ZeroShotAgent

class langchain.agents.mrkl.base.ZeroShotAgent

Bases: Agent

Deprecated since version 0.1.0: Use create_react_agent() instead.

Agent for the MRKL chain.

Parameters:

output_parser – Output parser for the agent.

Create a new model by parsing and validating input data from keyword arguments.

Raises [ValidationError][pydantic_core.ValidationError] if the input data cannot be validated to form a valid model.

self is explicitly positional-only to allow self as a field name.

param allowed_tools: List[str] | None = None

Allowed tools for the agent. If None, all tools are allowed.

param llm_chain: LLMChain [Required]

LLMChain to use for agent.

param output_parser: AgentOutputParser [Optional]

Output parser to use for agent.

async aplan(intermediate_steps: List[Tuple[AgentAction, str]], callbacks: list[BaseCallbackHandler] | BaseCallbackManager | None = None, **kwargs: Any) → AgentAction | AgentFinish

Async given input, decided what to do.

Parameters:

• intermediate_steps (List[Tuple[AgentAction, str]]) – Steps the LLM has taken to date, along with observations.

• callbacks (list[BaseCallbackHandler] | BaseCallbackManager | None) – Callbacks to run.

• **kwargs (Any) – User inputs.

Returns:

Action specifying what tool to use.

Return type:

AgentAction | AgentFinish

(this Thought/Action/Action Input/Observation can repeat N times)\nThought: I now know the final answer\nFinal Answer: the final answer to the original input question', input_variables: List[str] | None = None) → PromptTemplate

Create prompt in the style of the zero shot agent.

Parameters:

• tools (Sequence[BaseTool]) – List of tools the agent will have access to, used to format the prompt.

• format_instructions (str) – Instructions on how to use the tools. Defaults to FORMAT_INSTRUCTIONS

• input_variables (List[str] | None) – List of input variables the final prompt will expect. Defaults to None.

Returns:

A PromptTemplate with the template assembled from the pieces here.

Return type:

PromptTemplate
