AnyTool

This is the implementation of the paper AnyTool: Self-Reflective, Hierarchical Agents for Large-Scale API Calls

🔧 Installation

✅ Dependencies

Require Python 3.9+

🚀 Quick install

pip install -r requirements.txt

🔆 Preparation

OPENAI API config and the ToolBench key

Fill your OpenAI GPT-4 API config and toolbench key into the config.py (see config_example.py as an example). We use Azure OpenAI for all our experiments. You can modify it according to your own configuration.

Fill out the form to get the toolbench key. If you want to use your own RapidAPI key, you can put your key in the rapidapi_key_list.json (see rapidapi_key_list_example.json as an example)

ToolBench

Download the ToolBench data using the following link: Google Drive or Tsinghua Cloud. Decompress the data.zip and the file structure is as follows:

├── /data/
│  ├── /instruction/
│  ├── /answer/
│  ├── /toolenv/
│  ├── /retrieval/
│  ├── /test_instruction/
│  ├── /test_query_ids/
│  ├── /retrieval_test_query_ids/
│  ├── toolllama_G123_dfs_train.json
│  └── toolllama_G123_dfs_eval.json
├── /reproduction_data/
│  ├── /chatgpt_cot/
│  ├── /chatgpt_dfs/
│  ├── ...
│  └── /toolllama_dfs/

For more details, please refer to ToolBench.

Prepare the API data

You should prepare the ToolBench data first. Make sure you have the directory of data/toolenv/tools

export PYTHONPATH=./
python preprocess/extract_api_details.py
python preprocess/extract_category_tool_details.py
python preprocess/extract_tool_database.py

AnyToolBench

Generation script

export PYTHONPATH=./
python scripts/anytoolbench_generation.py --output_path atb_data/anytoolbench_new.json

We provide sample data in anytoolbench.json file.

The data look like

"query": "Can you provide detailed information about \"The Incredible Hulk\" movie that was released in 2008, including its plot, genres, and how it's evaluated by audiences, and also tell me the current timezone for Los Angeles, USA?",
"final_answer": "The Incredible Hulk (2008) is about scientist Bruce Banner who searches for an antidote to his unbridled rage, the Hulk, but faces new foes when forced back to civilization. GENRES: Sci-Fi, Action, Adventure. AUDIENCE SCORE: 6.2/10. The current timezone for Los Angeles, USA, is America/Los_Angeles.",
"query_id": "1000006",
"gt_api_list": [
            {
                "category_name": "Movies",
                "tool_name": "Advanced Movie Search",
                "api_name": "Search by Name"
            },
            {
                "category_name": "Location",
                "tool_name": "Timezone By API-Ninjas",
                "api_name": "/v1/timezone"
            }
        ],

🚗 Run AnyTool

Experiment on ToolBench, take G1-I as an example.

export PYTHONPATH=./
python scripts/main.py --output_dir result/test_instruction/G1_instruction --query_path data/test_instruction/G1_instruction.json --max_api_number 64

Experiment on AnyToolBench

export PYTHONPATH=./
python scripts/main.py --output_dir result/anytoolbench --query_path anytoolbench.json -max_api_number 64

The pass rate can be found in the success_cnt.txt under the output directory.

📏 Experiment Results

Main results on the filtered ToolBench. We use pass rate defined in Eq 2 and illustrated in Figure 4(b) in our paper, as the metric. All results are reproduced. *: OpenAI’s text-embedding-ada-002; Ref.: reference; Avg.: average; SR: self-reflective.
