OpenAPITools SDK

Introduction

OpenAPITools JS package enables developers to manage, and execute tools across multiple AI API providers. It provides a unified interface for working with tools in Anthropic's Claude, OpenAI's GPT models, and LangChain frameworks. With OpenAPITools, you can: - Create tools as Python or Bash scripts with standardized input/output - Access these tools through a single, consistent SDK - Integrate tools with Claude, GPT, and LangChain models - Build interactive chatbots that can use tools to solve complex tasks

Install from npm

``bash npm install @reacter/openapitools `

Tool Execution Details

Python Tools

- Python tools are executed spawning new threads in nodejs - Considerations: - Has interpreter startup overhead in JS environments - Full privacy (code runs locally) - Better for complex tasks requiring Python packages - Python tools receive arguments via an input_json dictionary and can access environment variables through input_json["openv"]

Bash Tools

- Bash tools are executed as subprocesses - Arguments are passed as JSON to the script's standard input - Very fast execution in nodejs environments - Preferred for JavaScript/nodejs environments for better performance - Note: Bash tools should be tested in Linux environments or WSL, as they may not function correctly in Windows

Usage Modes

Local Mode (preferred)

`js const toolsAdapter = new AnthropicAdapter( path.join(__dirname, "openapitools"), { verbose: true } ); `

API Mode (rate limits apply)

`python adapter = ToolsAdapter(api_key="your_api_key") `

Performance Considerations

- Python Tools: Better for readability and when complex Python packages are needed - Bash Tools: Significantly faster in nodejs environments with minimal overhead - For maximum performance in JavaScript/nodejs environments, prefer Bash tools - If you need more readability or complex packages, go with Python tools

Security and Privacy

- All tool execution happens locally within your environment - No code is sent to external servers for execution - Environment variables can be securely passed to tools

Integration with AI Models

OpenAPITools provides native integration with: - Anthropic's Claude - OpenAI's GPT models - LangChain frameworks This allows you to build AI assistants that can leverage tools to perform complex tasks. > [!NOTE] > > Platform Considerations: > Python servers have better compatibility with the latest AI packages, LangChain SDKs, and other AI development frameworks. Consider working in a Python-centric environment using the Python SDK: pip install reacter-openapitools` Visit docs.openapitools.com for more information on how to use the OpenAPITools SDK, including detailed examples and API references.
