NPI
Warning
NPi is currently under active development and the APIs are subject to change in the future release. It is recommended to use the command line tool to try it out.
NPi is an open-source platform providing Tool-use APIs to empower AI agents with the ability to take action in virtual world!

One-Minute Quick Start
Let's create a new tool to compute the nth Fibonacci number. Start by crafting a new Python file titled main.py and insert the following snippet:
import os import json import asyncio from openai import OpenAI from npiai import FunctionTool, function class MyTool(FunctionTool): def __init__(self): super().__init__( name='Fibonacci', description='My first NPi tool', ) @function def fibonacci(self, n: int) -> int: """ Get the nth Fibonacci number. Args: n: The index of the Fibonacci number in the sequence. """ if n == 0: return 0 if n == 1: return 1 return self.fibonacci(n - 1) + self.fibonacci(n - 2) async def main(): async with MyTool() as tool: print(f'The schema of the tool is\n\n {json.dumps(tool.tools, indent=2)}') client = OpenAI(api_key=os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY')) messages = [ { "role": "user", "content": "What's the 10-th fibonacci number?", } ] response = client.chat.completions.create( model="gpt-4o", messages=messages, tools=tool.tools, # use tool as functions package tool_choice="auto", max_tokens=4096, ) response_message = response.choices[0].message if response_message.tool_calls: result = await tool.call(tool_calls=response_message.tool_calls) print(f'The result of function\n\n {json.dumps(result, indent=2)}') if __name__ == "__main__": asyncio.run(main())
Now, run the tool:
You will see the function result in OpenAI function calling format:
[
{
"role": "tool",
"name": "fibonacci",
"tool_call_id": "call_4KItpriZmoGxXgDloI5WOtHm",
"content": 55
}
]content: 55 is the result of function calling, and the schema：
[
{
"type": "function",
"function": {
"name": "fibonacci",
"description": "Get the nth Fibonacci number.",
"parameters": {
"properties": {
"n": {
"description": "The index of the Fibonacci number in the sequence.",
"type": "integer"
}
},
"required": [
"n"
],
"type": "object"
}
}
}
]That's it! You've successfully created and run your first NPi tool. 🎉
