ChatAnthropicTools#

class langchain_anthropic.experimental.ChatAnthropicTools[source]#

Bases: ChatAnthropic

Deprecated since version 0.1.5: Tool-calling is now officially supported by the Anthropic API so this workaround is no longer needed. Use ChatAnthropic instead.

Chat model for interacting with Anthropic functions.

Note

ChatAnthropicTools implements the standard Runnable Interface. 🏃

The Runnable Interface has additional methods that are available on runnables, such as with_types, with_retry, assign, bind, get_graph, and more.

param anthropic_api_key: SecretStr [Optional] (alias 'api_key')#

Automatically read from env var ANTHROPIC_API_KEY if not provided.

param anthropic_api_url: str | None [Optional] (alias 'base_url')#

Base URL for API requests. Only specify if using a proxy or service emulator.

If a value isn’t passed in, will attempt to read the value first from ANTHROPIC_API_URL and if that is not set, ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL. If neither are set, the default value of ‘https://api.anthropic.com’ will be used.

param cache: BaseCache | bool | None = None#

Whether to cache the response.

  • If true, will use the global cache.

  • If false, will not use a cache

  • If None, will use the global cache if it’s set, otherwise no cache.

  • If instance of BaseCache, will use the provided cache.

Caching is not currently supported for streaming methods of models.

param callback_manager: BaseCallbackManager | None = None#

Deprecated since version 0.1.7: Use callbacks() instead.

Callback manager to add to the run trace.

param callbacks: Callbacks = None#

Callbacks to add to the run trace.

param custom_get_token_ids: Callable[[str], list[int]] | None = None#

Optional encoder to use for counting tokens.

param default_headers: Mapping[str, str] | None = None#

Headers to pass to the Anthropic clients, will be used for every API call.

param default_request_timeout: float | None = None (alias 'timeout')#

Timeout for requests to Anthropic Completion API.

param disable_streaming: bool | Literal['tool_calling'] = False#

Whether to disable streaming for this model.

If streaming is bypassed, then stream()/astream() will defer to invoke()/ainvoke().

  • If True, will always bypass streaming case.

  • If “tool_calling”, will bypass streaming case only when the model is called with a tools keyword argument.

  • If False (default), will always use streaming case if available.

param max_retries: int = 2#

Number of retries allowed for requests sent to the Anthropic Completion API.

param max_tokens: int = 1024 (alias 'max_tokens_to_sample')#

Denotes the number of tokens to predict per generation.

param metadata: dict[str, Any] | None = None#

Metadata to add to the run trace.

param model: str [Required] (alias 'model_name')#

Model name to use.

param model_kwargs: Dict[str, Any] [Optional]#
param rate_limiter: BaseRateLimiter | None = None#

An optional rate limiter to use for limiting the number of requests.

param stop_sequences: List[str] | None = None (alias 'stop')#

Default stop sequences.

param stream_usage: bool = True#

Whether to include usage metadata in streaming output. If True, additional message chunks will be generated during the stream including usage metadata.

param streaming: bool = False#

Whether to use streaming or not.

param tags: list[str] | None = None#

Tags to add to the run trace.

param temperature: float | None = None#

A non-negative float that tunes the degree of randomness in generation.

param top_k: int | None = None#

Number of most likely tokens to consider at each step.

param top_p: float | None = None#

Total probability mass of tokens to consider at each step.

param verbose: bool [Optional]#

Whether to print out response text.

__call__(messages: list[BaseMessage], stop: list[str] | None = None, callbacks: list[BaseCallbackHandler] | BaseCallbackManager | None = None, **kwargs: Any) BaseMessage#

Deprecated since version langchain-core==0.1.7: Use invoke() instead.

Parameters:
Return type:

BaseMessage

async abatch(inputs: list[Input], config: RunnableConfig | list[RunnableConfig] | None = None, *, return_exceptions: bool = False, **kwargs: Any | None) list[Output]#

Default implementation runs ainvoke in parallel using asyncio.gather.

The default implementation of batch works well for IO bound runnables.

Subclasses should override this method if they can batch more efficiently; e.g., if the underlying Runnable uses an API which supports a batch mode.

Parameters:
  • inputs (list[Input]) – A list of inputs to the Runnable.

  • config (RunnableConfig | list[RunnableConfig] | None) – A config to use when invoking the Runnable. The config supports standard keys like ‘tags’, ‘metadata’ for tracing purposes, ‘max_concurrency’ for controlling how much work to do in parallel, and other keys. Please refer to the RunnableConfig for more details. Defaults to None.

  • return_exceptions (bool) – Whether to return exceptions instead of raising them. Defaults to False.

  • kwargs (Any | None) – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the Runnable.

Returns:

A list of outputs from the Runnable.

Return type:

list[Output]

async abatch_as_completed(inputs: Sequence[Input], config: RunnableConfig | Sequence[RunnableConfig] | None = None, *, return_exceptions: bool = False, **kwargs: Any | None) AsyncIterator[tuple[int, Output | Exception]]#

Run ainvoke in parallel on a list of inputs, yielding results as they complete.

Parameters:
  • inputs (Sequence[Input]) – A list of inputs to the Runnable.

  • config (RunnableConfig | Sequence[RunnableConfig] | None) – A config to use when invoking the Runnable. The config supports standard keys like ‘tags’, ‘metadata’ for tracing purposes, ‘max_concurrency’ for controlling how much work to do in parallel, and other keys. Please refer to the RunnableConfig for more details. Defaults to None. Defaults to None.

  • return_exceptions (bool) – Whether to return exceptions instead of raising them. Defaults to False.

  • kwargs (Any | None) – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the Runnable.

Yields:

A tuple of the index of the input and the output from the Runnable.

Return type:

AsyncIterator[tuple[int, Output | Exception]]

async ainvoke(input: LanguageModelInput, config: RunnableConfig | None = None, *, stop: list[str] | None = None, **kwargs: Any) BaseMessage#

Default implementation of ainvoke, calls invoke from a thread.

The default implementation allows usage of async code even if the Runnable did not implement a native async version of invoke.

Subclasses should override this method if they can run asynchronously.

Parameters:
  • input (LanguageModelInput)

  • config (Optional[RunnableConfig])

  • stop (Optional[list[str]])

  • kwargs (Any)

Return type:

BaseMessage

async astream(input: LanguageModelInput, config: RunnableConfig | None = None, *, stop: list[str] | None = None, **kwargs: Any) AsyncIterator[BaseMessageChunk]#

Default implementation of astream, which calls ainvoke. Subclasses should override this method if they support streaming output.

Parameters:
  • input (LanguageModelInput) – The input to the Runnable.

  • config (Optional[RunnableConfig]) – The config to use for the Runnable. Defaults to None.

  • kwargs (Any) – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the Runnable.

  • stop (Optional[list[str]])

Yields:

The output of the Runnable.

Return type:

AsyncIterator[BaseMessageChunk]

async astream_events(input: Any, config: RunnableConfig | None = None, *, version: Literal['v1', 'v2'], include_names: Sequence[str] | None = None, include_types: Sequence[str] | None = None, include_tags: Sequence[str] | None = None, exclude_names: Sequence[str] | None = None, exclude_types: Sequence[str] | None = None, exclude_tags: Sequence[str] | None = None, **kwargs: Any) AsyncIterator[StandardStreamEvent | CustomStreamEvent]#

Generate a stream of events.

Use to create an iterator over StreamEvents that provide real-time information about the progress of the Runnable, including StreamEvents from intermediate results.

A StreamEvent is a dictionary with the following schema:

  • event: str - Event names are of the

    format: on_[runnable_type]_(start|stream|end).

  • name: str - The name of the Runnable that generated the event.

  • run_id: str - randomly generated ID associated with the given execution of

    the Runnable that emitted the event. A child Runnable that gets invoked as part of the execution of a parent Runnable is assigned its own unique ID.

  • parent_ids: List[str] - The IDs of the parent runnables that

    generated the event. The root Runnable will have an empty list. The order of the parent IDs is from the root to the immediate parent. Only available for v2 version of the API. The v1 version of the API will return an empty list.

  • tags: Optional[List[str]] - The tags of the Runnable that generated

    the event.

  • metadata: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] - The metadata of the Runnable

    that generated the event.

  • data: Dict[str, Any]

Below is a table that illustrates some events that might be emitted by various chains. Metadata fields have been omitted from the table for brevity. Chain definitions have been included after the table.

ATTENTION This reference table is for the V2 version of the schema.

In addition to the standard events, users can also dispatch custom events (see example below).

Custom events will be only be surfaced with in the v2 version of the API!

A custom event has following format:

Attribute

Type

Description

name

str

A user defined name for the event.

data

Any

The data associated with the event. This can be anything, though we suggest making it JSON serializable.

Here are declarations associated with the standard events shown above:

format_docs:

def format_docs(docs: List[Document]) -> str:
    '''Format the docs.'''
    return ", ".join([doc.page_content for doc in docs])

format_docs = RunnableLambda(format_docs)

some_tool:

@tool
def some_tool(x: int, y: str) -> dict:
    '''Some_tool.'''
    return {"x": x, "y": y}

prompt:

template = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(
    [("system", "You are Cat Agent 007"), ("human", "{question}")]
).with_config({"run_name": "my_template", "tags": ["my_template"]})

Example:

from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda

async def reverse(s: str) -> str:
    return s[::-1]

chain = RunnableLambda(func=reverse)

events = [
    event async for event in chain.astream_events("hello", version="v2")
]

# will produce the following events (run_id, and parent_ids
# has been omitted for brevity):
[
    {
        "data": {"input": "hello"},
        "event": "on_chain_start",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",
        "tags": [],
    },
    {
        "data": {"chunk": "olleh"},
        "event": "on_chain_stream",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",
        "tags": [],
    },
    {
        "data": {"output": "olleh"},
        "event": "on_chain_end",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",
        "tags": [],
    },
]

Example: Dispatch Custom Event

from langchain_core.callbacks.manager import (
    adispatch_custom_event,
)
from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda, RunnableConfig
import asyncio


async def slow_thing(some_input: str, config: RunnableConfig) -> str:
    """Do something that takes a long time."""
    await asyncio.sleep(1) # Placeholder for some slow operation
    await adispatch_custom_event(
        "progress_event",
        {"message": "Finished step 1 of 3"},
        config=config # Must be included for python < 3.10
    )
    await asyncio.sleep(1) # Placeholder for some slow operation
    await adispatch_custom_event(
        "progress_event",
        {"message": "Finished step 2 of 3"},
        config=config # Must be included for python < 3.10
    )
    await asyncio.sleep(1) # Placeholder for some slow operation
    return "Done"

slow_thing = RunnableLambda(slow_thing)

async for event in slow_thing.astream_events("some_input", version="v2"):
    print(event)
Parameters:
  • input (Any) – The input to the Runnable.

  • config (RunnableConfig | None) – The config to use for the Runnable.

  • version (Literal['v1', 'v2']) – The version of the schema to use either v2 or v1. Users should use v2. v1 is for backwards compatibility and will be deprecated in 0.4.0. No default will be assigned until the API is stabilized. custom events will only be surfaced in v2.

  • include_names (Sequence[str] | None) – Only include events from runnables with matching names.

  • include_types (Sequence[str] | None) – Only include events from runnables with matching types.

  • include_tags (Sequence[str] | None) – Only include events from runnables with matching tags.

  • exclude_names (Sequence[str] | None) – Exclude events from runnables with matching names.

  • exclude_types (Sequence[str] | None) – Exclude events from runnables with matching types.

  • exclude_tags (Sequence[str] | None) – Exclude events from runnables with matching tags.

  • kwargs (Any) – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the Runnable. These will be passed to astream_log as this implementation of astream_events is built on top of astream_log.

Yields:

An async stream of StreamEvents.

Raises:

NotImplementedError – If the version is not v1 or v2.

Return type:

AsyncIterator[StandardStreamEvent | CustomStreamEvent]

batch(inputs: list[Input], config: RunnableConfig | list[RunnableConfig] | None = None, *, return_exceptions: bool = False, **kwargs: Any | None) list[Output]#

Default implementation runs invoke in parallel using a thread pool executor.

The default implementation of batch works well for IO bound runnables.

Subclasses should override this method if they can batch more efficiently; e.g., if the underlying Runnable uses an API which supports a batch mode.

Parameters:
Return type:

list[Output]

Parameters:
Return type:

Iterator[tuple[int, Output | Exception]]

bind(**kwargs: Any) Runnable[Input, Output]#

Useful when a Runnable in a chain requires an argument that is not in the output of the previous Runnable or included in the user input.

Parameters:

kwargs (Any) – The arguments to bind to the Runnable.

Returns:

A new Runnable with the arguments bound.

Return type:

Runnable[Input, Output]

# Output is 'One two three four five.'

# With bind.
chain = (
    llm.bind(stop=["three"])
    | StrOutputParser()
)

chain.invoke("Repeat quoted words exactly: 'One two three four five.'")
# Output is 'One two'
bind_tools(tools: Sequence[Dict[str, Any] | Type | Callable | BaseTool], *, tool_choice: Dict[str, str] | Literal['any', 'auto'] | str | None = None, **kwargs: Any) Runnable[PromptValue | str | Sequence[BaseMessage | list[str] | tuple[str, str] | str | dict[str, Any]], BaseMessage]#

Example — force specific tool call with tool_choice ‘<name_of_tool>’:
from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field

class GetWeather(BaseModel):
    '''Get the current weather in a given location'''

llm_with_tools = llm.bind_tools([GetWeather, GetPrice], tool_choice="GetWeather")
llm_with_tools.invoke("what is the weather like in San Francisco",)
Example — cache specific tools:
from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic, convert_to_anthropic_tool
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field

class GetWeather(BaseModel):
    '''Get the current weather in a given location'''

    location: str = Field(..., description="The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA")

class GetPrice(BaseModel):
    '''Get the price of a specific product.'''

    product: str = Field(..., description="The product to look up.")

# We'll convert our pydantic class to the anthropic tool format
# before passing to bind_tools so that we can set the 'cache_control'
# field on our tool.
cached_price_tool = convert_to_anthropic_tool(GetPrice)
# Currently the only supported "cache_control" value is
# {"type": "ephemeral"}.
cached_price_tool["cache_control"] = {"type": "ephemeral"}

# We need to pass in extra headers to enable use of the beta cache
# control API.
llm = ChatAnthropic(
    model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620",
    temperature=0,
    extra_headers={"anthropic-beta": "prompt-caching-2024-07-31"}
)
llm_with_tools = llm.bind_tools([GetWeather, cached_price_tool])
llm_with_tools.invoke("what is the weather like in San Francisco",)

This outputs:

AIMessage(content=[{'text': "Certainly! I can help you find out the current weather in San Francisco. To get this information, I'll use the GetWeather function. Let me fetch that data for you right away.", 'type': 'text'}, {'id': 'toolu_01TS5h8LNo7p5imcG7yRiaUM', 'input': {'location': 'San Francisco, CA'}, 'name': 'GetWeather', 'type': 'tool_use'}], response_metadata={'id': 'msg_01Xg7Wr5inFWgBxE5jH9rpRo', 'model': 'claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620', 'stop_reason': 'tool_use', 'stop_sequence': None, 'usage': {'input_tokens': 171, 'output_tokens': 96, 'cache_creation_input_tokens': 1470, 'cache_read_input_tokens': 0}}, id='run-b36a5b54-5d69-470e-a1b0-b932d00b089e-0', tool_calls=[{'name': 'GetWeather', 'args': {'location': 'San Francisco, CA'}, 'id': 'toolu_01TS5h8LNo7p5imcG7yRiaUM', 'type': 'tool_call'}], usage_metadata={'input_tokens': 171, 'output_tokens': 96, 'total_tokens': 267})

If we invoke the tool again, we can see that the “usage” information in the AIMessage.response_metadata shows that we had a cache hit:

from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda

count = 0


def _lambda(x: int) -> None:

        raise ValueError("x is 1")
    else:
         pass


runnable = RunnableLambda(_lambda)
try:
    runnable.with_retry(
        stop_after_attempt=2,
        retry_if_exception_type=(ValueError,),
    ).invoke(1)
except ValueError:
    pass

Parameters:
  • retry_if_exception_type (tuple[type[BaseException], ...]) – A tuple of exception types to retry on

  • wait_exponential_jitter (bool) – Whether to add jitter to the wait time between retries

with_structured_output(schema: Dict | Type[BaseModel], *, include_raw: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) Runnable[PromptValue | str | Sequence[BaseMessage | list[str] | tuple[str, str] | str | dict[str, Any]], Dict | BaseModel]#

Model wrapper that returns outputs formatted to match the given schema.

Parameters:
  • schema (Dict | Type[BaseModel]) –

    The output schema. Can be passed in as:

    • an Anthropic tool schema,

    • an OpenAI function/tool schema,

    • a JSON Schema,

    • a TypedDict class,

    • or a Pydantic class.

    If schema is a Pydantic class then the model output will be a Pydantic instance of that class, and the model-generated fields will be validated by the Pydantic class. Otherwise the model output will be a dict and will not be validated. See convert_to_openai_tool() for more on how to properly specify types and descriptions of schema fields when specifying a Pydantic or TypedDict class.

  • include_raw (bool) – If False then only the parsed structured output is returned. If an error occurs during model output parsing it will be raised. If True then both the raw model response (a BaseMessage) and the parsed model response will be returned. If an error occurs during output parsing it will be caught and returned as well. The final output is always a dict with keys “raw”, “parsed”, and “parsing_error”.

  • kwargs (Any) – Additional keyword arguments are ignored.

Returns:

A Runnable that takes same inputs as a BaseChatModel.

If include_raw is False and schema is a Pydantic class, Runnable outputs an instance of schema (i.e., a Pydantic object).

Otherwise, if include_raw is False then Runnable outputs a dict.

If include_raw is True, then Runnable outputs a dict with keys:
  • "raw": BaseMessage

  • "parsed": None if there was a parsing error, otherwise the type depends on the schema as described above.

  • "parsing_error": Optional[BaseException]

Return type:

Runnable[PromptValue | str | Sequence[BaseMessage | list[str] | tuple[str, str] | str | dict[str, Any]], Dict | BaseModel]

Example: Pydantic schema (include_raw=False):
from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic
from pydantic import BaseModel

class AnswerWithJustification(BaseModel):
    '''An answer to the user question along with justification for the answer.'''
    answer: str
    justification: str

llm = ChatAnthropic(model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620", temperature=0)
structured_llm = llm.with_structured_output(AnswerWithJustification)

structured_llm.invoke("What weighs more a pound of bricks or a pound of feathers")

# -> AnswerWithJustification(
#     answer='They weigh the same',
#     justification='Both a pound of bricks and a pound of feathers weigh one pound. The weight is the same, but the volume or density of the objects may differ.'
# )
Example: Pydantic schema (include_raw=True):
from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic
from pydantic import BaseModel

class AnswerWithJustification(BaseModel):
    '''An answer to the user question along with justification for the answer.'''
    answer: str
    justification: str

llm = ChatAnthropic(model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620", temperature=0)
structured_llm = llm.with_structured_output(AnswerWithJustification, include_raw=True)

The weight is the same, but the volume or density of the objects may differ."}', 'name': 'AnswerWithJustification'}, 'type': 'function'}]}),
#     'parsed': AnswerWithJustification(answer='They weigh the same.', justification='Both a pound of bricks and a pound of feathers weigh one pound. The weight is the same, but the volume or density of the objects may differ.'),
#     'parsing_error': None
# }
Example: Dict schema (include_raw=False):
from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic

schema = {
    "name": "AnswerWithJustification",
    "description": "An answer to the user question along with justification for the answer.",
    "input_schema": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
            "answer": {"type": "string"},
            "justification": {"type": "string"},
        },
        "required": ["answer", "justification"]
    }
}
llm = ChatAnthropic(model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620", temperature=0)
structured_llm = llm.with_structured_output(schema)

structured_llm.invoke("What weighs more a pound of bricks or a pound of feathers")
# -> {
#     'answer': 'They weigh the same',
#     'justification': 'Both a pound of bricks and a pound of feathers weigh one pound. The weight is the same, but the volume and density of the two substances differ.'
# }
