LlamaIndex Tools Integration: WaveSpeed

WaveSpeedToolSpec gives a LlamaIndex agent access to the WaveSpeed AI inference platform: text-to-image and text-to-video generation, running any model in the catalog by id, and recovering a long-running job from its prediction id.

It is built on the official wavespeed Python SDK, so it inherits the SDK's submission semantics — a submission POST is never retried, terminal statuses (failed / cancelled / timeout / deleted) are handled explicitly, and every request carries channel attribution.

Installation

pip install llama-index-tools-wavespeed
export WAVESPEED_API_KEY="your-api-key"   # https://wavespeed.ai

Tools

Each tool returns the output URL(s), one per line, or a string starting with Error: that carries the prediction id and the platform's own error text.

Usage

import asyncio

from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import FunctionAgent
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI
from llama_index.tools.wavespeed import WaveSpeedToolSpec

tool_spec = WaveSpeedToolSpec()  # reads WAVESPEED_API_KEY
# or: WaveSpeedToolSpec(api_key="...")

agent = FunctionAgent(
    tools=tool_spec.to_tool_list(),
    llm=OpenAI(model="gpt-4.1"),
)

response = asyncio.run(
    agent.run("Generate a 16:9 image of a red panda drinking boba tea.")
)
print(response)

ReActAgent works the same way:

from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import ReActAgent

agent = ReActAgent(tools=tool_spec.to_tool_list(), llm=OpenAI(model="gpt-4.1"))

You can also call the tools directly, without an agent:

tool_spec = WaveSpeedToolSpec()
print(tool_spec.generate_image("a lighthouse at dusk", aspect_ratio="16:9"))
print(tool_spec.run_model("wavespeed-ai/z-image/turbo", {"prompt": "a fox"}))

Configuration

WaveSpeedToolSpec(
    api_key=None,  # else WAVESPEED_API_KEY
    image_model="bytedance/seedream-v5.0-pro",
    video_model="bytedance/seedance-2.5/text-to-video",
    timeout=600.0,  # None waits forever
    poll_interval=2.0,
)

The default 600s timeout is deliberate: an unbounded wait would strand the calling agent. When a video job exceeds it, the task keeps running server-side — take the task_id out of the error and call get_prediction.

The underlying SDK client is created with max_retries=0 so a single tool call can never turn into a second, separately billed submission.

Why size and seed are not exposed

The platform's input whitelist silently drops parameters the default models do not declare. Advertising them in an LLM-facing schema would invite the agent to set values that are then ignored, so generate_image and generate_video expose only parameters that actually take effect. If a specific model you pick does support them, pass them through run_model.

A note on discovery

llamahub.ai is generated from metadata in the run-llama/llama_index monorepo, which no longer accepts new integration packages. This package is therefore not listed on LlamaHub. It is a normal PyPI distribution that installs into the llama_index.tools namespace package and works exactly like the official tool specs.

Development

uv sync --all-groups   # or: pip install -e . pytest ruff
pytest tests
ruff check .

The test suite mocks the SDK client and never calls the live API.
