Tools

The Bedrock Swarm framework provides a set of built-in tools that agents can use to perform various tasks. Each tool is designed to be modular, reusable, and easy to integrate into agent workflows.

Available Tools

Core Tools

• Base Tool: The foundation class for all tools
• Calculator: Performs mathematical calculations
• Time: Handles time-related operations
• Send Message: Facilitates message sending between agents
• Validation: Provides input validation utilities

Tool Development

For information on developing custom tools, see the Tool Development Guide.

Tool Registry

The framework maintains a central registry of available tools:

TOOL_REGISTRY = {
    "calculator": CalculatorTool,
    "time": TimeTool,
    "send_message": SendMessageTool,
    "validation": ValidationTool
}

Common Features

All tools in the framework share these common features:

1. Standardized Interface: Consistent method signatures
2. Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling and validation
3. Documentation: Detailed documentation and examples
4. Testing: Comprehensive test coverage
5. Type Safety: Full TypeScript support

Usage Example

from bedrock_swarm.tools import CalculatorTool

calculator = CalculatorTool()
result = calculator.evaluate("2 + 2")
print(result)  # Output: 4

Tool Configuration

Tools can be configured through:

1. Environment variables
2. Configuration files
3. Runtime parameters

Error Handling

Tools implement standardized error handling:

1. Input validation
2. Type checking
3. Resource availability checks
4. Error reporting
