predikit 0.4.5

Wrap any trained sklearn/XGBoost model as an LLM-callable tool — auto-generated JSON schemas, Pydantic I/O, OpenAI & LangChain ready, zero boilerplate.

The bridge between your ML models and LLM agents.
Wrap any trained scikit-learn or XGBoost model as an LLM-callable tool —
auto-generated JSON schemas, typed I/O, zero boilerplate.

tool = ModelTool(model=clf, name="classify_iris", ...)
tool.to_openai()              # OpenAI function schema, ready to pass to the API
tool.invoke({"sqft": 2200})   # → {"price_usd": 370730}

Why predikit?

Most ML pipelines stop at .predict(). Getting that prediction callable by an LLM agent — with validated inputs, correct types, and a schema the model can reason about — requires glue code that's tedious to write and easy to get wrong.

predikit handles that layer for you:

	Without predikit	With predikit
Schema	Hand-write JSON Schema for every model	Auto-generated from your Pydantic BaseModel
Type safety	Manual casting, silent failures	Pydantic v2 validation with clear error messages
LLM integration	OpenAI / LangChain boilerplate per model	.to_openai() / .to_langchain() in one line
Ensemble routing	Custom aggregation logic per project	ModelEnsemble with 5 built-in strategies
Confidence handling	Write your own threshold checks	confidence_threshold + on_low_confidence
Model registries	Manual MLflow / Snowflake registry calls	from_mlflow() / from_snowflake() loaders
Async	asyncio.get_event_loop().run_in_executor(...)	await tool.ainvoke(inputs)

---

Works with

predikit is designed to plug into the tools your team already uses:

Models — scikit-learn · XGBoost

LLM frameworks — OpenAI function calling · LangChain · any tool-calling API that accepts JSON Schema

Model registries — MLflow Model Registry · Snowflake Model Registry

Validation — Pydantic v2

Async — asyncio-compatible via ainvoke()

---

Quick start

from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
from predikit import ModelTool

# Train
X, y = load_iris(return_X_y=True)
clf = LogisticRegression(max_iter=200).fit(X, y)

# Define what the LLM will pass in
class IrisInput(BaseModel):
    sepal_length: float = Field(description="Sepal length in cm")
    sepal_width:  float = Field(description="Sepal width in cm")
    petal_length: float = Field(description="Petal length in cm")
    petal_width:  float = Field(description="Petal width in cm")

# Wrap the model
tool = ModelTool(
    model=clf,
    name="classify_iris",
    description="Classify an iris flower: 0=setosa, 1=versicolor, 2=virginica.",
    input_schema=IrisInput,
    output_name="species",
    output_description="Predicted species index",
)

# Get an OpenAI-ready schema
import json
print(json.dumps(tool.to_openai(), indent=2))

# Call it directly
tool.invoke({
    "sepal_length": 5.1, "sepal_width": 3.5,
    "petal_length": 1.4, "petal_width": 0.2,
})
# → {"species": 0}

Core API

ModelTool

ModelTool(
    model,               # fitted sklearn-compatible estimator
    name: str,           # tool name the LLM sees
    description: str,    # tool description the LLM sees
    input_schema,        # Pydantic BaseModel describing inputs
    output_name: str,    # key for the prediction in the returned dict
    output_description: str,
)

Method	Returns	What it does
.invoke(input_dict)	dict	Validates → predicts → returns {output_name: value}
.ainvoke(input_dict)	dict	Async version of .invoke()
.to_openai()	dict	OpenAI function-calling schema
.to_langchain()	StructuredTool	LangChain tool
.to_callable()	Callable	Plain Python function

ToolRegistry

Group multiple tools for bulk export:

registry = ToolRegistry([price_tool, risk_tool])
registry.to_openai()     # → list[dict], pass directly to OpenAI
registry.to_langchain()  # → list[StructuredTool]
registry.get("name")     # → ModelTool

ModelEnsemble

Call multiple models and reconcile their outputs in one step:

ModelEnsemble(
    tools: list[ModelTool],   # models to run in parallel
    name: str,                # ensemble tool name the LLM sees
    description: str,
    strategy: str,            # "collect" | "mean" | "vote" | "weighted_mean" | "weighted_vote"
    weights: list[float],     # optional, for weighted strategies
)

Strategy	Behaviour
"collect"	Merges all outputs into one dict (tools can have different output_name)
"mean"	Averages numeric outputs (all tools must share output_name)
"vote"	Majority class vote (all tools must share output_name)
"weighted_mean"	Weighted average — provide a weights list
"weighted_vote"	Weighted majority vote — provide a weights list

ModelEnsemble exposes the same .invoke(), .ainvoke(), .to_openai(), and .to_langchain() interface as ModelTool.

Field naming rule

Your Pydantic schema field names must exactly match the column names the model was trained on.

predikit maps inputs to features by name, not position. If you trained on a DataFrame with columns ["sqft", "bedrooms"], your schema fields must be sqft and bedrooms — not sq_ft, not Sqft.

# ✓ Columns match: sqft, bedrooms, bathrooms
class GoodInput(BaseModel):
    sqft:      float
    bedrooms:  float
    bathrooms: float

# ✗ Name mismatch — raises ValueError at runtime
class BadInput(BaseModel):
    square_footage: float  # model expects "sqft"
    beds:           float  # model expects "bedrooms"
    baths:          float  # model expects "bathrooms"

When there's a mismatch, predikit tells you exactly which names are wrong:

ValueError: Input schema is missing model features: ['sqft', 'bedrooms'].
Schema has: ['square_footage', 'beds', 'bathrooms'], model expects: ['sqft', 'bedrooms', 'bathrooms']

Tip: If you trained with a numpy array (no DataFrame), predikit has no feature names to check — it uses your schema's field definition order instead.

Cookbook

XGBoost regression

from xgboost import XGBRegressor
from predikit import ModelTool

reg = XGBRegressor().fit(X_train, y_train)

class HouseInput(BaseModel):
    sqft:       float
    bedrooms:   float
    year_built: float

tool = ModelTool(
    model=reg,
    name="price_estimate",
    description="Predict home price in USD.",
    input_schema=HouseInput,
    output_name="price_usd",
    output_description="Predicted sale price in USD",
)

Multiple tools in one registry

registry = ToolRegistry([price_tool, risk_tool, demand_tool])

# OpenAI
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o",
    tools=registry.to_openai(),
    ...
)

# LangChain
agent = initialize_agent(tools=registry.to_langchain(), ...)

Bool inputs from an LLM

LLMs sometimes return "yes", "true", or "1" for boolean fields. predikit coerces these automatically before Pydantic validation:

class Input(BaseModel):
    has_pool: bool

tool.invoke({"has_pool": "yes"})   # → coerced to True
tool.invoke({"has_pool": "false"}) # → coerced to False
tool.invoke({"has_pool": "maybe"}) # → raises ValueError with clear message

Supported strings: true/false, yes/no, 1/0, on/off.

Confidence-aware routing

Route uncertain predictions to a fallback tool, or raise an error the agent can catch:

from predikit import ModelTool, LowConfidenceError

tool = ModelTool(
    model=clf,
    name="churn_risk",
    description="Predict member churn risk.",
    input_schema=MemberInput,
    output_name="churn_probability",
    output_description="Probability of churn (0–1)",
    confidence_threshold=0.80,       # classifiers with predict_proba only
    on_low_confidence="warn",        # "warn" | "raise" | "fallback"
    fallback_tool=rule_based_tool,   # used when mode="fallback"
)

result = tool.invoke(inputs)
if result.get("_low_confidence"):
    print(f"Uncertain ({result['_confidence']:.2f}) — consider routing to a human")

mode	behaviour
"warn"	returns prediction + _confidence + _low_confidence: True
"raise"	raises LowConfidenceError
"fallback"	invokes fallback_tool and returns its result

Only applies to classifiers that implement predict_proba. Regressors are unaffected.

Multi-model ensemble

from predikit import ModelEnsemble, ToolRegistry

ensemble = ModelEnsemble(
    tools=[price_tool_a, price_tool_b],
    name="averaged_price",
    description="Ensemble price: mean of two XGBoost models.",
    strategy="mean",              # "collect" | "mean" | "vote"
)

result  = ensemble.invoke(inputs)  # → {"price_usd": 370112}
schema  = ensemble.to_openai()     # works exactly like ModelTool

Register ensembles alongside individual tools:

registry = ToolRegistry(tools=[price_tool], ensembles=[ensemble])
registry.to_openai()  # includes both tools and ensembles

MLflow Model Registry loader

Load a registered MLflow model directly — no manual .load_model() call:

from predikit.loaders import from_mlflow

tool = from_mlflow(
    model_uri="models:/churn-classifier/Production",
    name="churn_risk",
    description="Predict member churn probability.",
    input_schema=MemberInput,
    output_name="churn_probability",
    output_description="Churn probability 0–1",
)

tool.invoke({"tenure_months": 24, "trips_last_year": 2, "avg_spend": 500})
# → {"churn_probability": 0.73}

The loader auto-detects classes_ and feature_names_in_ from the underlying sklearn model, so confidence routing and ensemble work unchanged. Requires pip install predikit[mlflow].

Snowflake Model Registry loader

Load a model registered in the Snowflake Model Registry via the Snowpark ML Python library:

from predikit.loaders import from_snowflake

tool = from_snowflake(
    session=snowpark_session,
    model_name="VACATION_CHURN",
    model_version="V3",
    name="churn_risk",
    description="Churn classifier.",
    input_schema=MemberInput,
    output_name="churn_probability",
    output_description="Churn probability 0–1",
    output_method="predict",   # method to call on the Snowflake model object
)

Pass output_method="predict_proba" or any other method your Snowflake model exposes. The returned ModelTool is identical to one built directly — all exporters, confidence routing, and ensemble strategies work as-is. Requires pip install predikit[snowflake].
