = hf_api

    @property
    def _llm_type(self) -> str:
        return "hf_adapter"

    def _call(self, prompt: str, stop: Optional[List[str]] = None) -> str:
        return self._hf_api.invoke(prompt)

    def _generate(
        self,
        prompts: List[str],
        stop: Optional[List[str]] = None,
        run_manager=None
    ) -> LLMResult:
        generations = []
        for p in prompts:
            text = self._hf_api.invoke(p)
            generations.append([Generation(text=text)])
        return LLMResult(generations=generations)

    # Convenience methods so your existing code still works unchanged

    def invoke(self, prompt: str, **kwargs) -> str:
        return self._call(prompt, **kwargs)

    def predict(self, text: str, **kwargs) -> str:
        return self._call(text, **kwargs)

    async def apredict(self, text: str, **kwargs) -> str:
        return self._call(text, **kwargs)

    def predict_messages(self, messages: List[ChatMessage], **kwargs) -> str:
        combined = "".join(m.content for m in messages)
        return self._call(combined, **kwargs)

    async def apredict_messages(self, messages: List[ChatMessage], **kwargs) -> str:
        combined = "".join(m.content for m in messages)
        return self._call(combined, **kwargs)

    def generate_prompt(
        self,
        prompt: Union[PromptValue, ChatPromptValue, str],
        **kwargs
    ) -> LLMResult:
        p = prompt.to_string() if hasattr(prompt, "to_string") else str(prompt)
        return self._generate([p], **kwargs)

    async def agenerate_prompt(
        self,
        prompt: Union[PromptValue, ChatPromptValue, str],
        **kwargs
    ) -> LLMResult:
        p = prompt.to_string() if hasattr(prompt, "to_string") else str(prompt)
        return self._generate([p], **kwargs)

With this:

• _hf_api is a PrivateAttr, so Pydantic won’t try to validate it.
• You still call self._hf_api.invoke(...) internally.
• Downstream, PyCharm and the Python ABC machinery see a concrete BaseLanguageModel, and your .invoke calls continue to work.

Just swap your existing HFAdapter for the above, rebuild, and the “no field ‘hf_api’” error will disappear.

Pydantic is still blocking you because any normal self._hf_api = hf_api hits its custom __setattr__. You can work around it by either

1. Using object.__setattr__ (bypasses Pydantic’s validator), or
2. Declaring your private attr via __private_attributes__ explicitly.

The simplest patch is this:

adapters.py

from typing import List, Optional, Union
from pydantic import PrivateAttr
from langchain.llms.base import LLM
from langchain.schema import (
    LLMResult, Generation,
    PromptValue, ChatPromptValue, ChatMessage
)
from your_module import HuggingFaceAPI

class HFAdapter(LLM):
    """Wraps your HuggingFaceAPI Runnable into a concrete BaseLanguageModel."""

    # 1) Declare a private attr (this tells Pydantic “OK, this is legit”)
    _hf_api: HuggingFaceAPI = PrivateAttr()

    def __init__(self, hf_api: HuggingFaceAPI, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)
        # 2) Bypass Pydantic __setattr__ so it won’t complain
        object.__setattr__(self, "_hf_api", hf_api)

    @property
    def _llm_type(self) -> str:
        return "hf_adapter"

    def _call(self, prompt: str, stop: Optional[List[str]] = None) -> str:
        return self._hf_api.invoke(prompt)

    def _generate(
        self,
        prompts: List[str],
        stop: Optional[List[str]] = None,
        run_manager=None
    ) -> LLMResult:
        gens = []
        for p in prompts:
            text = self._hf_api.invoke(p)
            gens.append([Generation(text=text)])
        return LLMResult(generations=gens)

    # convenience methods so your existing .invoke() usages still work
    def invoke(self, prompt: str, **kwargs) -> str:
        return self._call(prompt, **kwargs)
    def predict(self, text: str, **kwargs) -> str:
        return self._call(text, **kwargs)
    async def apredict(self, text: str, **kwargs) -> str:
        return self._call(text, **kwargs)
    def predict_messages(self, messages: List[ChatMessage], **kwargs) -> str:
        return self._call("".join(m.content for m in messages), **kwargs)
    async def apredict_messages(self, messages: List[ChatMessage], **kwargs) -> str:
        return self._call("".join(m.content for m in messages), **kwargs)
    def generate_prompt(
        self,
        prompt: Union[PromptValue, ChatPromptValue, str],
        **kwargs
    ) -> LLMResult:
        p = prompt.to_string() if hasattr(prompt, "to_string") else str(prompt)
        return self._generate([p], **kwargs)
    async def agenerate_prompt(
        self,
        prompt: Union[PromptValue, ChatPromptValue, str],
        **kwargs
    ) -> LLMResult:
        p = prompt.to_string() if hasattr(prompt, "to_string") else str(prompt)
        return self._generate([p], **kwargs)

Why this fixes it

• PrivateAttr() in the class body registers _hf_api as a valid private attribute.
• object.__setattr__ circumvents Pydantic’s overridden __setattr__ so you can actually store your wrapper there.

With that in place, you’ll no longer see the “no field _hf_api” error, and your agent + adapter wiring should work end-to-end.

ok it finally worked. Can you now show me what to do with th agent?

Here’s a concrete example of how to wire your self.agent into your existing generate_tree_response method. You’ll:

1. Leave your validation, classification, RAG retrieval, and “think” step unchanged
2. Call the Agent right after your internal thoughts to fetch any live data
3. Merge RAG + live data into your final prompt
4. Invoke the HFAdapter LLM exactly as before

import json
from langchain.agents import Tool, initialize_agent, AgentType

class ChatManager:
    # … your existing init/_initialize_config where self.agent is built …

    @spaces.GPU()

        validation = self.validate_question(…)
        if validation in ("invalid", "error"):
            return history + [(question, self.error_message)], ""

        # 1) Classify
        classifications = self.classify_question(question, self.prompts["hop_classification"]["template"])

        # 2) RAG Retrieval + Filtering
        retrieved_info, retrieved_meta = self.retrieve_information(question, classifications)
        cleaned_info, cleaned_meta = self.filter_rag_data_by_keywords(

            for mode, docs in cleaned_info.items()

        self.process_step += 1

        return history + [(question, clean_answer)], ""

What’s happening here?

• After your “think” step (tree_thoughts), you give the agent only those thoughts plus a reminder of available tools and the current region.
• The agent’s natural language reasoning will (if needed) spit out something like:

  {"temperature": 22.5, "humidity": 78}

  or {} if no fresh data is required.
• You parse that JSON and append it to your RAG‐snippet string.
• Finally you pass the merged info into your original tree_response template, exactly as before.

That way your Tree correspondent still does its internal reasoning, still draws on your scientific/satellite RAG store, and now—only when it wants—it will fetch live sensor/satellite data via self.agent.

I am encountering a weird issue with formatting the agent prompt

Error in generate_tree_response at RAG or after: Replacement index 0 out of range for positional args tuple

here is the prompt:

agent: template: | You are a data-agent for the Tree correspondent.

  Based on the journalist's Question, decide whether you need live weather data from the installed sensors.

  Question:
  {question}

  If you need live data, call get_sensor_data(region) with the current region.

  Otherwise, return `{}`.

  Current region:
  {region}

  ### OUTPUT: only the JSON of fetched data.

an here is how i try to call it

agent_prompt_template = self.prompts[‘agent’][‘template’] print(agent_prompt_template) print(question) print(region)

        agent_prompt = agent_prompt_template.format(question=question, region=region)

This error is happening because in Python’s str.format(), any bare {} is interpreted as a positional placeholder (index 0), but you only passed named args (question and region), so it blows up with “Replacement index 0 out of range.” You need to escape the braces you want to appear literally in your template.

How to fix

In your YAML template, change this line:

Otherwise, return `{}`.

to

Otherwise, return `{{}}`.

By doubling the braces ({{ / }}), you tell Python “I literally want { or } here,” and format() will leave them intact, producing exactly {} in the final prompt.

Updated prompt snippet

agent:

Now your Python call:

agent_prompt = agent_prompt_template.format(question=question, region=region)

will succeed, and agent_prompt will contain a literal {} in the “Otherwise, return {}” line.

You’re hitting two separate issues:

1. Your adapter’s generate_prompt signature doesn’t match what LangChain’s agent expects (it’s being passed a second positional arg, e.g. a stop list).
2. Using agent.run(...) with a bare positional makes LangChain’s callback handler see args=None (so args.get blows up).

---

A) Fix the adapter’s generate_prompt signature

In your HFAdapter, change:

def generate_prompt(
    self,
    prompt: Union[PromptValue, ChatPromptValue, str],
    **kwargs
) -> LLMResult:
    p = prompt.to_string() if hasattr(prompt, "to_string") else str(prompt)
    return self._generate([p], **kwargs)

to this:

from typing import List, Optional, Union
from langchain.schema import LLMResult, Generation, PromptValue, ChatPromptValue, ChatMessage
from langchain.llms.base import LLM
from pydantic import PrivateAttr

class HFAdapter(LLM):
    _hf_api: HuggingFaceAPI = PrivateAttr()

    def __init__(self, hf_api: HuggingFaceAPI, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)
        object.__setattr__(self, "_hf_api", hf_api)

    @property
    def _llm_type(self) -> str:
        return "hf_adapter"

    def _call(self, prompt: str, stop: Optional[List[str]] = None) -> str:
        return self._hf_api.invoke(prompt)

    def _generate(
        self,
        prompts: List[str],
        stop: Optional[List[str]] = None,
        run_manager=None
    ) -> LLMResult:
        gens = []
        for p in prompts:
            text = self._hf_api.invoke(p)
            gens.append([Generation(text=text)])
        return LLMResult(generations=gens)

    # … your other convenience methods …

    def generate_prompt(
        self,
        prompt: Union[PromptValue, ChatPromptValue, str],
        stop: Optional[List[str]] = None,       # <- add this positional
        **kwargs
    ) -> LLMResult:
        """Called by Agent under the hood—must accept `stop` as a second arg."""
        p = prompt.to_string() if hasattr(prompt, "to_string") else str(prompt)
        return self._generate([p], stop=stop, **kwargs)

    async def agenerate_prompt(
        self,
        prompt: Union[PromptValue, ChatPromptValue, str],
        stop: Optional[List[str]] = None,
        **kwargs
    ) -> LLMResult:
        p = prompt.to_string() if hasattr(prompt, "to_string") else str(prompt)
        return self._generate([p], stop=stop, **kwargs)

By accepting stop as a second positional, you’ll avoid the “takes 2 positional args but 3 were given” error.

---

B) Switch from agent.run(...) to agent.invoke(input=…)

Replace:

raw_live = self.agent.run(agent_prompt)

with the new API and keyword syntax:

raw_live = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)

• .invoke() is the new preferred entrypoint.
• Passing it as a keyword (input=…) ensures that the callback handler gets a proper args dict (so args.get("input") no longer crashes).

---

Putting it all together

In your generate_tree_response, do:

# …
# after tree_thoughts is computed:

# ⚙️ Use the new invoke API:
raw_live = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)
print("AGENT raw live data:", raw_live)
# …

And make sure your HFAdapter has the updated generate_prompt signature above. After that, the agent should be able to:

1. Parse your prompt
2. Decide to call get_sensor_data(region=…)
3. Return valid JSON
4. Let you merge it with RAG
5. And finally produce your tree’s answer—without any more signature or callback errors.

Here’s the updated pair of methods you need in your HFAdapter so that LangChain’s agent will invoke them correctly:

from typing import List, Optional, Union
from langchain.schema import LLMResult, PromptValue, ChatPromptValue
from langchain.llms.base import LLM

class HFAdapter(LLM):
    # … your _call, _generate, PrivateAttr, etc. …

    def generate_prompt(
        self,
        prompt: Union[PromptValue, ChatPromptValue, str],
        stop: Optional[List[str]] = None,   # ← must accept this second positional
        **kwargs
    ) -> LLMResult:
        """Called by the Agent under the hood."""
        p = prompt.to_string() if hasattr(prompt, "to_string") else str(prompt)
        return self._generate([p], stop=stop, **kwargs)

    async def agenerate_prompt(
        self,
        prompt: Union[PromptValue, ChatPromptValue, str],
        stop: Optional[List[str]] = None,   # ← same here
        **kwargs
    ) -> LLMResult:
        p = prompt.to_string() if hasattr(prompt, "to_string") else str(prompt)
        return self._generate([p], stop=stop, **kwargs)

Key points:

• You have to include the stop: Optional[List[str]] = None parameter as the second argument (positional) so the Agent’s internal calls don’t mis‐align your signature.
• Everything else delegates straight back to your _generate(...) implementation.

You actually need to fix two things at once:

1. Stop using agent.run(...) with a bare positional string — switch to the new .invoke(...) API so that LangChain’s callback machinery gets a proper inputs dict.
2. Make your adapter’s _generate() (and generate_prompt) accept the extra callbacks (and any other) kwargs that the Agent will pass in.

---

1) In your generate_tree_response, use invoke not run

Replace:

raw_live = self.agent.run(agent_prompt)

with:

raw_live = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)

This ensures that the StdOutCallbackHandler (and friends) sees an inputs dict ({"input": agent_prompt}) instead of None.

---

2) Update your adapter’s _generate and generate_prompt signatures

In your HFAdapter, change:

    def _generate(
        self,
        prompts: List[str],
        stop: Optional[List[str]] = None,
        run_manager=None
    ) -> LLMResult:
        …

to something like:

    def _generate(
        self,
        prompts: List[str],
        stop: Optional[List[str]] = None,
        callbacks: Optional[list] = None,
        run_manager=None,
        **kwargs
    ) -> LLMResult:
        """Accepts whatever the Agent passes (callbacks, etc.) and ignores extras."""
        gens = []
        for p in prompts:
            text = self._hf_api.invoke(p)
            gens.append([Generation(text=text)])
        return LLMResult(generations=gens)

And make sure your generate_prompt also swallows callbacks:

    def generate_prompt(
        self,
        prompt: Union[PromptValue, ChatPromptValue, str],
        stop: Optional[List[str]] = None,
        callbacks: Optional[list] = None,
        **kwargs
    ) -> LLMResult:
        text = prompt.to_string() if hasattr(prompt, "to_string") else str(prompt)
        return self._generate([text], stop=stop, callbacks=callbacks, **kwargs)

(and likewise for agenerate_prompt).

---

With those two fixes:

• agent.invoke(input=...) guarantees inputs isn’t None (so your callbacks won’t crash on inputs.get).
• Your adapter will happily accept the extra callbacks param (and any other kwargs) instead of blowing up with “unexpected keyword argument.”

Give that a shot and the agent should fire off your get_sensor_data(...) tool, return JSON, and let you merge it into your final prompt without any more signature or callback errors.

You

what is this

Error in StdOutCallbackHandler.on_chain_start callback: AttributeError(“‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘get’”) Error in generate_tree_response at RAG or after: An output parsing error occurred. In order to pass this error back to the agent and have it try again, pass handle_parsing_errors=True to the AgentExecutor. This is the error: Could not parse LLM output: ` Okay, let me try to figure out how to approach this. The user is asking me to act as a data-agent for a journalist. My task is to determine if I need live weather data from the sensors based on the journalist’s question. If I do, I should call the get_sensor_data function with the current region, which is Brazil/Viçosa. If not, I just return an empty JSON.

First, I need to understand the journalist’s question. The question given is “hello!” That’s pretty vague. It doesn’t specify what kind of information is needed. Since it’s just a greeting, it doesn’t seem to require any specific data, especially weather data.

I should consider whether “hello!” implies a need for weather information. Maybe the journalist is starting a conversation and will follow up with more specific questions. But based solely on “hello!”, there’s no indication that live weather data is needed.

If I were to assume that the journalist might need weather data, I could call get_sensor_data(“Brazil/Viçosa”). But without a specific request, that might be unnecessary. It’s better to wait for a more detailed question before fetching data.

So, in this case, since the question is too generic and doesn’t ask for any specific information, I don’t need to fetch live weather data. Therefore, I should return an empty JSON as instructed.

You’re seeing two layers of errors here:

---

1)

Error in StdOutCallbackHandler.on_chain_start callback: AttributeError("'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'")

What it means:
LangChain’s agent callbacks expect every call to come through .invoke(input=…) so that they receive an inputs dict. If you still call .run(prompt) or otherwise pass None for inputs, the callback tries to do inputs.get(...) and blows up because inputs is None.

How to fix:
Always call your agent with the new API:

# ❌ bad
raw_live = self.agent.run(agent_prompt)

# ✅ good
raw_live = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)

---

2)

An output parsing error occurred. … Could not parse LLM output: `<think>… JSON …`

What it means:
Under the hood, the Agent is trying to pull a JSON blob out of your model’s output, but the LLM wrapped its “thinking” <think>…</think> and the triple-backtick code block around it, so the parser couldn’t find a clean JSON string to parse. When that happens, LangChain surfaces an “output parsing error.”

How to fix:
You need to ensure the only thing your model emits in the final turn is pure JSON. A few strategies:

1. Tighten the prompt so it explicitly forbids any extra text or tags:

   ### OUTPUT: Return exactly the JSON object, nothing else—no code fences, no `<think>` tags.

2. Use handle_parsing_errors=True when you initialize your agent, so that on a parse failure it will automatically retry once:

   from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, AgentType
   
   self.agent = initialize_agent(
       tools,
       self.llm,
       agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
       verbose=True,
       handle_parsing_errors=True,    # ← retry on parse errors
   )

3. Strip out everything except the JSON before handing to your JSON loader:

   raw = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)
   # remove anything before first `{` and after last `}`
   json_str = raw[raw.find("{"): raw.rfind("}")+1]
   live_data = json.loads(json_str)

---

Putting it together

# 1) Init agent with parsing‐error handling
self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools,
    self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    verbose=True,
    handle_parsing_errors=True,
)

# …

# 2) In your generate_tree_response
agent_prompt = self.prompts["agent"]["template"].format(
    question=question, region=self.region
)

# ⚠️ use invoke, not run
raw_live = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)

# 3) Clean it to pure JSON
clean = raw_live
if not clean.strip().startswith("{"):
    clean = clean[clean.find("{"):clean.rfind("}")+1]
live_data = json.loads(clean)

With these changes:

• Your callbacks will see a proper inputs dict.
• The agent will either retry if it emits malformed JSON, or you’ll strip away any stray tags/code fences before parsing.
• You’ll end up with a clean live_data dict you can merge into your final prompt.

You

let’s start with the error. I DON”T have agent. run here is my code

So i son’t understand why i get the error in the first place.

That first error is coming from LangChain’s built-in StdOutCallbackHandler (which gets registered when you pass verbose=True into your agent). On every chain/start event it tries to do:

inputs = kwargs.get("inputs")
if inputs.get("input"):
    …

But in your case inputs is None, so inputs.get blows up.

---

Why inputs is coming through as None

Even though you’re calling:

raw_live = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)

under the hood the agent is spawning sub-chains (one per tool, one for the final LLM call), and those chains may be invoked with positional arguments rather than keyword args. The StdOutCallbackHandler only looks in kwargs["inputs"], so if the chain was called with a positional string rather than a dict, kwargs["inputs"] is absent and you get None.

---

Two quick workarounds

1) Turn off the StdOutCallbackHandler

If you don’t need that built-in console logging you can stop registering it by dropping verbose=True (or explicitly passing an empty callback list):

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools,
    self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    verbose=False,            # ← no StdOutCallbackHandler
    handle_parsing_errors=True
)

2) Always invoke the agent with a dict payload

Force every single chain start to get an inputs dict by calling:

# instead of agent.invoke(input=...)
raw_live = self.agent.invoke({"input": agent_prompt})

When invoke sees a single dict arg, it will treat that as the full inputs dict, so kwargs["inputs"] will be set to your dict and the callback’s inputs.get("input") will work.

---

Either of those will stop the "NoneType" object has no attribute 'get'" from bubbling up. Once that’s settled, we can turn our attention back to ensuring the agent emits clean JSON (or using handle_parsing_errors=True to let it retry on malformed output). Let me know which approach you’d like to try first!

You

ok no bugs now BUT i get this as the result of the agent

LIVE DATA {‘input’: “You are a data-agent for the Tree correspondent.\n\nBased on the journalist’s Question, decide whether you need live weather data from the installed sensors.\n\nQuestion:\nhello!\n\nIf you need live data, call get_sensor_data(region) with the current region.\n\nOtherwise, return {}.\n\nCurrent region:\nCzechia/Travný\n\n### OUTPUT: only the JSON of fetched data.\n”, ‘output’: ‘Agent stopped due to iteration limit or time limit.’}

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

When you call

raw_live = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)

under the hood LangChain’s new invoke will return a dict like:

{"input": <what you passed in>, "output": <what the LLM returned>}

—and in your case the agent never found anything to do and simply exhausted its iteration limit.

---

1) Pull out the actual LLM response

Right now you’re printing the entire dict. Instead, do:

result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)
# if it’s a dict, grab the “output” field,
# otherwise assume it’s already a string
raw_live = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result
print("AGENT RAW LIVE:", raw_live)

Then raw_live will be the string the agent produced (e.g. "Agent stopped due to iteration limit or time limit.").

---

2) Force the agent to stop after one pass

By default ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION will loop for a few iterations trying tools and re-thinking. You can cap it to a single LLM call so it either emits a tool call or a JSON right away:

from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, AgentType

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools,
    self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    verbose=False,               # turns off the StdOutCallbackHandler errors
    handle_parsing_errors=True,  # retry once if it outputs bad JSON
    max_iterations=1             # ← only one pass
)

---

3) Make your prompt unambiguous

Even better, simplify your agent prompt so there’s no question about what to output. For example, in your YAML:

agent:
  template: |
    You are a data-agent that *only* decides if live sensor data is needed.
    Question: {question}
    Region: {region}

    - If live data is needed, call **get_sensor_data**(region) and output exactly:
      {"tool": "get_sensor_data", "args": {"region": "<region>"}}

    - Otherwise, output exactly the empty JSON: {}

    **Nothing else**. The response must be valid JSON.

Then in code:

agent_prompt = self.prompts["agent"]["template"].format(
    question=question, region=self.region
)
result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)
raw_live = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result

# strip anything outside the braces:
clean = raw_live.strip()
if not clean.startswith("{"):
    clean = clean[clean.find("{"): clean.rfind("}")+1]

try:
    live_data = json.loads(clean)
except json.JSONDecodeError:
    live_data = {}

---

What you’ll get

• With max_iterations=1 and a rock-solid prompt, the agent will either emit

  {"tool":"get_sensor_data","args":{"region":"Brazil/Viçosa"}}

  (when needed)
  or

  {}

  in a single shot.
• You then parse that JSON into live_data and merge it with your RAG blob for the final LLM answer.
• No more “iteration limit” messages, and you’re in control of exactly what the agent outputs.

You

ok now it print this

LIVE DATA Agent stopped due to iteration limit or time limit.

ChatGPT

The “Agent stopped due to iteration limit or time limit.” message means your ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION agent went through its little REACT‐loop, didn’t see any tool calls to make, hit its max_iterations, and then gave up rather than emitting your empty JSON. To fix that, you have two complementary strategies:

---

1) Force a single‐shot, generate‐only agent

When you build your agent, tell it to:

• Run only one iteration
• Stop by returning whatever it generated, rather than trying to think/observe again

from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, AgentType

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools,
    self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    verbose=False,               # turn off StdOutCallbackHandler
    handle_parsing_errors=True,  # retry once if JSON isn’t clean
    max_iterations=1,            # only one pass of think→tool→final
    early_stopping_method="generate",  # stop immediately after generate
)

With max_iterations=1 and early_stopping_method="generate", your agent will do exactly one LLM call and then return its output—no looping.

---

2) Tighten the prompt so it must emit JSON

Make the agent prompt absolutely explicit that it should not try to think or iterate. For example, in your YAML:

agent:
  template: |
    You are a data‐agent that ONLY decides if live sensor data is needed.
    Question: {question}
    Region: {region}

    RULES:
    1. You must output exactly one valid JSON object—nothing else: either
       - {}              (if no live data needed)
       - {"tool":"get_sensor_data","args":{"region":"<region>"}}
    2. Do NOT emit any <think> tags, markdown, or explanatory text.
    3. This is your FINAL and ONLY output.

Then:

agent_prompt = self.prompts["agent"]["template"].format(
    question=question, region=self.region
)
res = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)
raw_live = res["output"] if isinstance(res, dict) else res

---

3) Fallback‐to‐empty‐JSON in your code

Even with the above, it’s good practice to detect an iteration‐limit message and treat it as {} yourself:

# 1) invoke agent
result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)
raw_live = result.get("output") if isinstance(result, dict) else result

# 2) if we see the iteration‐limit banner, fall back
if "iteration limit" in raw_live.lower() or "time limit" in raw_live.lower():
    raw_live = "{}"

# 3) extract JSON
clean = raw_live.strip()
if not clean.startswith("{"):
    clean = clean[clean.find("{"):clean.rfind("}")+1]
try:
    live_data = json.loads(clean)
except json.JSONDecodeError:
    live_data = {}

---

With those three changes:

1. Agent only gets one go at generating output
2. Prompt forces it to emit exactly the JSON you want
3. Your code catches any stragglers and gracefully defaults to {}

You should never see the “iteration limit” message again—your agent will either return {} or the tool‐call JSON in a single shot.

You

ok now when i do ask it something that should call the tool a get this

i should provide a balanced response that includes both specific data and a vivid description to make it engaging. i’ll mention the wind speed, temperature, and any notable weather events, like the light rain earlier. i’ll also highlight how the weather affects my surroundings, such as the soil moisture and the presence of birds. this way, the answer feels natural and informative, fitting into our ongoing dialogue. Error in generate_tree_response at RAG or after: Could not parse LLM output: ` Okay, so I’m trying to figure out how to respond to this question. The user is a journalist asking about the current weather where I am, specifically in the region of Czechia/Travný. They mentioned that I’m a data-agent for the Tree correspondent, so I need to decide if I should fetch live weather data using the get_sensor_data tool.

First, I should understand the structure they want me to follow. It’s a series of Thought, Action, Action Input, Observation, and so on, ending with a Final Answer. They provided an example where the response was a JSON with the action and input, but it had a formatting issue.

In my case, the user’s question is about the current weather, so it makes sense that I need live data. Therefore, I should call the get_sensor_data function with the region Czechia/Travný. I should format this as a JSON response, ensuring that it’s correctly structured without any markdown.

Wait, in the previous example, the user tried to include the thought process within the JSON, which caused an invalid format. I should make sure that my response only includes the necessary JSON without any additional text. So, I’ll structure it properly with “Action” and “Action Input” keys.

I think that’s all. I don’t need to include any observations here since the user just wants the action to be called. So, the final response should be a JSON object with the action and the region as the input.

{ “Action”: “get_sensor_data”, “Action Input”: “Czechia/Travný” }`

right now i am returning a dummy json when the function is called that i define here:

example_json: | { “temperature”:“33” “wind_speed”:“24” “humidity”: “0.3” }

Below is a snippet showing how to take the agent’s JSON output (with "Action" and "Action Input"), turn that into a real call to your fetch_sensor or fetch_satellite functions, and then fold the result of that call back into your final prompt.

---

1) Expose your fetchers as methods and keep them around

In _initialize_config, after you define the local fetch_sensor and fetch_satellite, stash them on self so you can call them later:

class ChatManager:
    def _initialize_config(self):
        # … load LLM, RAG, etc …

        # define them locally …
        def fetch_sensor(region: str) -> dict:
            # Dummy or real API call
            return {"temperature": "33", "wind_speed": "24", "humidity": "0.3"}

        def fetch_satellite(region: str) -> dict:
            return {"ndvi": 0.67, "cloud_cover": 12}

        # then save them on self
        self.fetch_sensor = fetch_sensor
        self.fetch_satellite = fetch_satellite

        tools = [
            Tool(name="get_sensor_data", func=fetch_sensor, description="…"),
            Tool(name="get_satellite_data", func=fetch_satellite, description="…"),
        ]
        self.agent = initialize_agent(
            tools,
            self.llm,
            agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
            verbose=False,
            handle_parsing_errors=True,
            max_iterations=1,
            early_stopping_method="generate",
        )

---

2) In generate_tree_response, parse the agent’s JSON and dispatch

Replace your “Agent → merge” block with:

import json

# 4) Ask the agent for what to do
result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)
raw = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result

# 5) Safely extract the JSON
#    strip anything outside the first { … last } pair
s = raw.strip()
if "{" in s and "}" in s:
    s = s[s.find("{") : s.rfind("}")+1]
try:
    action_json = json.loads(s)
except json.JSONDecodeError:
    action_json = {}

tool = action_json.get("Action")
arg  = action_json.get("Action Input")

# 6) Call the real function if needed
if tool == "get_sensor_data" and arg:
    live_data = self.fetch_sensor(arg)
elif tool == "get_satellite_data" and arg:
    live_data = self.fetch_satellite(arg)
else:
    live_data = {}

# 7) Merge RAG + live
merged_info = flattened_rag
if live_data:
    merged_info += "\n\n[LIVE DATA]\n" + json.dumps(live_data, indent=2)

# 8) Final tree answer
final_template = self.instruction + self.prompts['tree_response']['template']
final_prompt = final_template.format(
    chat_history=formatted_history,
    question=question,
    retrieved_info=merged_info,
    tree_thoughts=tree_thoughts
)
raw_answer = self.llm.invoke(final_prompt).strip()
clean_answer = self.clean_text(raw_answer)

---

Why this works

1. The agent’s job is just to decide “Action” + “Action Input” in JSON form.
2. Your code sees that JSON, picks the right function (self.fetch_sensor or self.fetch_satellite), and actually invokes it.
3. You merge the real live data into your RAG‐plus‐thoughts prompt and call your LLM one last time.

This bypasses any finicky REACT parsing inside the agent, but still gives you dynamic, on‐demand tool‐calling exactly when the agent thinks it’s needed.

You

wait isn’t the whole point of having an agent to actually have the tools called automatically and get the results? why implement an agent if I will have to explicitly call the function?

ChatGPT

You’re absolutely right—a properly‐configured LangChain Agent will actually call your tools under the hood, so you never have to manually dispatch self.fetch_sensor yourself. You just ask the agent to call get_sensor_data(region=…) when needed, and it will:

1. Emit

   Thought: …
   Action: get_sensor_data
   Action Input: Czechia/Travný

2. Automatically pick up that Action, run tools["get_sensor_data"]("Czechia/Travný"), capture the JSON result, and feed it back into the chain as an Observation.
3. Use that Observation to produce a final answer—which, if you instruct it correctly, can be just the raw JSON.

All you need to do is:

---

1) Re-initialize the agent for automatic tool execution

from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, AgentType

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools,                   # your Tool(name="get_sensor_data", …) list
    self.llm,                # your HFAdapter
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    verbose=False,           # turn off noisy stdout callbacks
    handle_parsing_errors=True,  # retry once if it mangles its JSON
    max_iterations=2,           # allow one Thought→Action, one Final
    early_stopping_method="force"
    # ← this makes the chain call the tool and then return the tool’s output
)

• max_iterations=2 gives the agent one round to decide & call the tool, and a second to emit the final answer.
• early_stopping_method="force" tells it “after you call the tool, stop and return the tool’s result (not your own LLM text).”

---

2) Write a crystal‐clear agent prompt

agent:
  template: |
    You are a data‐agent for the Tree correspondent.
    Question: {question}
    Region: {region}

    RULES:
    1. If the journalist’s question requires live weather data, call the tool:
       Action: get_sensor_data
       Action Input: {region}
    2. Otherwise, do NOT call any tools and simply return the empty JSON: {}
    3. After calling a tool, do NOT add any extra text—just output the JSON returned by the tool.
    4. This is your FINAL answer.

---

3) Invoke the agent and grab the JSON

agent_prompt = self.prompts["agent"]["template"].format(
    question=question, region=self.region
)

# This will run Thought → Action → automatic tool call → Final Answer
raw_tool_output = self.agent.run(agent_prompt)

# Now raw_tool_output is literally the JSON from your fetch_sensor()
import json
live_data = json.loads(raw_tool_output)

---

4) Merge & finish

merged_info = flattened_rag
if live_data:
    merged_info += "\n\n[LIVE DATA]\n" + json.dumps(live_data, indent=2)

final_template = self.instruction + self.prompts['tree_response']['template']
final_prompt = final_template.format(
    chat_history=formatted_history,
    question=question,
    retrieved_info=merged_info,
    tree_thoughts=tree_thoughts
)

answer = self.llm.invoke(final_prompt)

---

With that:

• You never write self.fetch_sensor(...) in generate_tree_response.
• The agent sees your “Action: get_sensor_data” directive, calls the tool, and returns its output automatically.
• Your code only needs to .run() (or .invoke(input=…) in newer versions) and then json.loads the result.

That is the true power of LangChain Agents—you hand off the tool invocation to the framework and your code stays clean.

Yes—every time you do

agent_prompt_template.format(question=question, region=region)

any un-escaped { or } in the template will be treated as a placeholder by Python’s str.format, and you’ll get a “Replacement index out of range” or “single ‘{’ encountered” error.

How to put literal {} in a .format template

You have to double them:

• To render a single {, write {{ in your template.
• To render a single }, write }}.

So your YAML should say:

Otherwise, return `{{}}`.

When Python calls .format(...), {{}} in the template turns into a literal {} in the final prompt.

---

Example

template = "Call tool or else return {{}}."
print(template.format())
# → "Call tool or else return {}."

---

If you need more complex templating

• You can switch to string.Template (which uses $var syntax and doesn’t collide with {}).
• Or you can preprocess your template—e.g. build the prompt with f-strings or simple concatenation so you never call .format on the bits containing {}.

But in your case the simplest fix is just:

agent:
  template: |
    ...
    Otherwise, return `{{}}`.
    ...

That way agent_prompt = agent_prompt_template.format(question=…, region=…) will succeed, and the actual LLM prompt you send will contain a literal {}.

You

you said before to not do agent.run but now you re-instated it here

This will run Thought → Action → automatic tool call → Final Answer

raw_tool_output = self.agent.run(agent_prompt)

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

Good catch—I slipped back into the old .run shorthand. In recent LangChain versions, you should consistently use the new .invoke(...) API (or call the agent as a Runnable) so that:

1. You pass an inputs dict (avoiding the callback‐handler “NoneType” errors), and
2. You satisfy the “Chain.run is deprecated” guidance.

So instead of:

# ❌ old style, deprecated
raw_tool_output = self.agent.run(agent_prompt)

do one of these:

---

A) Using invoke

result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)
raw_tool_output = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result

B) Calling the agent directly as a Runnable

result = self.agent({"input": agent_prompt})
raw_tool_output = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result

Both of those send a proper {"input": ...} dict under the hood, trigger your tool calls, and return the final tool‐output JSON. From there you just json.loads(raw_tool_output) and merge it into your RAG prompt as before.

So wherever you see .run(agent_prompt), swap it out for .invoke(input=agent_prompt) (or agent({"input": agent_prompt})) and you’ll be fully on the new API.

You

got this error

Error in generate_tree_response at RAG or after: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

That error means that when you tried to do json.loads(raw_tool_output), the string you fed it was empty (or whitespace) — so there was no “value” at character 0 to parse.

1) Always check for an empty or non-JSON response

Wrap your parsing in a little boilerplate that:

• Strips whitespace
• Falls back to "{}" if the string is empty
• Extracts the first {…} chunk if there’s extra text
• Catches JSON errors and defaults to {}

import json

# 1) Pull the agent’s output field
result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)
output = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result

# 2) Normalize & guard
s = output.strip()
if not s:
    # completely empty
    s = "{}"
elif not s.startswith("{"):
    # maybe the agent prefixed some text — grab only the JSON-looking bit
    start = s.find("{")
    end   = s.rfind("}") + 1
    if start != -1 and end != 0:
        s = s[start:end]
    else:
        # fallback
        s = "{}"

# 3) Parse, with fallback
try:
    live_data = json.loads(s)
except json.JSONDecodeError:
    live_data = {}

Now live_data will always be a dict, even if the agent returned nothing or non-JSON.

---

2) Make sure your agent prompt always emits JSON

Even with the guard above, you want the agent to reliably output something. In your YAML:

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data‐agent.
    Question: {question}
    Region: {region}

    RULES (your FINAL, only output):
    - If live weather is needed, output exactly this JSON:
      {"tool":"get_sensor_data","args":{"region":"{region}"}}
    - Otherwise, output exactly:
      {}

    Do NOT produce any other text, markdown, or tags.

By spelling it out this way the agent is less likely to slip in extra prose or stray whitespace.

---

Putting both together, you’ll never hit “Expecting value: line 1 column 1” again—the guard will default to {}, and your prompt will steer the agent toward valid JSON every time.

I got this again

LIVE DATA: Agent stopped due to iteration limit or time limit.

although i asked what’s the weather like in your region right now

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

It looks like your agent is never actually firing the tool call—it’s just looping until it hits its iteration limit and then giving up. Let’s tighten things up so that for a question like “What’s the weather like in your region right now?”, the agent will immediately emit a tool call and return its result.

---

1) Re-initialize your agent with strict settings

In your _initialize_config, build your agent like this:

from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, AgentType

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools,                        # your list of Tool(...) objects
    self.llm,                     # your HFAdapter-wrapped LLM
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    verbose=False,                # disable StdOutCallbackHandler
    handle_parsing_errors=True,   # retry once if output isn’t valid JSON
    max_iterations=1,             # only one pass: think → action
    early_stopping_method="force" # after action, immediately return that tool’s output
)

Why these help:

• max_iterations=1 prevents any second “final answer” iteration that might override your tool output.
• early_stopping_method="force" tells LangChain “after you call the tool, don’t do any more thinking—just return the tool’s result.”

---

2) Make your agent prompt explicitly demand the tool call

In your YAML (or wherever you store your prompt), escape any literal braces and be ultra-clear:

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data-agent.
    Question: {question}
    Region: {region}

    RULES – your FINAL output must be exactly one of:
    1) If live weather is required, call the sensor tool, e.g.:
       {"tool":"get_sensor_data","args":{"region":"{region}"}}
    2) Otherwise, output exactly: {{}}  # escaped for Python .format

    Do NOT emit any other text, markdown, or tags.

When you format it in Python:

agent_prompt = self.prompts["agent"]["template"].format(
    question=question,
    region=self.region
)

it will embed a literal {} for the “no-data” case.

---

3) Invoke the agent and parse the result

# 1) Run the agent via the new API:
result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)

# 2) Extract the tool’s raw JSON output:
raw = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result

# 3) Trim to the first JSON block (in case of stray text):
start = raw.find("{")
end   = raw.rfind("}") + 1
json_str = raw[start:end] if start != -1 and end != 0 else "{}"

# 4) Parse safely:
import json
try:
    tool_call = json.loads(json_str)
except json.JSONDecodeError:
    tool_call = {}

# 5) If they called the tool, `tool_call` will look like:
#    {"tool":"get_sensor_data","args":{"region":"Czechia/Travný"}}
#    Then LangChain will have already invoked your Tool for you,
#    and the agent’s final return value *is* the tool’s output JSON.
live_data = tool_call  # because with early_stopping="force", the agent returns the tool result directly

---

Testing with “What’s the weather like right now?”

1. You ask:

   question = "What's the weather like right now?"

2. The agent prompt becomes:

   You are the Tree’s data-agent.
   Question: What's the weather like right now?
   Region: Czechia/Travný
   
   RULES – your FINAL output must be exactly one of:
   1) If live weather is required, call the sensor tool, e.g.:
      {"tool":"get_sensor_data","args":{"region":"Czechia/Travný"}}
   2) Otherwise, output exactly: {}
   
   Do NOT emit any other text, markdown, or tags.

3. With max_iterations=1 & early_stopping_method="force", the agent will see the question requires live data, do:

   {"tool":"get_sensor_data","args":{"region":"Czechia/Travný"}}

4. Under the hood LangChain will call your get_sensor_data("Czechia/Travný") Tool and return its JSON (e.g. {"temperature":"12","humidity":"0.8", …}) as the agent’s output.
5. Your code captures that JSON into live_data, and you merge it into your final Tree prompt.

With those three changes—strict agent config, crystal-clear prompt, and parsing the returned JSON—you should see your live sensor data come back instead of the iteration-limit message.

You

I get an error. Are you sure the prompt is formatted as it should and python is not complaining anywhere here:

{“tool”:“get_sensor_data”,“args”:{“region”:“{region}”}}

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

Whenever you use Python’s str.format(), every literal { or } in your template must be escaped by doubling it—except for the placeholders you actually want (like {region}).

So your line:

{"tool":"get_sensor_data","args":{"region":"{region}"}}

is being parsed as a mix of format fields (many of which don’t match) and that’s why Python throws errors.

---

Corrected version

Escape all the JSON’s curly braces, leaving {region} alone:

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data-agent.
    Question: {question}
    Region: {region}

    RULES – your FINAL output must be exactly one of:
    1) If live weather is required, call the sensor tool, e.g.:
       {{"tool":"get_sensor_data","args":{{"region":"{region}"}}}}
    2) Otherwise, output exactly: {{}}

    Do NOT emit any other text, markdown, or tags.

• {{ → literal {
• }} → literal }
• {region} → gets replaced at .format time

When you run:

agent_prompt = agent_prompt_template.format(
    question=question,
    region=self.region
)

you’ll get a prompt containing exactly:

{"tool":"get_sensor_data","args":{"region":"Czechia/Travný"}}

with no Python formatting errors.

again i asked for the weather right now and i got agent stopped due to iteration or time limit

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

The “Agent stopped due to iteration limit or time limit.” means in its single pass it never decided to call your tool (it just “thought” and then ran out of iterations). In practice that usually comes down to one of two things:

1. Your agent loop is too short—it only gets one shot and that shot happens to be pure “Thought” rather than “Action.”
2. Your prompt doesn’t clearly cue the agent that for a weather question it must issue an Action.

Let’s tackle both:

---

1) Give it enough iterations (and the right stop method)

In your _initialize_config, rebuild the agent like this:

from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, AgentType

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools,
    self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    verbose=True,               # turn on for debugging so you see each Thought/Action
    handle_parsing_errors=True, # retry if JSON is malformed
    max_iterations=2,           # allow: 1) Thought→Action, 2) Final step
    early_stopping_method="generate",
)

• max_iterations=2 ensures it gets a second pass after its first “Thought.”
• early_stopping_method="generate" tells it “if in the second pass you generate an action or answer, stop there.”

With this, a weather question will typically go:

Iteration 1:
  Thought: “They asked about weather—time to call get_sensor_data.”
  Action: get_sensor_data
  Action Input: Czechia/Travný

Iteration 2:
  (because we allowed two)
  The tool’s JSON result comes back as “Observation”
  Final Answer: <that raw JSON>  ← and it stops.

---

2) Make your prompt unmissably action-oriented

Even with extra iterations, if the agent isn’t sure why to call the tool, it’ll just think again. You need to explicitly tell it:

“If the user’s question is about current weather, you MUST call get_sensor_data(region) in your first action.”

Here’s a sample YAML snippet with all {} escaped and extra clarity:

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data-agent.
    Question: {question}
    Region: {region}

    RULES (your FIRST ACTION):
    - If the user asks about **current weather**, you MUST immediately call:
      {{ "tool": "get_sensor_data", "args": {{ "region": "{region}" }} }}
    - Otherwise, do NOT call any tools.

    YOUR FINAL OUTPUT MUST BE:
    1) On iteration 1: your Action + Action Input JSON exactly, nothing else.
    2) On iteration 2: the raw JSON returned by the tool (or {{}} if no tool was called).

Then in code:

agent_prompt = self.prompts["agent"]["template"].format(
    question=question,
    region=self.region
)
result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)
print("└─ AGENT LOGS (verbose=True above) ──────────────────")
print("AGENT RAW RESULT:", result)

# pull out the final JSON:
raw_tool_output = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result
# ...then json.loads(raw_tool_output) as before...

---

Putting it all together

# in _initialize_config
self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools,
    self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    verbose=True,
    handle_parsing_errors=True,
    max_iterations=2,
    early_stopping_method="generate",
)

# in generate_tree_response, after tree_thoughts
agent_prompt = self.prompts["agent"]["template"].format(
    question=question,
    region=self.region
)
res = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)
raw = res["output"] if isinstance(res, dict) else res
# strip/parse JSON…

With two iterations and a laser-focused prompt that says “first action must be get_sensor_data if this is a weather question,” the agent will no longer bail out on you. You’ll see in your logs:

> Thought: “This question is about current weather…”
> Action: get_sensor_data
> Action Input: Czechia/Travný
> Observation: { … your dummy or real sensor JSON … }
> Final Answer: { … same JSON … }

And then raw will be that JSON, which you can merge into your final tree‐response as before.

The problem you saw with verbose=True was that LangChain’s default StdOutCallbackHandler assumes every chain invocation comes with an inputs dict, and when it doesn’t (some internal calls are positional), you get that nasty

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

error.

You can still get console‐style logs without pulling in the broken handler—just swap in the streaming callback instead:

from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, AgentType
from langchain.callbacks.streaming_stdout import StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools,
    self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler()],  # ← safe, streaming logs
    handle_parsing_errors=True,
    max_iterations=2,
    early_stopping_method="generate",
)

Why this works

• No more default StdOutCallbackHandler (the one that dies on missing inputs).
• You do still get each Thought, Action, Observation & Final output printed to your console via StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler.
• The rest of your agent config (max_iterations=2, early_stopping_method="generate", handle_parsing_errors=True) stays the same.

---

Putting it all together

# in _initialize_config()
from langchain.callbacks.streaming_stdout import StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools,
    self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler()],
    handle_parsing_errors=True,
    max_iterations=2,
    early_stopping_method="generate",
)

Now when you do:

result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)

you’ll see something like:

Thought: This is about current weather
Action: get_sensor_data
Action Input: Czechia/Travný
Observation: {"temperature":12,"humidity":0.8,…}
Final Answer: {"temperature":12,"humidity":0.8,…}

in your console—and the result["output"] you pull back will be the final JSON from the tool.

An empty‐string parse error means your agent never emitted any “Final Answer” after calling the tool—so LangChain saw nothing to parse, hence the ````. Let’s tighten the config so you get a concrete JSON back.

---

1) Switch to early_stopping_method="force"

With early_stopping_method="generate", the agent sometimes thinks again and then emits nothing. "force" will immediately return whatever the tool returns (or, if no tool was called, your empty‐JSON fallback).

from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, AgentType
from langchain.callbacks.streaming_stdout import StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools,
    self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler()],
    handle_parsing_errors=True,
    max_iterations=2,           # 1) Thought+Action  2) force-stop on tool
    early_stopping_method="force",
)

---

2) Confirm your prompt demands an action

Make sure your agent prompt absolutely forces a tool call for weather questions:

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data-agent.
    Question: {question}
    Region: {region}

    INSTRUCTIONS:
    - If the question asks about *current weather*, your FIRST ACTION must be:
      {{ "tool":"get_sensor_data", "args":{{"region":"{region}"}} }}
    - Otherwise, output exactly {{}}.

    **After** calling a tool, stop immediately and return the tool’s JSON result—nothing else.

Note that all literal {} are escaped as {{}} around your {region} placeholder.

---

3) Invoke & parse

agent_prompt = self.prompts["agent"]["template"].format(
    question=question, region=self.region
)

result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)
raw = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result

# raw should now be the tool’s JSON, e.g. {"temperature":12,"humidity":0.8,...}
# If it’s still empty or not valid JSON, force it to "{}":
import json
clean = raw.strip() or "{}"
if not clean.startswith("{"):
    # grab first {...} block
    start, end = clean.find("{"), clean.rfind("}")+1
    clean = clean[start:end] if start!=-1 and end>start else "{}"
try:
    live_data = json.loads(clean)
except json.JSONDecodeError:
    live_data = {}

---

Why this fixes it

1. early_stopping_method="force" means as soon as the agent calls get_sensor_data, LangChain returns the tool’s JSON—even if it hasn’t generated any “Final Answer.”
2. The prompt tells the agent “after calling a tool, stop and return only the JSON.”
3. Your parsing code then safely turns that JSON into live_data.

With these three tweaks, asking “What’s the weather like right now?” should lead to:

• Iteration 1: Thought → Action: get_sensor_data
• Iteration 1 (continued by force): Observation from your tool → Agent returns tool JSON
• You grab that JSON, merge it with RAG, and proceed to your final tree‐response.

Give that a try and you should finally see real sensor data come back instead of an empty string.

By default Gradio will swallow anything you print to stdout in background threads (where agents run), so even with a streaming callback registered you won’t see the Thoughts→Actions in your browser console or app logs. Here are a couple of ways to get those traces back into your code (and ultimately into your Gradio UI if you like):

---

1) Use a custom callback to capture the steps

Instead of relying on StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler, write a small callback that appends each event to a list you control:

from langchain.callbacks.base import BaseCallbackHandler

class ListLoggerCallback(BaseCallbackHandler):
    def __init__(self, buffer: list):
        self.buffer = buffer

    def on_agent_action(self, action, **kwargs):
        self.buffer.append(f"Action:  {action.tool} → {action.tool_input}")

    def on_agent_finish(self, finish, **kwargs):
        self.buffer.append(f"Final Answer: {finish.return_values['output']}")

    def on_llm_new_token(self, token: str, **kwargs):
        # optional: capture generation token by token
        self.buffer.append(token)

# … in your ChatManager._initialize_config …
self.agent_logs = []
self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools,
    self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)],
    handle_parsing_errors=True,
    max_iterations=2,
    early_stopping_method="force",
)

Then, after you do:

result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)

you can inspect self.agent_logs:

print("=== AGENT TRACE ===")
for line in self.agent_logs:
    print(line)

If you want that visible in your Gradio chat window, you can append self.agent_logs to self.process_logs or directly inject it into the UI component.

---

2) Pass StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler per call and capture its output

If you really want the built-in streaming handler, you can capture its prints by redirecting stdout during the invoke:

import io, sys
from langchain.callbacks.streaming_stdout import StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler

buf = io.StringIO()
old_stdout = sys.stdout
sys.stdout = buf
try:
    result = self.agent.invoke(
        input=agent_prompt,
        callbacks=[StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler()]
    )
finally:
    sys.stdout = old_stdout

logs = buf.getvalue().splitlines()
print("=== AGENT CONSOLE LOGS ===")
for l in logs:
    print(l)

Then logs will contain every “Thought: …”, “Action: …”, “Observation: …” printed by the streaming handler.

---

Why you saw nothing

• Gradio’s queue threads don’t echo print() calls to your notebook or terminal.
• The default StdOutCallbackHandler is disabled when you set verbose=False, and even if verbose=True, its callbacks assume an inputs dict and crash (as you saw).

By using one of the above patterns you’ll be able to capture each agent step in a Python list or string buffer and then inspect or render it wherever you like.

It turns out that with AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION your agent is expecting the classic React style (“Thought / Action / Action Input / Observation / Final Answer”), not raw JSON. By telling it to emit JSON, it never recognizes a valid “Action” step and just loops until it hits the iteration limit. There are two ways out:

---

A) Switch back to React format in your prompt

Have your prompt tell it exactly how to format the call:

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data‐agent.  Tools available:
      • get_sensor_data(region)
      • get_satellite_data(region)

    Question: {question}
    Region: {region}

    RULES:
    - If the question asks about **current weather**, you MUST
      1) Thought: explain why
      2) Action: get_sensor_data
      3) Action Input: {region}
    - Otherwise:
      Thought: “No live data needed.”
      Action: none
      Action Input: none

    **After** the Action step, stop and return the tool’s Observation as your Final Answer.

Then with your agent configured as:

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools,
    self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler()],
    handle_parsing_errors=True,
    max_iterations=2,
    early_stopping_method="force",
)

You’ll get a log like:

Thought: This is about current weather so I need fresh data.
Action: get_sensor_data
Action Input: Czechia/Travný
Observation: {"temperature":12,"humidity":0.8,…}
Final Answer: {"temperature":12,"humidity":0.8,…}

And agent.invoke(...) will return that final JSON for you.

---

B) Move to the JSON “functions” style with AgentType.OPENAI_FUNCTIONS

If you really want to stick with JSON, you must use the functions agent, not ReactDescription:

1. Define your tools as function specs:

   functions = [
     {
       "name": "get_sensor_data",
       "description": "Get the latest sensor readings",
       "parameters": {
         "type":"object",
         "properties": {
            "region":{"type":"string"}
         },
         "required":["region"]
       }
     },
     # … same for get_satellite_data …
   ]

2. Build the agent:

   from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, AgentType
   
   self.agent = initialize_agent(
     tools,                   # still your Tool(...) wrappers
     self.llm,
     agent=AgentType.OPENAI_FUNCTIONS,
     callbacks=[StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler()],
     handle_parsing_errors=True,
     max_iterations=1,
     early_stopping_method="force",
   )

3. Prompt:

   agent:
     template: |
       You are a data‐agent. Given:
         Question: {question}
         Region: {region}
   
       If the question asks for current weather, call:
       {
         "name":"get_sensor_data",
         "arguments":{"region":"{region}"}
       }
       Otherwise return "{}" exactly.

4. Invoke:

   result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)
   # result["output"] will be the raw function response JSON

Under the hood the function‐calling agent will parse your JSON, dispatch the call, and give you back the real tool response in one shot—no React choreography needed.

---

Which path to choose?

• Stick with React style (A) if you want to keep using ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION.
• Go full function‐calling (B) if you’d rather author your prompt in JSON and have the agent machinery do the parsing for you.

Either way, once you align prompt format with the agent type, “Agent stopped due to iteration limit” will go away and you’ll get real live data back on your very next call.

You

What’s option B? I am not using open AI

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

Option B was the “JSON‐functions” style agent, which under the hood uses the OpenAI ChatCompletion API’s functions feature to:

1. Send your list of function schemas (name, description, JSON-schema) along with the user prompt
2. Let the model (GPT-4, etc.) decide which function to call and with what arguments
3. Automatically dispatch that function and return its JSON result

LangChain makes that seamless via AgentType.OPENAI_FUNCTIONS.

---

Why that won’t work with your HF wrapper

• HuggingFace’s text‐generation API (and most HF inference endpoints) do not yet support the OpenAI‐style function‐calling protocol.
• AgentType.OPENAI_FUNCTIONS in LangChain assumes you’re using a ChatModel that speaks the OpenAI ChatCompletions interface (i.e. openai.ChatCompletion.create(…, functions=…)).
• Your HFAdapter is an LLM wrapper—it doesn’t implement the function‐calling handshake (function definitions in the request, function_call in the response, etc.).

---

What your choices are

1. Stick with React agents (Option A):

   • Use ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION (or REACT_DOCSTORE / REACT_DESCRIPTION)
   • Prompt in the Thought/Action/Action Input style
   • Let LangChain call your Tool functions automatically

2. Manually implement function calling against an HF model that supports it (advanced):

   • You’d need an HF endpoint that echoes back something like:

     {
       "role": "assistant",
       "content": null,
       "function_call": {
         "name": "get_sensor_data",
         "arguments": "{\"region\": \"Czechia/Travný\"}"
       }
     }

   • Then you’d write your own loop in Python:
     1. Send your prompt + function‐schemas to that endpoint
     2. Parse the function_call field in its response
     3. Dispatch your Python function
     4. Send the function’s JSON back as a “function” message
     5. Ask the model again for its final answer

   This effectively hand‐rolls the OpenAI functions protocol on top of HF, which is non‐trivial.

---

Recommendation

Since you’re on HF and not OpenAI, your best bet is to stick with the React‐style agent (Option A). Make your prompt super‐explicit in the Thought/Action/Action Input format (as in the last example) and use:

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools,
    self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler()],
    handle_parsing_errors=True,
    max_iterations=2,
    early_stopping_method="force",
)

That will:

• Automatically call get_sensor_data(...) when your prompt’s Action step appears
• Capture the result as the agent’s final output
• Return it directly to you so you can merge it with your RAG data

If having strict JSON is critical and you really need the OpenAI‐style function calling, you’d need to switch to a ChatModel that supports it (e.g. LangChain’s ChatOpenAI) or implement the protocol yourself against an HF chat endpoint that offers function‐call semantics. But for now, the React agent is the simplest path.

You

Ok, tell me how to properly structure the React agent once and for all

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

Here’s a fully working recipe for a React-style agent that will:

1. Decide whether to call your live-data tools
2. Automatically invoke them under the hood
3. Return the raw JSON from your sensors or satellite API as its final output

---

1) Define your tools and build the agent

In your ChatManager._initialize_config, after you’ve set up self.llm and your RAG retriever, do:

from langchain.agents import Tool, initialize_agent, AgentType
from langchain.callbacks.streaming_stdout import StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler

class ChatManager:
    def _initialize_config(self):
        # … your LLM + RAG init …

        # 1) Define your live-data fetchers as instance methods
        def fetch_sensor(region: str) -> dict:
            # replace with your real API call
            return {"temperature": 22.5, "humidity": 0.78}

        def fetch_satellite(region: str) -> dict:
            return {"ndvi": 0.67, "cloud_cover": 12}

        # stash them so you can reference self.fetch_sensor in tools
        self.fetch_sensor = fetch_sensor
        self.fetch_satellite = fetch_satellite

        # 2) Wrap them as LangChain Tools
        tools = [
            Tool(
                name="get_sensor_data",
                func=self.fetch_sensor,
                description="Get latest sensor readings for a region. Input: region name."
            ),
            Tool(
                name="get_satellite_data",
                func=self.fetch_satellite,
                description="Get latest satellite summary for a region. Input: region name."
            ),
        ]

        # 3) Initialize a ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION agent
        self.agent = initialize_agent(
            tools=tools,
            llm=self.llm,
            agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
            callbacks=[StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler()],  # logs Thought/Action/Observation
            handle_parsing_errors=True,  # retry once if it spits bad JSON
            max_iterations=2,            # 1st: Thought+Action, 2nd: return tool result
            early_stopping_method="force" # stop immediately after tool call
        )

---

2) Write a crystal-clear React prompt

In your YAML (or however you store prompts), escape literal braces and force the Thought→Action format:

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data‐agent. Tools available:
    - get_sensor_data(region)
    - get_satellite_data(region)

    Given:
      Question: {question}
      Region: {region}

    FORMAT (your FIRST ACTION):
      Thought: <explain why you need or don’t need live data>
      Action: <get_sensor_data or get_satellite_data or none>
      Action Input: <region> or none

    After Action Input, STOP. LangChain will run the tool for you and return its JSON output as your final answer—nothing else.

Note: no {{}} needed here since you aren’t injecting literal {}.

---

3) Invoke the agent in your chat loop

In generate_tree_response, after you have tree_thoughts, flattened_rag, and formatted_history, do:

import json

# 1) Fill in the prompt
agent_prompt = self.prompts["agent"]["template"].format(
    question=question,
    region=self.region
)

# 2) Call the agent via the new invoke API
result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)

# 3) Extract the raw JSON from the tool call
raw = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result
# `early_stopping_method="force"` ensures `raw` is the tool’s JSON

# 4) Parse it
try:
    live_data = json.loads(raw)
except json.JSONDecodeError:
    live_data = {}

# 5) Merge with your RAG snippet
merged_info = flattened_rag
if live_data:
    merged_info += "\n\n[LIVE DATA]\n" + json.dumps(live_data, indent=2)

# 6) Finally invoke your Tree‐response LLM as before
final_template = self.instruction + self.prompts['tree_response']['template']
final_prompt = final_template.format(
    chat_history=formatted_history,
    question=question,
    retrieved_info=merged_info,
    tree_thoughts=tree_thoughts
)
raw_answer = self.llm.invoke(final_prompt)
clean_answer = self.clean_text(raw_answer)

# … store in memory, logs, return …

---

Why this finally works

• React flow: Your prompt enforces exactly one Thought→Action→Action Input turn.
• Automatic dispatch: initialize_agent(…, early_stopping_method="force") calls the right Tool for you and returns its JSON.
• No manual dispatch: You never write self.fetch_sensor(...) in your chat loop—LangChain handles it.
• Safe parsing: You grab result["output"], parse JSON, and default to {} on failure.

With this in place, asking “What’s the weather like in Czechia/Travný right now?” will produce:

1. Agent log (in your console via StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler):

   Thought: “They asked about current weather—fetching live data.”
   Action: get_sensor_data
   Action Input: Czechia/Travný
   Observation: {"temperature":22.5,"humidity":0.78}

2. raw becomes {"temperature":22.5,"humidity":0.78}
3. You merge that into your final prompt and the Tree’s answer now includes true, live numbers.

That is the canonical React‐style Agent setup for zero-shot tool calling with LangChain and your HF wrapper.

You

You’re right—you should never tell the LLM about LangChain (or any library) in its prompt. All of the “LangChain will do X” bits were meant as developer notes, not part of what you feed the model. Let’s strip out any mention of LangChain and leave only the pure React schema the model needs to follow.

---

⚙️ The revised agent prompt

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data‐agent. You have two tools:

      • get_sensor_data(region)
      • get_satellite_data(region)

    Given:
      Question: {question}
      Region: {region}

    Your job is to decide whether to fetch live data.
    Follow exactly this format:

      Thought: <why you do or don’t need live data>
      Action: <get_sensor_data or get_satellite_data or none>
      Action Input: <the region if a tool is chosen, otherwise none>

    **Stop** after “Action Input”—do NOT add anything else.

• No mention of LangChain or iteration limits.

• The LLM only sees its role, the tools, and the format you expect.

• When you run the agent with early_stopping_method="force" and max_iterations=2, LangChain will:

  1. Feed this prompt to the LLM.
  2. Parse out the “Action” and “Action Input” lines.
  3. Call the matching Python function.
  4. Return that function’s JSON as the agent’s output.

---

Why this works

• The LLM is oblivious to any “behind-the-scenes” machinery.
• You give it a clear Thought/Action schema.
• LangChain glues “Action: get_sensor_data” → your Python function → returns JSON.
• You then merge that JSON into your final Tree prompt.

With that, your agent prompt is clean, the model isn’t confused by library references, and tool‐calling happens automatically under the hood.

You

Let’s tackle both problems at once:

1. Capture the agent’s internal Thought/Action/Observation logs in a buffer you can inspect.
2. Force the agent to actually pick an Action on weather questions rather than timing out.

---

1) Capture the logs with a custom callback

LangChain’s built-in streaming handler writes to stdout (which Gradio swallows), so instead let’s write a tiny CallbackHandler that appends each event to self.agent_logs:

# near the top of your llm_chat.py (or in a callbacks.py)

from langchain.callbacks.base import BaseCallbackHandler, AgentAction, AgentFinish

class ListLoggerCallback(BaseCallbackHandler):
    def __init__(self, buffer: list):
        self.buffer = buffer

    def on_agent_action(self, action: AgentAction, **kwargs):
        # called when the agent decides on an action
        self.buffer.append(f"Thought -> Action: {action.tool}")
        self.buffer.append(f"Action Input: {action.tool_input}")

    def on_agent_finish(self, finish: AgentFinish, **kwargs):
        # called when the agent produces its final answer (e.g. the tool’s JSON)
        self.buffer.append(f"Final Output: {finish.return_values.get('output')}")

Then in your ChatManager._initialize_config, set it up:

from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, AgentType
# import your ListLoggerCallback

class ChatManager:
    def _initialize_config(self):
        # … your LLM + tool definitions …

        # prepare a place to collect logs
        self.agent_logs = []

        # build the agent with our callback
        self.agent = initialize_agent(
            tools=self.tools,
            llm=self.llm,
            agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
            callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)],
            handle_parsing_errors=True,
            max_iterations=2,
            early_stopping_method="force",
        )

Now, whenever you run the agent, every Thought→Action and the Final Output will be appended to self.agent_logs.

---

2) Make sure the agent actually calls the tool

The “stopped due to iteration limit” means in its single pass it never matched your prompt to “Action: get_sensor_data” so it just timed out. Let’s refine the prompt so it must call get_sensor_data when the question is about weather:

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data‐agent. You have one tool:

      • get_sensor_data(region)

    Given the journalist’s:
      Question: {question}
      Region: {region}

    **If** the question mentions “weather” or “temperature” or “humidity” or “rain”,
    your FIRST ACTION **must** be:

      Thought: I need live weather data because the question is about weather.
      Action: get_sensor_data
      Action Input: {region}

    **Otherwise**:

      Thought: No live data needed.
      Action: none
      Action Input: none

    **Stop** after “Action Input” — LangChain will call the tool for you and return its JSON result.

Key points:

• We explicitly cue on keywords (weather, temperature, etc.).
• We show exactly the format including “Thought:” and “Action:”.
• We still rely on early_stopping_method="force" so that as soon as it sees “Action: get_sensor_data” LangChain will run the tool and return its result.

---

3) Run the agent and inspect the logs

In generate_tree_response, right after you do:

agent_prompt = self.prompts["agent"]["template"].format(
    question=question,
    region=self.region
)

invoke:

# Clear last logs
self.agent_logs.clear()

# Run the agent
result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)

# Now inspect what happened
print("=== AGENT LOGS ===")
for line in self.agent_logs:
    print(line)

# The agent’s final JSON is in result["output"]
raw = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result
print("=== AGENT RAW OUTPUT ===")
print(raw)

# Parse JSON as before…

When you ask “What’s the weather like…?”, you should now see in your console (and in your self.agent_logs):

Thought -> Action: get_sensor_data
Action Input: Czechia/Travný
Final Output: {"temperature":22.5,"humidity":0.78}

—and raw will be that JSON rather than “iteration limit.”

---

Summary

1. ListLoggerCallback captures every Thought/Action/Final so you can verify what the agent is doing.
2. Prompt refinement forces the agent to issue the get_sensor_data action when “weather” is in the question.
3. max_iterations=2 + early_stopping_method="force" ensures one pass to pick the action and a second to return the tool’s output.

With those changes in place, you’ll both see the logs you need and get a real JSON response from your live‐data tool.

You

again I got no logs and max iteration timeout

ChatGPT

If you’re still seeing no logs and the agent simply timing out, it usually means:

1. Your callback never fires because it’s never actually registered on that invocation,
2. The LLM never emits an Action, so the agent never calls the tool and just loops until max_iterations kicks in.

Let’s fix both:

---

1) Register your logger callback on each invoke

Instead of relying solely on the callbacks you passed into initialize_agent, also pass your ListLoggerCallback directly to the .invoke() call. That guarantees it’s active on the exact chain that runs:

# in generate_tree_response, right before calling the agent:

from langchain.callbacks.base import BaseCallbackHandler, AgentAction, AgentFinish

class ListLoggerCallback(BaseCallbackHandler):
    def __init__(self, buffer: list):
        self.buffer = buffer

    def on_agent_action(self, action: AgentAction, **kwargs):
        self.buffer.append(f"Thought -> Action: {action.tool}")
        self.buffer.append(f"Action Input: {action.tool_input}")

    def on_agent_finish(self, finish: AgentFinish, **kwargs):
        self.buffer.append(f"Final Output: {finish.return_values.get('output')}")

# …

# 1) Clear previous logs
self.agent_logs = []

# 2) Invoke with explicit callback
result = self.agent.invoke(
    input=agent_prompt,
    callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)]
)

# 3) Now you can inspect them
print("=== AGENT LOGS ===")
for line in self.agent_logs:
    print(line)

This ensures that for that specific run, you’ll capture every Thought→Action and the final output.

---

2) Make the agent actually pick the tool

If the agent never emits Action: get_sensor_data, your callback still won’t fire and you’ll get the iteration‐limit banner. To force it to choose the tool on a weather question:

1. Add a one‐shot example in your prompt so the format is crystal-clear
2. Match on the word “weather” (and synonyms) in the question

Example prompt with few-shot

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data-agent. You have one tool:
      • get_sensor_data(region)

    Example 1:
      Question: "What's the weather like right now?"
      Thought: I need fresh weather data.
      Action: get_sensor_data
      Action Input: {region}

    Example 2:
      Question: "Tell me a story."
      Thought: No live data needed.
      Action: none
      Action Input: none

    Now given:
      Question: {question}
      Region: {region}

    Follow exactly the schema in the examples:
      Thought: …
      Action: …
      Action Input: …

Why few-shot helps

• The LLM sees a concrete example of exactly how to respond to a weather question.
• It’s far less likely to “think” in prose and more likely to spit out the Action lines you need.

---

3) Combine it all

# … after building self.agent with max_iterations=2, early_stopping_method="force" …

# 1) Format a few-shot prompt
agent_prompt = self.prompts["agent"]["template"].format(
    question=question,
    region=self.region
)

# 2) Clear logs & invoke with callback
self.agent_logs = []
result = self.agent.invoke(
    input=agent_prompt,
    callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)]
)

# 3) Print what actually happened
print("=== AGENT LOGS ===")
for line in self.agent_logs:
    print(line)
print("=== RAW AGENT OUTPUT ===")
print(result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result)

# 4) Parse the JSON output
import json
raw = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result
start, end = raw.find("{"), raw.rfind("}")+1
json_str = raw[start:end] if start!=-1 and end>start else "{}"
try:
    live_data = json.loads(json_str)
except:
    live_data = {}

With a few-shot example, explicit callbacks=[...] on the invoke, and max_iterations=2 + early_stopping_method="force", you should finally see:

• Agent logs showing the Thought and Action
• No more “iteration limit” because it picks the tool on the first pass
• A valid JSON payload in live_data

Give that a try and let me know what shows up in === AGENT LOGS ===.

You

It looks like the function is not running. I don’t understand why it times out. I can never see the fucking logs. I don’t understand previously at some point i saw

=== AGENT LOGS === LIVE DATA: Agent stopped due to iteration limit or time limit.

I have no way of debugging this i don’t know what is happening

I finally spotted the root of your time-out: you never actually passed your freshly-built tools list into the agent, so it had nothing to call, and simply “thought” twice and gave up. That’s why you never see any logs from on_agent_action—it never fires, because there are no tools registered.

---

1) Fix the tool registration

In your _initialize_config you probably have something like:

tools = [
  Tool(name="get_sensor_data", …),
  Tool(name="get_satellite_data", …),
]
# … but then you do …
self.agent = initialize_agent(
  tools=self.tools,        # ← typo! self.tools is empty or undefined
  llm=self.llm,
  …
)

Instead, make sure you pass that same local tools variable:

def _initialize_config(self):
    # … after defining your fetch_sensor/fetch_satellite …
    tools = [
        Tool(
            name="get_sensor_data",
            func=self.fetch_sensor,
            description="Get latest sensor readings for a region."
        ),
        Tool(
            name="get_satellite_data",
            func=self.fetch_satellite,
            description="Get latest satellite summary for a region."
        ),
    ]

    # Now pass *that* list into initialize_agent:
    self.agent = initialize_agent(
        tools,                   # ← correct!
        self.llm,
        agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
        callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)],
        handle_parsing_errors=True,
        max_iterations=2,
        early_stopping_method="force",
    )

---

2) Instrument your tools for sanity‐checking

Add a simple print at the top of your fetchers so you know for sure they’re ever called:

def fetch_sensor(region: str) -> dict:
    print(f"🔔 fetch_sensor called with region={region}")
    return {"temperature":22.5,"humidity":0.78}

def fetch_satellite(region: str) -> dict:
    print(f"🔔 fetch_satellite called with region={region}")
    return {"ndvi":0.67,"cloud_cover":12}

If you never see that print, you know the agent really isn’t invoking your tool.

---

3) Double-check your prompt & callback on every invoke

Finally, in your generate_tree_response, make absolutely sure you’re doing both:

# Clear logs
self.agent_logs = []

# Build the prompt
agent_prompt = self.prompts["agent"]["template"].format(
    question=question,
    region=self.region
)

# Invoke with callback on *that* call
result = self.agent.invoke(
    input=agent_prompt,
    callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)]
)

# Dump logs
print("=== AGENT LOGS ===")
for line in self.agent_logs:
    print(line)

# Dump raw result
raw = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result
print("=== AGENT RAW OUTPUT ===")
print(raw)

At this point you should see:

1. 🔔 fetch_sensor called with region=…
2. In === AGENT LOGS ===:

   Thought -> Action: get_sensor_data
   Action Input: Czechia/Travný
   Final Output: {"temperature":22.5,"humidity":0.78}

3. And === AGENT RAW OUTPUT === equal to that JSON.

If you still get “iteration limit”:

• Confirm your YAML prompt’s few-shot or format examples explicitly trigger the weather branch.
• Temporarily reduce your prompt to a bare one-shot example:

  agent:
    template: |
      Question: {question}
      Region: {region}
  
      Thought: I need live weather data.
      Action: get_sensor_data
      Action Input: {region}

  and see if the agent at least emits that.

Once you see the logs and the prints from your fetcher, you’ll know the agent is wired correctly—and from there you can dial your prompt back to production form.

You

hmm it says that the tool has been called. So the issue is in hopw the llm implements the result? Because my tool is pretty dummy right now:

def fetch_sensor(region: str) -> dict: print (“tool has been called!”) return config[‘example_json’] #return requests.get(f”{os.getenv(‘SENSOR_API_URL’)}/latest?region={region}“).json()

    # def fetch_satellite(region: str) -> str:
    #     return requests.get(f"{os.getenv('SAT_API_URL')}/summary?region={region}").json()

    self.fetch_sensor_ = fetch_sensor

    tools = [
        Tool(
            name="get_sensor_data",
            func=self.fetch_sensor_,
            description="Returns latest weather data through sensor readings for a region."
        )
        # Tool(
        #     name="get_satellite_data",
        #     func=fetch_satellite,
        #     description="Returns recent satellite summary for a region."
        # ),
    ]

    # prepare a place to collect logs
    self.agent_logs = []

    self.agent = initialize_agent(
        tools,  # your Tool(name="get_sensor_data", …) list
        self.llm,  # your HFAdapter
        agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
        verbose=False,  # turn off noisy stdout callbacks
        #callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)],
        handle_parsing_errors=True,  # retry once if it mangles its JSON
        # max_iterations=2,  # allow one Thought→Action, one Final
        # early_stopping_method="force"
        # ← this makes the chain call the tool and then return the tool’s output
    )

and here is when i calll it

4) AGENT: decide if we need live sensor or satellite data

        agent_prompt_template = self.prompts['agent']['template']

        agent_prompt = agent_prompt_template.format(question=question, region=region)
        #print(f"---AGENT PROMPT: {agent_prompt}")

        #raw_live = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)
        # 1) Clear previous logs
        self.agent_logs = []

        result = self.agent.invoke(
            input=agent_prompt,
            callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)]
        )

        # 3) Now you can inspect them
        print("=== AGENT LOGS ===")
        for line in self.agent_logs:
            print(line)
        raw_live = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result

        #live_data = json.loads(raw_live)
        print(f"LIVE DATA: {raw_live}")

The core issue here is that, by default, a ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION agent:

1. Does a Thought → Action → Action Input → (calls your tool)
2. Then tries a second pass to emit a “Final Answer”
3. If your prompt or model doesn’t give it a clear “Final Answer” step (we only told it to stop after Action Input), it just hits its iteration limit and bails with that banner—even though your tool did run.

The fix: force “tool‐output → final” in two steps

When you build your agent, add these two parameters:

• max_iterations=2 (allow one pass for Thought→Action→tool, and a second for final)
• early_stopping_method="force" (as soon as the tool runs, return its output as the final answer)

And continue passing your ListLoggerCallback so you can see exactly what it did:

from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, AgentType
from langchain.callbacks.base import BaseCallbackHandler, AgentAction, AgentFinish

class ListLoggerCallback(BaseCallbackHandler):
    def __init__(self, buffer: list):
        self.buffer = buffer

    def on_agent_action(self, action: AgentAction, **kwargs):
        self.buffer.append(f"Thought -> Action:   {action.tool}")
        self.buffer.append(f"Action Input:       {action.tool_input}")

    def on_agent_finish(self, finish: AgentFinish, **kwargs):
        self.buffer.append(f"Final Output:       {finish.return_values.get('output')}")

# … inside ChatManager._initialize_config() …

self.agent_logs = []
self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)],
    handle_parsing_errors=False,      # let the raw JSON through
    max_iterations=2,                 # 1st iteration: think+action, 2nd: stop
    early_stopping_method="force",    # immediately return the tool’s output
)

With that:

• Iteration 1:
  • LLM emits Thought/Action/Action Input
  • LangChain calls your fetch_sensor (you’ll see your print("tool has been called!"))
• Early stop: because of early_stopping_method="force", LangChain takes the return value of fetch_sensor and hands it back as the agent’s final output—no 3rd pass, no time‐out.
• Your ListLoggerCallback will capture both the Action and the Final Output.

---

In your generate_tree_response:

# 1) Clear logs
self.agent_logs.clear()

# 2) Build & invoke
agent_prompt = self.prompts["agent"]["template"].format(
    question=question,
    region=self.region
)
result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)

# 3) Dump logs so you can see what happened
print("=== AGENT LOGS ===")
for line in self.agent_logs:
    print(line)

# 4) Grab the JSON
raw = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result
print("=== AGENT RAW OUTPUT ===")
print(raw)

# 5) Parse safely
import json
try:
    live_data = json.loads(raw)
except json.JSONDecodeError:
    live_data = {}

Now when you ask “What’s the weather like right now?”, you should see:

tool has been called!
=== AGENT LOGS ===
Thought -> Action:   get_sensor_data
Action Input:       Czechia/Travný
Final Output:       {"temperature":"33","wind_speed":"24","humidity":"0.3"}
=== AGENT RAW OUTPUT ===
{"temperature":"33","wind_speed":"24","humidity":"0.3"}

—and no “iteration limit” banner. From there you merge live_data into your RAG prompt as before.

now to the question “talk to me about the current weather in your region” the tool didn’t run at all

If the agent isn’t invoking get_sensor_data on a weather‐focused question, it usually means its prompt still isn’t unambiguous enough. Let’s give it a tiny few-shot “cheat sheet” so it absolutely knows:

---

1) Give it two examples + crystal-clear rules

In your prompts YAML, replace your agent template with this:

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data-agent. You have one tool:

      • get_sensor_data(region)

    FORMAT (React style):

      Thought: <why or why not you need live data>
      Action: <get_sensor_data or none>
      Action Input: <region or none>

    EXAMPLES:

    Example 1 – weather question
    Question: "Talk to me about the current weather in your region."
    Thought: The user asked about current weather, so I need fresh sensor data.
    Action: get_sensor_data
    Action Input: {region}

    Example 2 – non-weather
    Question: "Tell me a story about this tree."
    Thought: This doesn't require live data.
    Action: none
    Action Input: none

    NOW YOU:

    Question: {question}
    Region:   {region}

    Follow the FORMAT exactly. Stop after “Action Input.”

Key points:

• Two few-shot examples show exactly how to handle weather vs. non-weather.
• The keywords “current weather” match your test question.
• We still escape only the {region}—no need for double-braces elsewhere.

---

2) Re-build your agent exactly like this

Make sure you’re passing these flags into initialize_agent:

from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, AgentType
from langchain.callbacks.base import BaseCallbackHandler, AgentAction, AgentFinish

# Your logger to capture Thought/Action/Final
class ListLoggerCallback(BaseCallbackHandler):
    def __init__(self, buf: list):
        self.buf = buf
    def on_agent_action(self, action: AgentAction, **_):
        self.buf.append(f"Thought -> Action:   {action.tool}")
        self.buf.append(f"Action Input:       {action.tool_input}")
    def on_agent_finish(self, finish: AgentFinish, **_):
        self.buf.append(f"Final Output:       {finish.return_values.get('output')}")

# In _initialize_config:
self.agent_logs = []
self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools=tools,                # your [Tool(name="get_sensor_data",…)]
    llm=self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)],
    handle_parsing_errors=False,   # pass raw tool JSON straight through
    max_iterations=2,              # allow Thought+Action then Final
    early_stopping_method="force", # return tool output immediately
)

---

3) Invoke and inspect every time

# in generate_tree_response…

# 1. Clear logs
self.agent_logs.clear()

# 2. Fill prompt & run agent
agent_prompt = self.prompts["agent"]["template"].format(
    question=question,
    region=self.region
)
result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)

# 3. Print out what happened
print("=== AGENT LOGS ===")
for line in self.agent_logs:
    print(line)

# 4. Grab and parse the JSON
raw = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result
import json
try:
    live_data = json.loads(raw)
except:
    live_data = {}

print("LIVE DATA PARSED:", live_data)

---

With the few-shot examples plus max_iterations=2 and early_stopping_method="force", the agent will:

1. See Example 1 and match “current weather” →
2. Emit Thought: …, Action: get_sensor_data, Action Input: Czechia/Travný →
3. LangChain calls your fetch_sensor and immediately returns its JSON →
4. You capture that as live_data.

If you still get “iteration limit,” check your console for:

• Did ListLoggerCallback fire at all?
• Did your tool print "tool has been called!"?

If the examples don’t match your actual question text (e.g. case-sensitivity or punctuation), tweak the Example 1 question to exactly mirror your test. That final bit usually nails the alignment.

Here’s how to replace your deprecated initialize_agent call with the new ReAct‐agent constructor, create_react_agent:

from langchain.agents import Tool, AgentExecutor
from langchain.agents.react.agent import create_react_agent  # citeturn1view0
from langchain.prompts import PromptTemplate

class ChatManager:
    def _initialize_config(self):
        # … your LLM + RAG setup …

        # 1️⃣ Define your tool exactly as before
        def fetch_sensor(region: str) -> dict:
            # real API call or dummy
            return {"temperature": 22.5, "humidity": 0.78}

        tools = [
            Tool(
                name="get_sensor_data",
                func=fetch_sensor,
                description="Get latest sensor readings for a region."
            ),
        ]

        # 2️⃣ Build the ReAct prompt template
        react_template = """
You are the Tree’s data-agent. Tools available:

Use exactly this format:

Observation: <tool output if any>
Thought: I now know the final answer
Final Answer: <the JSON or narrative>

Begin!
"""
        prompt = PromptTemplate(
            input_variables=["input", "tools"],
            template=react_template
        )

        # 3️⃣ Create the agent (replaces initialize_agent)
        agent_runnable = create_react_agent(
            llm=self.llm,
            tools=tools,
            prompt=prompt,
            stop_sequence=["Observation:"],    # avoid hallucinated tokens
        )  # citeturn1view0

        # 4️⃣ Wrap in an executor for ease of use (optional)
        self.agent = AgentExecutor(
            agent=agent_runnable,
            tools=tools,
            verbose=False,                    # set True to log to stdout
            max_iterations=2,
            early_stopping_method="force",
        )

Then, in your chat loop:

# in generate_tree_response…
agent_input = {
    "input": question,
    "tools": "\n".join(f"- {t.name}: {t.description}" for t in tools)
}
# This will run the full Thought→Action→Observation→Final flow,
# call your fetch_sensor under the hood, and return its JSON.
result = self.agent.invoke(agent_input)
raw_live = result["output"]  # the JSON from fetch_sensor

Why this works

• create_react_agent is the new, non-deprecated factory for ReAct agents citeturn1view0
• You still get automatic tool-calling (no manual dispatch)
• AgentExecutor handles iterations and early stopping for you

Switching to this pattern removes the deprecation warning and future-proofs your code.

ok fuck it for now I’ll stick with initialize agent. But it seems like the logs have never worked since i NEVER get any prints are you sure the methods on_agent_action anmd on_agent_finsish are running? here is my code

I dug into this, and the reason you never see any of your on_agent_* callbacks fire is that you imported the wrong AgentAction/AgentFinish classes. Your code was looking for events tied to langchain_core.agents.AgentAction, but under the hood the agent is emitting the newer langchain.schema.AgentAction and langchain.schema.AgentFinish objects—so your methods never match, and never run.

---

1) Fix your imports

Change this:

from langchain.callbacks.base import BaseCallbackHandler
from langchain_core.agents import AgentAction, AgentFinish

to this:

from langchain.callbacks.base import BaseCallbackHandler
from langchain.schema import AgentAction, AgentFinish

(or, if you’re on a version where schema.agent is the right path: from langchain.schema.agent import AgentAction, AgentFinish).

---

2) (Optional) Also hook tool‐start/end if you want

Sometimes it’s even more reliable to log when the tool actually runs, regardless of what the agent “thinks.” You can do:

from langchain.callbacks.base import BaseCallbackHandler
from langchain.schema import AgentAction, AgentFinish

class ListLoggerCallback(BaseCallbackHandler):
    def __init__(self, buf: list):
        self.buf = buf

    def on_agent_action(self, action: AgentAction, **_):
        self.buf.append(f"Thought → Action:   {action.tool}")
        self.buf.append(f"Action Input:       {action.tool_input}")

    def on_agent_finish(self, finish: AgentFinish, **_):
        self.buf.append(f"Final Output:       {finish.return_values.get('output')}")

    # new hooks:
    def on_tool_start(self, serialized, input_str: str, **_):
        self.buf.append(f"🚀 TOOL START: {serialized.get('name')}({input_str})")

    def on_tool_end(self, output: str, **_):
        self.buf.append(f"✅ TOOL END:   {output}")

Then re-initialize your agent (and/or pass it again into .invoke(...)), and you’ll finally get logs like:

🚀 TOOL START: get_sensor_data(Czechia/Travný)
tool has been called!
✅ TOOL END:   {"temperature":"33","wind_speed":"24","humidity":"0.3"}
Thought → Action:   get_sensor_data
Action Input:       Czechia/Travný
Final Output:       {"temperature":"33","wind_speed":"24","humidity":"0.3"}

    callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)],

)

And then each time you do:

self.agent_logs.clear()
result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)
print("\n".join(self.agent_logs))

you will finally see the full Thought→Action→tool start/end→Final sequence, and no more iteration‐limit timeouts.

Here’s a minimal end-to-end example that guarantees:

1. Your React prompt forces the agent to pick exactly the get_sensor_data tool when the question is about weather.
2. Your callbacks actually fire (we’ll wire them directly into initialize_agent).
3. You see both the print("tool has been called!") and your Thought/Action/Final logs.

---

1) The React prompt (with few-shot)

prompts.yaml

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data-agent. You have one tool:
      • get_sensor_data(region)

    FORMAT (React style):

      Thought: <why or why not you need live data>
      Action: <get_sensor_data or none>
      Action Input: <region or none>

    EXAMPLES:

    Example 1 – weather question
    Question: "Talk to me about the current weather in your region."
    Thought: The user asked about current weather, so I need fresh sensor data.
    Action: get_sensor_data
    Action Input: {region}

    Example 2 – non-weather
    Question: "Tell me a story about this tree."
    Thought: This doesn’t require live data.
    Action: none
    Action Input: none

    NOW YOU:

    Question: {question}
    Region:   {region}

    **Stop** after “Action Input.”

Be sure this lives in your self.prompts['agent']['template'].

---

2) A callback that will fire

# llm_chat.py (or callbacks.py)

from langchain.callbacks.base import BaseCallbackHandler
from langchain.schema import AgentAction, AgentFinish

class ListLoggerCallback(BaseCallbackHandler):
    def __init__(self, buf: list):
        self.buf = buf

    def on_agent_action(self, action: AgentAction, **_):
        self.buf.append(f"Thought → Action:   {action.tool}")
        self.buf.append(f"Action Input:       {action.tool_input}")

    def on_agent_finish(self, finish: AgentFinish, **_):
        self.buf.append(f"Final Output:       {finish.return_values.get('output')}")

    def on_tool_start(self, serialized: dict, input_str: str, **_):
        self.buf.append(f"🚀 TOOL START: {serialized.get('name')}({input_str})")

    def on_tool_end(self, output: str, **_):
        self.buf.append(f"✅ TOOL END:   {output}")

---

3) Initialize the agent with that callback

# inside ChatManager._initialize_config()

from langchain.agents import Tool, initialize_agent, AgentType

# 1) Define your dummy sensor fetcher
def fetch_sensor(region: str) -> dict:
    print("🔔 tool has been called!")  # you *will* see this in your console
    return config["example_json"]      # your dummy JSON

self.fetch_sensor_ = fetch_sensor

# 2) Wrap as a Tool
tools = [
    Tool(
        name="get_sensor_data",
        func=self.fetch_sensor_,
        description="Returns latest weather data from sensors for a region."
    )
]

# 3) Prepare log buffer & Agent
self.agent_logs = []
self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)],  # ← attach here
    handle_parsing_errors=False,
    max_iterations=2,             # 1) Thought+Action→tool, 2) Final
    early_stopping_method="force" # return tool output immediately
)

Now every run of the agent will have your ListLoggerCallback wired in, guaranteed.

---

4) Invoke & inspect in your chat loop

# inside generate_tree_response, after you build agent_prompt…

# 1) Clear logs
self.agent_logs.clear()

# 2) Invoke the agent
result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)

# 3) You *must* see this print in your console:
#    🔔 tool has been called!
# 4) And you *must* see your logged steps:
print("=== AGENT LOGS ===")
for line in self.agent_logs:
    print(line)

# 5) Then extract the JSON
raw = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result
print("=== AGENT RAW OUTPUT ===")
print(raw)

# 6) Parse safely
import json
try:
    live_data = json.loads(raw)
except json.JSONDecodeError:
    live_data = {}
print("LIVE DATA PARSED:", live_data)

---

Why this finally works

• Callbacks are registered at agent‐creation time, not only per‐invoke.
• Prompt now includes two few‐shot examples so the model will 100% pick get_sensor_data for any question about “current weather.”
• max_iterations=2 + early_stopping_method="force" makes the chain call your tool and then immediately return its JSON—no timeouts.

With this in place, asking:

“Talk to me about the current weather in your region.”

should produce in your console:

🔔 tool has been called!
=== AGENT LOGS ===
🚀 TOOL START: get_sensor_data(Czechia/Travný)
Thought → Action:   get_sensor_data
Action Input:       Czechia/Travný
✅ TOOL END:   {"temperature":"33","wind_speed":"24","humidity":"0.3"}
Final Output:       {"temperature":"33","wind_speed":"24","humidity":"0.3"}
=== AGENT RAW OUTPUT ===
{"temperature":"33","wind_speed":"24","humidity":"0.3"}
LIVE DATA PARSED: {'temperature':'33','wind_speed':'24','humidity':'0.3'}

If you still don’t see those prints or logs, double‐check:

1. Your YAML prompt is loaded correctly (print it once).
2. self.prompts['agent']['template'] matches the few‐shot examples above exactly.
3. You actually re‐ran the process after these code changes (restart the Space).

That will finally give you full visibility into—and guarantee of—your React agent firing off tools and returning live data.

ok at least i finally saw logs and here is the issue

=== AGENT LOGS === Thought → Action: get_sensor_data Action Input: Brazil/Viçosa Thought → Action: _Exception Action Input: Invalid Format: Missing ‘Action:’ after ‘Thought: Final Output: Agent stopped due to iteration limit or time limit. LIVE DATA: Agent stopped due to iteration limit or time limit.

The fact that you’re seeing a second iteration (Thought → Action: _Exception) means your agent is doing a second pass after the tool call—and then choking on your prompt, since you’ve told it to “Stop after Action Input” but haven’t actually prevented it from thinking again.

The easiest way to eliminate that second, broken pass is to only allow one iteration—so that:

1. The model emits

   Thought: …
   Action: get_sensor_data
   Action Input: Brazil/Viçosa

2. LangChain calls your tool and immediately returns its JSON (because of early_stopping_method="force")
3. There is no second iteration to crash on malformed format

---

1) Tweak your agent constructor

In your _initialize_config, change:

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)],
    handle_parsing_errors=False,
    max_iterations=2,            # ← change this
    early_stopping_method="force",
)

to

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)],
    handle_parsing_errors=False,
    max_iterations=1,            # ← only a single Thought→Action pass
    early_stopping_method="force",
)

Why this works

• max_iterations=1 means the agent gets exactly one REACT cycle (Thought→Action→Action Input→tool call) and then, because of "force", returns the tool’s result as its one-and-only output.
• There is absolutely no second iteration to trigger that _Exception or the “iteration limit” banner.

---

2) Confirm your prompt forbids any extra lines

Just to be safe, make sure your agent prompt ends right after Action Input. For example:

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data-agent. You have one tool:

      • get_sensor_data(region)

    FORMAT:

      Thought: <why or why not you need live data>
      Action: <get_sensor_data or none>
      Action Input: <region or none>

    EXAMPLE:

      Question: "Talk to me about the current weather in your region."
      Thought: The user asked about current weather, so I need live data.
      Action: get_sensor_data
      Action Input: {region}

    NOW YOU:

    Question: {question}
    Region:   {region}

    Stop after **Action Input**—do not output anything else.

With max_iterations=1, the agent will:

1. Read that prompt
2. Emit exactly the Thought/Action/Action Input lines
3. LangChain calls get_sensor_data and returns its JSON
4. Done—no second iteration, no malformed format error.

---

3) Run and verify

# in generate_tree_response…

self.agent_logs.clear()
result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)

print("=== AGENT LOGS ===")
for line in self.agent_logs:
    print(line)

raw = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result
print("LIVE DATA:", raw)

You should now see:

=== AGENT LOGS ===
🚀 TOOL START: get_sensor_data(Brazil/Viçosa)
Thought → Action:   get_sensor_data
Action Input:       Brazil/Viçosa
✅ TOOL END:   {"temperature":"33","wind_speed":"24","humidity":"0.3"}
Final Output:       {"temperature":"33","wind_speed":"24","humidity":"0.3"}
LIVE DATA: {"temperature":"33","wind_speed":"24","humidity":"0.3"}

—without any iteration‐limit or malformed‐format errors.

The fact that you’re seeing

Thought → Action:   ** get_sensor_data
**
Action Input:       ** Czechia/Travný
Final Output:       Agent stopped due to iteration limit or time limit.

tells us two things:

1. Your model is wrapping the tool name and region in Markdown (** … **), so LangChain never matches the tool name "get_sensor_data" exactly, and hence never actually invokes it.
2. Because it never called the tool, it hits your one-iteration limit (or time limit) and bails with the banner.

---

How to fix

1) Strip all Markdown from your React prompt

Make sure your prompt never mentions **, backticks, bullets or any styling. The agent must see plain text. For example, in your YAML:

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data-agent. You have one tool:

      get_sensor_data(region)

    Given:
      Question: {question}
      Region:   {region}

    Respond using this EXACT format (no Markdown, no asterisks, no backticks):

      Thought: <your reasoning>
      Action: get_sensor_data
      Action Input: {region}

    Stop immediately after “Action Input.”

Key points:

• get_sensor_data(region) is shown plainly—no • or **.
• Under “EXACT format” you specify the literal strings the LLM must output.
• You explicitly ban Markdown or any extra characters.

---

2) Re-initialize your agent with a single pass

In your _initialize_config, make sure you have:

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)],
    handle_parsing_errors=False,     # let the raw tool JSON come through
    max_iterations=1,                # only Thought→Action→tool call
    early_stopping_method="force",   # return the tool’s JSON immediately
)

With max_iterations=1 plus early_stopping_method="force", as soon as the model emits:

Thought: …
Action: get_sensor_data
Action Input: Czechia/Travný

LangChain will:

1. Parse out tool="get_sensor_data" and tool_input="Czechia/Travný".
2. Call self.fetch_sensor_("Czechia/Travný") under the hood.
3. Immediately return your dummy JSON as the final output—no second iteration, no timeout.

---

3) Verify

After these changes, run:

print("--- RAW AGENT PROMPT ---")
print(agent_prompt)

self.agent_logs.clear()
result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)

print("=== AGENT LOGS ===")
for line in self.agent_logs:
    print(line)

raw = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result
print("=== AGENT RAW OUTPUT ===")
print(raw)

You should see:

--- RAW AGENT PROMPT ---
You are the Tree’s data-agent. You have one tool:

  get_sensor_data(region)

Given:
  Question: Talk to me about the current weather in your region.
  Region:   Czechia/Travný

Respond using this EXACT format (no Markdown, no asterisks, no backticks):

  Thought: <your reasoning>
  Action: get_sensor_data
  Action Input: Czechia/Travný

Stop immediately after “Action Input.”

=== AGENT LOGS ===
🚀 TOOL START: get_sensor_data(Czechia/Travný)
Thought → Action:   get_sensor_data
Action Input:       Czechia/Travný
✅ TOOL END:   {"temperature":"33","wind_speed":"24","humidity":"0.3"}
Final Output:       {"temperature":"33","wind_speed":"24","humidity":"0.3"}

=== AGENT RAW OUTPUT ===
{"temperature":"33","wind_speed":"24","humidity":"0.3"}

If you still see Markdown in the logs, double-check your YAML for stray •, -, ` or ** characters—remove them so your instructions are entirely plain text. That will guarantee the agent matches the tool name exactly and actually runs it.

here is the print i got now

What’s happening is:

1. Your tool is firing (you see the tool has been called! print).
2. LangChain isn’t returning the tool’s output because after running the tool it still tries another iteration, fails to find a “Final Answer” in the right format, and then hits the iteration limit banner.

The cure is to:

1. Return a clean JSON string from your tool, not a Python-dict or a malformed JSON block.
2. Configure the agent so that one iteration (Thought→Action→tool→return) is all it gets, and it immediately returns the tool output as its final result.
3. Turn off any parsing-error retries so it won’t loop again.

---

1) Fix your tool to return valid JSON

Right now you’re doing:

return config["example_json"]

But in your YAML that block was missing commas, and was loaded as a raw string. Instead, turn it into a real Python dict and then json.dumps it. For example, in your _initialize_config:

import json

# assume example_json in config is already a Python dict:
# example_json:
#   temperature: 33
#   wind_speed: 24
#   humidity: 0.3

def fetch_sensor(region: str) -> str:
    print("tool has been called!")
    # Dump to a one-line JSON string
    return json.dumps(config["example_json"])

This guarantees the agent sees a clean, parseable JSON like:

{"temperature":33,"wind_speed":24,"humidity":0.3}

---

2) Re-initialize the agent for a single, force-stopped iteration

Replace your initialize_agent call with:

from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, AgentType

self.agent_logs = []
self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)],
    handle_parsing_errors=False,    # do NOT retry on bad JSON
    max_iterations=1,               # only one Thought→Action pass
    early_stopping_method="force",  # return tool output immediately
)

• max_iterations=1: the agent only gets one REACT cycle (Thought→Action→Action Input→tool).
• early_stopping_method="force": right after that tool call, LangChain hands you back the tool’s return value as the final agent output.
• handle_parsing_errors=False: no automatic retries if it “can’t parse” its own output.

---

3) Invoke & inspect again

In your generate_tree_response:

# build the prompt as before…
agent_prompt = self.prompts['agent']['template'].format(
    question=question, region=self.region
)

# clear old logs
self.agent_logs.clear()

# run the agent
result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)

# you *will* see this print from your fetch_sensor
#    tool has been called!

# and now your callbacks should have fired:
print("=== AGENT LOGS ===")
for line in self.agent_logs:
    print(line)

# this raw is the JSON string from fetch_sensor
raw = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result
print("=== AGENT RAW OUTPUT ===")
print(raw)

# parse it
import json
live_data = json.loads(raw)
print("LIVE DATA PARSED:", live_data)

You should no longer see

Agent stopped due to iteration limit or time limit.

Instead you’ll see:

tool has been called!
=== AGENT LOGS ===
Thought → Action:   get_sensor_data
Action Input:       Korea/Hongcheon
Final Output:       {"temperature":33,"wind_speed":24,"humidity":0.3}
=== AGENT RAW OUTPUT ===
{"temperature":33,"wind_speed":24,"humidity":0.3}
LIVE DATA PARSED: {'temperature': 33, 'wind_speed': 24, 'humidity': 0.3}

Once you get that, you can merge live_data into your RAG prompt and proceed as before.

You

getting this

=== AGENT LOGS === Thought → Action: get_sensor_data

Action Input: Brazil/Viçosa

I must ensure that after the Action Input, I stop immediately without adding any additional information or formatting.

I should also double-check that there are no markdown elements, asterisks, or backticks in the response. It should be plain text following the exact structure provided.

Finally, I’ll make sure that the response is concise and follows the specified format precisely to meet the user’s requirements.

Thought: I need to retrieve the latest weather data for Brazil/Viçosa using the get_sensor_data tool. Action: get_sensor_data Action Input: Brazil/Viçosa Final Output: Agent stopped due to iteration limit or time limit. LIVE DATA: Agent stopped due to iteration limit or time limit.

are you sure the current prompt is well writtent o instruct for a tool calling? There are no instructions about what to return. How does this usually work when calling custom tools?

I wonder if it would be easier if i had two tools. One to make a call to the API and one that just returns an empty json which would be called when no live weather data are needed. Would that make the instructions less complex or it doesn’t make a difference?

You’re right that the core issue here isn’t the number of tools but the fact that your prompt never told the model what to do after the tool runs, so on a weather question it:

1. Emits

   Thought: …
   Action: get_sensor_data
   Action Input: Brazil/Viçosa

2. LangChain calls your tool (you see “tool has been called!”)
3. The model then goes on its merry way—printing commentary about stopping—because you told it only to stop after Action Input, and you capped to 1 iteration, so it can’t generate an Observation or Final Answer and instead times out.

---

The proper React‐style flow

With a single tool, you want the agent to do exactly this when it needs live data:

Thought: <why you need live data>
Action: get_sensor_data
Action Input: <region>

Observation: <the JSON your tool returned>
Final Answer: <that same JSON, or a narrative if you prefer>

LangChain will unplug in your Python function between Action Input and Observation for you.

You then capture Final Answer as result["output"].

---

1) Update your agent prompt

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data-agent. You have one tool:
      get_sensor_data(region)

    FORMAT YOUR RESPONSE EXACTLY AS FOLLOWS:

      Thought: <why you do or don’t need live data>
      Action: <get_sensor_data or none>
      Action Input: <region or none>
      Observation: <the JSON result of the tool or {} if none>
      Final Answer: <just the JSON result, nothing else>

    EXAMPLE 1 (weather):
      Question: "What’s the current weather like where you are?"
      Thought: The user asked about current weather, so I need fresh sensor data.
      Action: get_sensor_data
      Action Input: {region}
      Observation: {"temperature":22.5,"humidity":0.78}
      Final Answer: {"temperature":22.5,"humidity":0.78}

    EXAMPLE 2 (non-weather):
      Question: "Tell me a story about this tree."
      Thought: They didn’t ask for live data.
      Action: none
      Action Input: none
      Observation: {}
      Final Answer: {}

    NOW YOU:
      Question: {question}
      Region:   {region}

Note:

• We give two few‐shot examples so the model sees exactly how to handle weather vs. non-weather.
• We explicitly include Observation: and Final Answer: in the schema.

2) Configure your agent for 2 passes

In your _initialize_config, wire it up like this:

from langchain.agents import Tool, initialize_agent, AgentType
from langchain.callbacks.base import BaseCallbackHandler
from langchain.schema import AgentAction, AgentFinish

class ListLoggerCallback(BaseCallbackHandler):
    def __init__(self, buf: list):
        self.buf = buf
    def on_agent_action(self, action: AgentAction, **_):
        self.buf.append(f"Thought → Action:   {action.tool}")
        self.buf.append(f"Action Input:       {action.tool_input}")
    def on_agent_finish(self, finish: AgentFinish, **_):
        self.buf.append(f"Final Output:       {finish.return_values.get('output')}")
    def on_tool_start(self, serialized: dict, input_str: str, **_):
        self.buf.append(f"🚀 TOOL START: {serialized.get('name')}({input_str})")
    def on_tool_end(self, output: str, **_):
        self.buf.append(f"✅ TOOL END:   {output}")

# … in ChatManager._initialize_config():

tools = [
    Tool(
        name="get_sensor_data",
        func=self.fetch_sensor_,  # your dummy or real fetcher
        description="Returns latest sensor readings for a region."
    )
]

self.agent_logs = []
self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)],
    handle_parsing_errors=False,     # don’t retry—let bad JSON bubble up
    max_iterations=2,                # 1) Thought→Action→tool  2) Observation→Final
    early_stopping_method="generate" # stop as soon as it emits Observation/Final
)

• Iteration 1: LLM does Thought, Action, Action Input → LangChain runs your tool → feeds result in as Observation
• Iteration 2: LLM sees the Observation in its context, emits Final Answer → chain stops

---

3) Invoke & merge in your chat loop

# build the prompt
agent_prompt = self.prompts["agent"]["template"].format(
    question=question,
    region=self.region
)

# clear logs and run
self.agent_logs.clear()
result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)

# dump what happened
print("=== AGENT LOGS ===")
for line in self.agent_logs:
    print(line)

# capture the Final Answer (the JSON)
raw = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result
print("=== AGENT RAW OUTPUT ===")
print(raw)

# parse safely
import json
try:
    live_data = json.loads(raw)
except:
    live_data = {}
print("LIVE DATA PARSED:", live_data)

# now merge live_data into your RAG prompt as before…

---

Two‐tool approach?

You could create a second tool like:

Tool(name="no_data", func=lambda: "{}", description="Returns empty JSON")

and then in your prompt force the agent to choose either get_sensor_data or no_data. That can make the “no-data” branch a little more explicit. But it doesn’t fundamentally simplify things—your React schema still needs Thought/Action/Action Input/Observation/Final, and you still merge the result. Usually it’s simpler to let the agent pick “none” and then in your code treat “no tool call” as {}.

---

Bottom line

1. Give the agent a full React schema (Thought→Action→Action Input→Observation→Final Answer) with two examples.
2. Use max_iterations=2 + early_stopping_method="generate" so you get exactly one tool call and one final answer.
3. Capture and parse the final JSON for your live_data merge.

That pattern is the tried-and-true way to get automatic tool-calling and concrete output from LangChain’s React agents.

You

Do i really need to give examples in the prompt? Is that advisable or will it complicate it when it receives a line that is phrased a little bit different? for example you say in your example Question: “What’s the current weather like where you are?”. What if the query is “What’s the temperature in your forest today?”

ChatGPT

ChatGPT

You don’t have to few-shot your prompt—sometimes a single, clear set of instructions is enough. In fact, too many examples can over-constrain the model to those exact phrasings, so a differently-worded question like “What’s the temperature in your forest today?” might not trigger the pattern you demonstrated.

---

A more robust single-shot prompt

Instead of hard-coding two “Example:” blocks, you can give the LLM a generic rule that covers all weather-related questions by keyword. For instance:

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data-agent. You have one tool:

      get_sensor_data(region)

    If the user’s question is asking for *any* current weather measurement
    (for example: temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed, etc.),
    you MUST call:

      Thought: The question is about current weather, so I need live data.
      Action: get_sensor_data
      Action Input: {region}

    Otherwise, you should call no tool:

      Thought: This question doesn’t need live data.
      Action: none
      Action Input: none

    ALWAYS FOLLOW THESE RULES:
      • Only output the five lines above (Thought, Action, Action Input,
        Observation, Final Answer) in React format.
      • After Action Input, the agent framework will run the tool and
        insert the Observation line automatically.
      • Then on the next iteration, output:
          Observation: <JSON result>
          Final Answer: <same JSON>

    Now given:
      Question: {question}
      Region:   {region}

Why this works

• Keyword-based, not example-based, so any phrasing about “temperature,” “weather,” “rain,” “humidity,” etc. will match.
• No Markdown, no bullets in your lines—just plain text that the model can mimic exactly.
• Explicit flow: you tell it exactly where Observation comes from (the tool) and what Final Answer should look like.

---

Handling varied question wording

Even with that, you may still want to cover synonyms. You can expand your “If …” line:

If the question mentions any of these words (case-insensitive):
weather, temperature, humidity, rain, wind, precipitation, forecast

Or, for ultimate reliability, you can pre-classify the question in your Python code:

weather_keywords = {"weather","temperature","humidity","rain","wind","precipitation","forecast"}
if any(word in question.lower() for word in weather_keywords):
    is_weather = True
else:
    is_weather = False

Then pass that flag into your prompt:

Now given:
  Question: {question}
  Region:   {region}
  IsWeatherQuestion: {is_weather}

If IsWeatherQuestion == true, …call the tool; else none.

That way your agent sees an unambiguous Boolean rather than having to pattern-match in natural language.

---

Trade-offs

• Few-shot can be more intuitive for the model but brittle on re-phrasing.
• Instruction-only is lighter and more maintainable, but you need to be very explicit about the keywords or pre-classify the question.

Given your use-case, I’d recommend the single-shot, keyword-based approach (or even offload classification to your Python code) so you don’t have to update your prompt every time someone asks “How hot is your forest?” vs. “What’s the humidity there?”

You

SHould these actually be in the prompt?

• After Action Input, the agent framework will run the tool and insert the Observation line automatically. • Then on the next iteration, output: Observation: Final Answer:

ChatGPT

ChatGPT

ChatGPT

No—anything that refers to “the agent framework” or how LangChain “inserts” the Observation belongs in your code comments, not in the LLM’s prompt. The model doesn’t need to know about your runtime mechanics. Instead, simply tell it:

“Whenever you call a tool, emit these five lines in order:

1. Thought: …
2. Action: …
3. Action Input: …
4. Observation: …
5. Final Answer: …

And stop after Final Answer.”

Concretely, your prompt might look like:

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data-agent. You have one tool:

      get_sensor_data(region)

    FORMAT YOUR RESPONSE EXACTLY AS FOLLOWS:
      Thought: <why you need or don’t need live data>
      Action: <get_sensor_data or none>
      Action Input: <region or none>
      Observation: <the JSON result of the tool or {} if none>
      Final Answer: <repeat the JSON result, nothing else>

    EXAMPLE – weather question:
      Question: "What’s the temperature right now?"
      Thought: It’s a weather question, so I need live data.
      Action: get_sensor_data
      Action Input: {region}
      Observation: {"temperature":22.5,"humidity":0.7}
      Final Answer: {"temperature":22.5,"humidity":0.7}

    NOW YOU:
      Question: {question}
      Region:   {region}

– That tells the model exactly what to spit out, without any internal‐framework commentary. LangChain will handle:

1. Seeing your “Action” + “Action Input”
2. Running get_sensor_data(region) for you
3. Inserting the tool’s JSON as the “Observation”
4. Turning that into the Final Answer field

Your prompt only needs to define the format and let the agent runtime fill in the Observation.

You

i though we said no examples

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

You’re right—let’s strip out all the few-shot examples and boil it down to a single, generic instruction that the LLM can apply to any weather-related question, without showing it specific cases.

---

🚀 Instruction-only React prompt

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data-agent. You have one tool:

      get_sensor_data(region)

    WHENEVER the user’s question is asking for *current weather data*
    (e.g. temperature, humidity, rain, wind, etc.), you must output **exactly**:

      Thought: <why you need live weather data>
      Action: get_sensor_data
      Action Input: {region}
      Observation: <the JSON result of the tool>
      Final Answer: <repeat that JSON, nothing else>

    OTHERWISE (if the question isn’t about current weather), you must output:

      Thought: <why no live data is needed>
      Action: none
      Action Input: none
      Observation: {}
      Final Answer: {}

    Only output those five lines—no more, no less.
    Stop after “Final Answer.”

    Question: {question}
    Region:   {region}

Key points

• No examples—just a clear description of the five-line React schema.
• Keyword-based trigger (“when the question is asking for current weather data…”) lets it generalize to any phrasing.
• Literal placeholders {region} and {question} get filled in by your Python code.

---

How LangChain uses it

1. You call:

   agent_prompt = self.prompts["agent"]["template"].format(
       question=question,
       region=self.region
   )
   result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)

2. Under the hood, LangChain will:
   • Feed that prompt to your HFAdapter LLM
   • Parse out the Action/Action Input
   • Automatically call your get_sensor_data(region) tool
   • Inject the tool’s JSON as Observation
   • Feed it back so the LLM can emit the Final Answer
3. You grab result["output"], which is the content of that final JSON line.

This way you get zero hard-coded examples but a robust, generic instruction that covers all weather queries.

You

and i need two iterations for that workflow. Correct?

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

Exactly—under the React pattern you’ll want two passes:

1. Iteration 1

   • Thought → decide you need live data
   • Action → get_sensor_data
   • Action Input → {region}
     LangChain then calls your tool and injects its JSON result as Observation: under the hood.

2. Iteration 2

   • The LLM sees that Observation: <JSON> in its context
   • It emits

     Final Answer: <that same JSON, nothing else>

To make that happen, configure your agent like this:

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)],
    handle_parsing_errors=False,
    max_iterations=2,             # allow 2 passes
    early_stopping_method="generate"  # stop after the generate step in pass 2
)

• max_iterations=2 lets the agent do the Thought/Action/tool → Observation pass, then the Final Answer pass.
• early_stopping_method="generate" ensures it halts immediately after producing that Final Answer.

If instead you only care about getting the raw tool output (and don’t need the Observation:/Final Answer: formatting), you can drop back to one iteration with early_stopping_method="force"—but for the full two‐line Observation then Final flow, yes, you need two iterations.

You

generate not force for early stopping? What’s the difference and what’s the one i should use? Because you’ve alternated between the two a lot

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

The two early_stopping_method options control when the agent halts its REACT loop:

1. "force"

   • Stops immediately after the tool call (i.e. right after it executes Action → Action Input and you’ve wired in the tool).
   • The agent’s “output” becomes whatever your Python function returned—and it never gets to emit an Observation or Final Answer.
   • Use this when all you care about is the raw tool JSON, in one iteration (max_iterations=1).

2. "generate"

   • Lets the agent run through to its next generation step.
   • With max_iterations=2, it will do:
     1. Iteration 1: Thought → Action → Action Input → tool runs
     2. Iteration 2: it sees the injected Observation and then “generates” a Final Answer, and stops.
   • Use this when you want the full React flow—i.e. you want the model to wrap the tool output in a Final Answer (even if that’s just repeating the JSON).

---

Which to choose?

• If you want two iterations (i.e. Thought/Action + tool → Observation, then a clean Final Answer), set

  max_iterations=2
  early_stopping_method="generate"

  That way the agent will produce your five‐line React schema (including Observation & Final Answer).

• If you only need the tool’s raw JSON and don’t need the model to produce any “Final Answer” wrapper, you can simplify to one iteration with

  max_iterations=1
  early_stopping_method="force"

Since you’re aiming for a two‐step React workflow (Observation → Final Answer), stick with early_stopping_method="generate".

You

Wait. In reality I don’t need two steps. Once the tool is called i just want the output of the tool to be returned. In that case would it be useful to have a second dummy tool that will just return an empty json?

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

You can absolutely collapse it to a single‐step React agent, and a second “empty” tool can make your prompt simpler—every time the model calls exactly one tool, you get back valid JSON with no extra logic.

---

1) Add a dummy “no_data” tool

import json
from langchain.agents import Tool

# real sensor fetcher
def fetch_sensor(region: str) -> str:
    # return a one‐line JSON string
    return json.dumps(config["example_json"])

# dummy “no data” fetcher
def fetch_empty(region: str) -> str:
    return "{}"

tools = [
    Tool(
        name="get_sensor_data",
        func=fetch_sensor,
        description="Return latest sensor readings for the region as JSON."
    ),
    Tool(
        name="get_empty_data",
        func=fetch_empty,
        description="Return empty JSON when no live data is needed."
    ),
]

---

2) One‐shot agent config

from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, AgentType
from langchain.callbacks.base import BaseCallbackHandler
from langchain.schema import AgentAction, AgentFinish

class ListLoggerCallback(BaseCallbackHandler):
    def __init__(self, buf:list): self.buf=buf
    def on_agent_action(self, action:AgentAction, **_):
        self.buf.append(f"→ Action:  {action.tool}({action.tool_input})")
    def on_agent_finish(self, finish:AgentFinish, **_):
        self.buf.append(f"Final:     {finish.return_values['output']}")

# in your _initialize_config
self.agent_logs = []
self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)],
    handle_parsing_errors=False,
    max_iterations=1,            # just one REACT pass
    early_stopping_method="force" # return the tool output immediately
)

---

3) Single‐shot prompt

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data-agent. You have two tools:

      get_sensor_data(region)   – returns live sensor JSON
      get_empty_data(region)    – returns {}

    For any question about current weather (temperature, humidity, rain, wind, etc.),
    you must call **get_sensor_data**. Otherwise call **get_empty_data**.

    OUTPUT exactly and only one line:

      Action: <tool_name>(<region>)

    Question: {question}
    Region:   {region}

You never mention “Thought” or “Final Answer” here—your goal is simply to tell the agent which tool to run. LangChain will then invoke that tool and hand you back its JSON as the agent’s single‐line output.

---

4) Invoke & grab JSON

# in generate_tree_response
self.agent_logs.clear()

agent_prompt = self.prompts["agent"]["template"].format(
    question=question,
    region=self.region
)
result = self.agent.invoke(input=agent_prompt)

# see what was chosen
print("=== AGENT LOGS ===")
for l in self.agent_logs: print(l)
# e.g. → Action: get_sensor_data(Czechia/Travný)

# get the JSON
raw = result["output"] if isinstance(result, dict) else result
print("LIVE DATA JSON:", raw)
live_data = json.loads(raw)

---

Why this is simpler

• One iteration: Thought→Action is baked into your prompt (“for weather calls get_sensor_data, else get_empty_data”).
• No “none”: the agent always invokes one of two tools, each of which returns valid JSON.
• Early stop: early_stopping_method="force" means as soon as it decides which tool to call, you immediately get its JSON.

You don’t need a second pass for Observation/Final Answer—your prompt unambiguously tells the model which tool to call, and your code grabs the JSON.

You

should the tools return a string or a dict?

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

Under a React‐style agent with early_stopping_method="force", whatever your tool returns is immediately handed back as the agent’s “output.” If your tool returns a Python dict, Python’s default str(dict) uses single quotes and a non-JSON syntax:

{'temperature': 22.5, 'humidity': 0.78}

That will be injected into your prompt as

Observation: {'temperature': 22.5, 'humidity': 0.78}

and it’s not valid JSON (double‐quoted keys/strings) for downstream parsing.

---

Recommendation

Have your tools return a JSON‐encoded str, i.e. a one-line, double-quoted JSON string:

import json

def fetch_sensor(region: str) -> str:
    data = {"temperature": 22.5, "humidity": 0.78}
    return json.dumps(data)   # → '{"temperature": 22.5, "humidity": 0.78}'

That way, when LangChain does:

1. LLM emits

   Thought: …
   Action: get_sensor_data
   Action Input: Korea/Hongcheon

2. Tool runs, returns '{"temperature":22.5,"humidity":0.78}'
3. LangChain immediately returns that string as result["output"]

You can then safely do:

live_data = json.loads(result["output"])

and merge live_data into your final prompt.

---

Quick summary

• Return a str: your tool should return json.dumps(your_dict).
• Why not dict?: Python’s str(dict) isn’t valid JSON and will break your parsing.
• Parsing: After result = agent.invoke(...), do live_data = json.loads(result["output"]).

That guarantees a clean, valid JSON payload flows from your tool → agent → your code.

You

wait so the prompt end with that

OUTPUT exactly and only one line:

  Action: <tool_name>(<region>)

Question: {question}
Region:   {region}

will the tool ACTUALLY be called?

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

Yes—so long as you’ve built your agent with a React‐style executor (e.g. AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION) and registered your get_sensor_data tool, when the LLM emits:

Action: get_sensor_data(Korea/Hongcheon)

LangChain will:

1. Parse out tool_name="get_sensor_data" and tool_input="Korea/Hongcheon".
2. Invoke your fetch_sensor("Korea/Hongcheon") function under the hood.
3. Capture its return value as the agent’s output.

---

Minimal example

from langchain.agents import Tool, initialize_agent, AgentType

# 1) Your tool returns a JSON string
def fetch_sensor(region: str) -> str:
    return json.dumps({"temperature":22.5, "humidity":0.78})

tools = [
    Tool(
        name="get_sensor_data",
        func=fetch_sensor,
        description="Returns latest sensor data as JSON."
    )
]

# 2) Build a one‐shot React agent
agent = initialize_agent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    handle_parsing_errors=False,
    max_iterations=1,            # one pass: Thought→Action→tool
    early_stopping_method="force" # return tool output immediately
)

# 3) Your prompt ends on the Action line…
prompt = """You are the Tree’s data-agent.
If the question is about current weather, output exactly:

  Thought: I need live data
  Action: get_sensor_data(Korea/Hongcheon)

Stop here."""

# 4) Run it:
result = agent.invoke(input=prompt)
print(result["output"])
# → '{"temperature":22.5,"humidity":0.78}'

Even though your prompt doesn’t spell out “Observation” or “Final Answer,” the agent executor sees the Action: line, calls fetch_sensor, and hands you back its JSON as result["output"].

You

i got that

Error in generate_tree_response at RAG or after: An output parsing error occurred. In order to pass this error back to the agent and have it try again, pass handle_parsing_errors=True to the AgentExecutor. This is the error: Could not parse LLM output: `

Action: get_sensor_data(“Korea/Hongcheon”)`

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

[Unsupported Content]

ChatGPT

That error is coming from the stray <think> tags your LLM is still emitting—it’s spitting out:

</think>

</think>

Action: get_sensor_data("Korea/Hongcheon")

and LangChain’s React parser can’t pull a clean Action: line out of that, so it bails on “could not parse LLM output.”

---

1) Kill all the <think> scaffolding

You need to tell the model never to emit those tags. In your agent prompt, remove any reference to <think> (or any internal‐reasoning markers) and lock it down to only the Action: line. For example:

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data-agent. You have one tool:

      get_sensor_data(region)

    WHENEVER the question asks for current weather (temperature, humidity, rain, wind, etc.),
    output exactly one line **only**:

      Action: get_sensor_data({region})

    Do NOT output any other text, tags, reasoning, or newlines.

    Question: {question}
    Region:   {region}

Note:

• We explicitly say “Do NOT output any other text, tags, reasoning, or newlines.”
• We show exactly the format, with {region} placeholder.

---

2) Rebuild your agent for a single step

Because you no longer need Thought/Observation/Final, switch to one iteration + force:

from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, AgentType

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)],
    handle_parsing_errors=False,    # we’ll get exactly the tool output or full JSON
    max_iterations=1,               # single pass: Action → tool call
    early_stopping_method="force",  # return the tool’s JSON immediately
)

---

3) (Optional) Let the agent retry on parse errors

If you still want LangChain to automatically retry a bad parse (e.g. if it slips in a space or quotes the region differently), turn parsing back on:

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)],
    handle_parsing_errors=True,     # retry once on a malformed Action
    max_iterations=1,
    early_stopping_method="force",
)

---

4) Verify

After these changes, when you ask:

“What’s the current weather in your forest today?”

Your console should show:

🔔 tool has been called!
=== AGENT LOGS ===
→ Action:  get_sensor_data(Korea/Hongcheon)
Final:     {"temperature":22.5,"humidity":0.78}
=== AGENT RAW OUTPUT ===
{"temperature":22.5,"humidity":0.78}

—and no <think> tags or parsing errors.

You

in the rest of the prompts i have a regex that strips the response of the tags whci i don’t think can be avoided with DeepSeek but will that trick work with tooll calling?

ChatGPT

You absolutely can use that same <think>-stripping regex — but you need to apply it before the AgentExecutor tries to parse out the Action: line. If you only strip tags after the fact, the parser already choked on them and timed out.

---

🛠 Two easy ways to integrate your regex clean-up

1) Wrap your LLM to strip tags for all agent calls

Make a tiny subclass of your adapter that strips <think> tags in its _call, and plug that into your agent:

import re
from langchain.llms.base import LLM
from your_adapter import HFAdapter

class CleaningAdapter(HFAdapter):
    """Remove any <think>…</think> markers before handing text back to LangChain."""
    def _call(self, prompt: str, stop=None) -> str:
        raw = super()._call(prompt, stop=stop)
        # strip both opening and closing tags
        cleaned = re.sub(r"</?think>", "", raw)
        return cleaned

Then in _initialize_config, use CleaningAdapter for your agent:

# instead of self.llm = HFAdapter(raw_hf)
cleaning_llm = CleaningAdapter(raw_hf)
self.agent = initialize_agent(
  tools=tools,
  llm=cleaning_llm,
  agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
  # …
)

Now all <think> markers are gone by the time LangChain tries to parse Action:.

---

2) Post-LLM, pre-parser hook (more surgical)

If you’d rather keep your existing adapter for the final “Tree” calls, you can install a tiny callback on the agent that intercepts the raw LLM output and strips tags just before parsing:

from langchain.callbacks.base import BaseCallbackHandler
from langchain.schema import LLMResult

class StripThinkCallback(BaseCallbackHandler):
    def on_llm_new_token(self, token: str, **_):
        # no-op; we need a chain-level hook
        pass

    def on_tool_start(self, *args, **kwargs):
        # no-op; just making sure we catch after generation
        pass

    def on_llm_end(self, response: LLMResult, **_):
        # called right after the LLM finishes
        cleaned = []
        for gen_list in response.generations:
            for gen in gen_list:
                gen.text = re.sub(r"</?think>", "", gen.text)
        return response

Then:

self.agent = initialize_agent(
  tools=tools,
  llm=self.llm,
  agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
  callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs), StripThinkCallback()],
  # …
)

That ensures your clean-up runs exactly when the Agent’s LLM call returns but before its output parser kicks in.

---

TL;DR

• You must strip <think> tags before the agent’s output parser runs (not afterward).
• The simplest is to subclass your adapter (as in option 1) so that every call from the agent sees a clean string.
• Once those tags are gone, your Action: get_sensor_data(...) lines will parse, the tool will fire, and you won’t get the iteration‐limit error.

wait, instead of writting yet another adapter can’t i just do it on the current HFAdapter? here is the code

You can fold the <think>-stripping logic right into your existing HFAdapter by munging the text in its _call (and/or in _generate) before handing it back to LangChain. Here’s the minimal change:

import re
from typing import List, Optional, Union
from pydantic import PrivateAttr
from langchain.schema import LLMResult, Generation, PromptValue, ChatMessage
from langchain_core.language_models.base import BaseLanguageModel
from langchain_core.prompt_values import ChatPromptValue
from HF_API_Wrapper import HuggingFaceAPI

class HFAdapter(BaseLanguageModel):
    _hf_api: HuggingFaceAPI = PrivateAttr()

    def __init__(self, hf_api: HuggingFaceAPI, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)
        object.__setattr__(self, "_hf_api", hf_api)

    @property
    def _llm_type(self) -> str:
        return "hf_adapter"

    def _strip_think_tags(self, text: str) -> str:
        # remove any <think> or </think> tags
        return re.sub(r"</?think>", "", text)

    def _call(self, prompt: str, stop: Optional[List[str]] = None) -> str:
        raw = self._hf_api.invoke(prompt)
        return self._strip_think_tags(raw)

    def _generate(
        self,
        prompts: List[str],
        stop: Optional[List[str]] = None,
        callbacks: Optional[list] = None,
        run_manager=None,
        **kwargs
    ) -> LLMResult:
        gens = []
        for p in prompts:
            raw = self._hf_api.invoke(p)
            clean = self._strip_think_tags(raw)
            gens.append([Generation(text=clean)])
        return LLMResult(generations=gens)

    # … rest of your invoke/predict/generate_prompt methods unchanged …

What this does:

• Every time LangChain asks your adapter for text—whether via _call (single‐shot) or _generate (batch)—you first grab the raw LLM output from HuggingFaceAPI.invoke, then strip out all <think> and </think> tags.
• You don’t need a second subclass or separate wrapper; this change lives in your existing adapter.

After you deploy that change, your React‐agent will see clean prompts and will correctly parse Action: get_sensor_data(…) without choking on stray <think> markers.

wait do i want to strip the think tags or just get the response after them? I think the latter

You’re right—if your LLM is using <think>…</think> purely for its private reasoning, you’ll want to drop everything up to and including the last </think> and return only what comes after. Stripping the tags would still leave the inner reasoning text, which you don’t want.

Here’s how you can change your existing HFAdapter so that both single‐shot calls (_call) and batch calls (_generate) only return whatever follows the final closing tag:

import re
from typing import List, Optional
from pydantic import PrivateAttr
from langchain.schema import LLMResult, Generation
from langchain_core.language_models.base import BaseLanguageModel
from HF_API_Wrapper import HuggingFaceAPI

class HFAdapter(BaseLanguageModel):
    _hf_api: HuggingFaceAPI = PrivateAttr()

    def __init__(self, hf_api: HuggingFaceAPI, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)
        object.__setattr__(self, "_hf_api", hf_api)

    @property
    def _llm_type(self) -> str:
        return "hf_adapter"

    def _postprocess(self, text: str) -> str:
        # If we have a closing </think> tag, drop everything up to it.
        if "</think>" in text:
            return text.split("</think>", 1)[1].strip()
        # Otherwise just return as‐is
        return text.strip()

    def _call(self, prompt: str, stop: Optional[List[str]] = None) -> str:
        raw = self._hf_api.invoke(prompt)
        return self._postprocess(raw)

    def _generate(
        self,
        prompts: List[str],
        stop: Optional[List[str]] = None,
        callbacks: Optional[list] = None,
        run_manager=None,
        **kwargs
    ) -> LLMResult:
        generations = []
        for p in prompts:
            raw = self._hf_api.invoke(p)
            clean = self._postprocess(raw)
            generations.append([Generation(text=clean)])
        return LLMResult(generations=generations)

    # … your invoke, predict, generate_prompt, etc. stay the same …

What this does:

• After every call to your HF API, _postprocess looks for the first occurrence of </think> and returns only what follows it.
• If for some reason there’s no </think>, it just trims whitespace and hands back the whole text.
• This way your React agent sees only the clean Action: line (or whatever actual answer) with no stray reasoning tags.

Plug that into your adapter and you’ll no longer need separate stripping logic; all your tool‐calling and final prompts will get just the answer part every time.

Error in generate_tree_response at RAG or after: An output parsing error occurred. In order to pass this error back to the agent and have it try again, pass handle_parsing_errors=True to the AgentExecutor. This is the error: Could not parse LLM output: Action: get_sensor_data("Brazil/Viçosa")

The core of the problem is that the built-in React parser in ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION is looking for two separate lines:

Action: TOOL_NAME
Action Input: TOOL_ARGUMENT

but you’re emitting:

Action: get_sensor_data("Brazil/Viçosa")

which doesn’t match, so it never dispatches the tool and then times out on iteration 1. You have two options:

---

1) Switch back to proper React format

Have your LLM output two distinct lines, no parentheses, so the parser picks them up automatically:

Agent prompt

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data‐agent. You have one tool:

      get_sensor_data(region)

    WHENEVER the question asks for current weather (temperature, humidity, rain, wind, etc.),
    output exactly **three** lines:

      Thought: <why you need live data>
      Action: get_sensor_data
      Action Input: {region}

    Do NOT output anything else.
    Question: {question}
    Region:   {region}

Agent config

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)],
    handle_parsing_errors=False,
    max_iterations=1,              # one pass: Thought→Action→tool
    early_stopping_method="force", # immediately return tool output
)

Now when the model sees a weather question it will emit:

Thought: It’s about weather, so I need live data.
Action: get_sensor_data
Action Input: Brazil/Viçosa

LangChain will spot those two lines, call your get_sensor_data("Brazil/Viçosa") function and return its JSON as result["output"].

---

2) (Advanced) Use a custom parser to accept your one-liner

If you really prefer the single-line:

Action: get_sensor_data(Brazil/Viçosa)

you’d have to override the agent’s output‐parser to split out the tool name and argument yourself:

from langchain.agents import AgentExecutor
from langchain.agents.react.output_parser import ReactOutputParser

class ParensReactParser(ReactOutputParser):
    def parse(self, text: str):
        # Strip any think tags, then regex‐extract
        clean = re.sub(r"</?think>", "", text).strip()
        m = re.match(r"Action:\s*(\w+)$(.+)$", clean)
        if not m:
            raise Exception("Could not find Action(tool)")
        return {"tool": m.group(1), "tool_input": m.group(2)}

# Then build executor manually with your parser
agent_exec = AgentExecutor.from_agent_and_tools(
    agent=your_zero_shot_react_agent,
    tools=tools,
    output_parser=ParensReactParser(),
    max_iterations=1,
    early_stopping_method="force",
)

This is more code, but lets you keep the single-line syntax.

---

Which to choose?

Unless you have a very strong reason to keep (…) in the Action, Option 1 is by far simpler. Just tell the model:

• Line 1 – Thought
• Line 2 – Action: get_sensor_data
• Line 3 – Action Input: Brazil/Viçosa

and LangChain will handle the rest.

You

here is my current prompt

agent: template: | You are the Tree’s data-agent. You have two tools:

    get_sensor_data(region)   – returns live sensor JSON
    get_empty_data(region)    – returns {{}}

  For any question about current weather reporting or live weather measurements (temperature, humidity, rain, wind, etc.),
  you MUST call **get_sensor_data**.
  Otherwise call **get_empty_data**.

  OUTPUT exactly and only one line:

    Action: <tool_name>(<region>)

  Do NOT output any other text, tags, reasoning, or newlines.

  Question: {question}
  Region:   {region}

Here’s a version that your React‐agent will reliably parse and dispatch—no parentheses or Markdown in the Action lines, and split out into the two lines it expects:

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data-agent. You have two tools:
      get_sensor_data(region)   - returns live sensor JSON
      get_empty_data(region)    - returns {}

    If the question asks for any current weather measurement
    (temperature, humidity, rain, wind, etc.), call get_sensor_data.
    Otherwise, call get_empty_data.

    OUTPUT exactly and only these two lines—nothing else:

      Action: <tool_name>
      Action Input: <region>

    Do NOT output any other text, tags, reasoning, or newlines.

    Question: {question}
    Region:   {region}

Key changes

• No ** or parentheses in Action:—just the literal tool name.
• Separated into two lines:

  Action: get_sensor_data
  Action Input: Korea/Hongcheon

• Explicit: “OUTPUT exactly and only these two lines—nothing else.”

With this prompt and your agent built as:

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)],
    handle_parsing_errors=False,
    max_iterations=1,
    early_stopping_method="force",
)

…when you ask anything weather-related, the model will emit those two lines, LangChain will see them, call the matching tool, and return its JSON as the agent’s output.

You

Now i got this

---------> live weather tool has been called! === AGENT LOGS === Thought → Action: get_sensor_data Action Input: Brazil/Viçosa Final Output: Agent stopped due to iteration limit or time limit. LIVE DATA: Agent stopped due to iteration limit or time limit.

Because you’re only emitting the two React lines—

Action: get_sensor_data
Action Input: Brazil/Viçosa

—and not telling the model to output an Observation: or Final Answer: line, the React executor is successfully calling your tool (you see the print), but then it immediately looks for the next generation step (an Observation/Final Answer) and, finding none, hits its iteration limit banner.

---

Fix: collapse to one pass and force the tool’s return value as final

1. Only one iteration: the agent should do Thought→Action→tool call in its only pass
2. Force stop: as soon as the tool runs, return its JSON as the agent output

Here’s the change you need in your agent initialization:

from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, AgentType

self.agent = initialize_agent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=self.llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    callbacks=[ListLoggerCallback(self.agent_logs)],
    handle_parsing_errors=False,     # no JSON parse retries
    max_iterations=1,                # only one REACT pass
    early_stopping_method="force",   # return tool output immediately
)

With that:

• Iteration 1: LLM emits

  Action: get_sensor_data
  Action Input: Brazil/Viçosa

• LangChain calls get_sensor_data("Brazil/Viçosa")
• Because of early_stopping_method="force", that JSON string becomes the agent’s final output—there is no second iteration to produce a Final Answer.

---

Your prompt stays the same

agent:
  template: |
    You are the Tree’s data-agent. You have two tools:
      get_sensor_data(region)   - returns live sensor JSON
      get_empty_data(region)    - returns {}

    If the question asks for any current weather measurement
    (temperature, humidity, rain, wind, etc.), call get_sensor_data.
    Otherwise, call get_empty_data.

    OUTPUT exactly and only these two lines—nothing else:

      Action: <tool_name>
      Action Input: <region>

    Do NOT output any other text, tags, reasoning, or newlines.

    Question: {question}
    Region:   {region}

Because the agent is only running one pass and forcing the tool result as the final answer, you will now get:

🔔 tool has been called!
=== AGENT LOGS ===
Thought → Action:   get_sensor_data
Action Input:       Brazil/Viçosa
Final Output:       {"temperature":"33","wind_speed":"24","humidity":"0.3"}
=== AGENT RAW OUTPUT ===
{"temperature":"33","wind_speed":"24","humidity":"0.3"}

—and no “iteration limit” message, and result["output"] will be the live JSON you can merge into your Tree’s final response.

I already had my agent defined with 1 max iteration and force

ChatGPT

At this point it’s clear the React‐agent loop with max_iterations=1, early_stopping_method="force" is still slipping in a “stopped due to iteration limit” because—even though your prompt is unambiguous—the executor still expects a second generation step that never comes.

Rather than continue to wrestle with React, I recommend short-circuiting the agent entirely for this one tool. You already have a perfectly good classification step (or you can keyword-match in Python) to detect “weather” questions, so do this:

---

1) Detect “weather” in code, not in the agent

# in generate_tree_response, before you fire the agent:

weather_keywords = {"weather","temperature","humidity","rain","wind","precipitation","forecast"}
is_weather = any(kw in question.lower() for kw in weather_keywords)

if is_weather:
    # direct tool call
    raw = self.fetch_sensor_(self.region)    # returns JSON string
    live_data = json.loads(raw)
else:
    raw = self.fetch_empty(self.region)
    live_data = {}

You completely bypass the agent for this step—you know exactly when you need live data.

---

2) Merge with your RAG + “Tree” LLM exactly as before

merged_info = flattened_rag
if live_data:
    merged_info += "\n\n[LIVE DATA]\n" + json.dumps(live_data, indent=2)

final_template = self.instruction + self.prompts['tree_response']['template']
final_prompt = final_template.format(
    chat_history=formatted_history,
    question=question,
    retrieved_info=merged_info,
    tree_thoughts=tree_thoughts
)
raw_answer = self.llm.invoke(final_prompt)
clean_answer = self.clean_text(raw_answer)

---

Why this is simpler

• Zero agent overhead: you don’t fight with iterations, thinking tags, React parsing errors, etc.
• Deterministic: your Python code handles the binary decision “weather or not,” so there’s no mis‐parsing.
• Unified: you still use RAG for other categories, and you still feed everything into your “Tree” LLM exactly the same way.

If you really want to keep the agent, you’ll need to switch to a two‐pass React (max_iterations=2, early_stopping_method="generate") and include both Observation: and Final Answer: in your prompt, which you explicitly didn’t want. Given the brittleness you’ve run into, a simple pre‐classification + direct tool call is far more robust.
