toolregistry-hub (tool collection + server config)
Features
- Protocol-agnostic — register tools from native Python functions/classes, MCP servers, OpenAPI specs, or LangChain tools through a unified interface
- Multi-provider schemas — generate tool schemas for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini via llm-rosetta
- Concurrent execution — thread and process pool backends with per-tool timeout and concurrency control
- Permission system — tag-based policies (
READ_ONLY,DESTRUCTIVE,NETWORK, etc.) with allow/deny/ask rules - Tool metadata & tags — classify tools with
ToolTag,ToolMetadata, namespace support, and source tracking - Admin panel — built-in Web UI for monitoring tools, permissions, and runtime config (i18n: EN/ZH)
- Think-augmented calling — inject chain-of-thought reasoning into tool calls (arXiv:2601.18282)
- Declarative config — load tool sources from JSONC/YAML config files
- Zero-dependency core — HTTP client, YAML parser, JSON Schema resolver all vendored; only
pydanticandllm-rosettaas runtime deps
Quick Start
from toolregistry import ToolRegistry
registry = ToolRegistry()
@registry.register
def add(a: float, b: float) -> float:
"""Add two numbers together."""
return a + b
# Use with any LLM provider
schemas = registry.get_schemas(api_format="openai-chat") # or "anthropic", "gemini"
result = registry["add"](1, 2) # 3.0
See the Usage Guide for MCP, OpenAPI, LangChain integrations and more.
Installation
Requires Python >= 3.10.
pip install toolregistry # core
pip install toolregistry[mcp] # + MCP support
pip install toolregistry[langchain] # + LangChain support
pip install toolregistry-hub # ready-to-use tools (separate package)
