This module provides utility functions to convert LangChain tool objects into JSON format and vice versa. It helps serialize and deserialize structured tool definitions for easier storage and transport.

Features

• create_tools_json: Converts a list of LangChain tool objects into a JSON string.
• json_to_structured_tools: Converts a JSON representation of LangChain tools back into StructuredTool objects.

Installation

Ensure you have langchain_core installed before using this module:

pip install langchain-core

Usage

Converting Tools to JSON

from langchain_core.tools import StructuredTool

# Example tool
example_tool = StructuredTool(
    name="example_tool",
    description="An example tool",
    func=None,
    args_schema={}
)

# Convert to JSON
json_output = create_tools_json([example_tool])
print(json_output)

Converting JSON to Structured Tools

json_tools = [
    {
        "name": "example_tool",
        "description": "An example tool",
        "args_schema": {}
    }
]

structured_tools = json_to_structured_tools(json_tools)
print(structured_tools)
