This package provides 88 ready-to-use tools organized into 5 categories:
All tools feature:
import { httpGet, jsonParser, fileReader, calculator } from '@agentforge/tools';
// Make an HTTP GET request
const response = await httpGet.invoke({
url: 'https://api.example.com/data'
});
// Parse JSON
const parsed = await jsonParser.invoke({
json: '{"name": "John", "age": 30}'
});
// Read a file
const file = await fileReader.invoke({
path: './data.txt',
encoding: 'utf8'
});
// Perform calculations
const result = await calculator.invoke({
operation: 'add',
a: 10,
b: 20
});

All tools are compatible with LangChain through the @agentforge/core integration:
import { httpGet, jsonParser } from '@agentforge/tools';
import { toLangChainTool } from '@agentforge/core';
// Convert to LangChain tools
const langchainHttpGet = toLangChainTool(httpGet);
const langchainJsonParser = toLangChainTool(jsonParser);
// Use with LangChain agents
const tools = [langchainHttpGet, langchainJsonParser];
All tools follow the same structure:
interface Tool<TInput, TOutput> {
metadata: {
name: string;
description: string;
category: ToolCategory;
tags?: string[];
};
schema: ZodSchema<TInput>;
execute: (input: TInput) => Promise<TOutput>;
}
Most tools return a result object with a success field:
const result = await someTool.invoke({ ... });
if (result.success) {
console.log(result.data);
} else {
console.error(result.error);
}
All tools are fully typed with TypeScript:
import { httpGet } from '@agentforge/tools';
// TypeScript knows the input type
const result = await httpGet.invoke({
url: 'https://api.example.com',
headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer token' }
});
// TypeScript knows the output type
console.log(result.data);
All tools follow a consistent directory structure pattern for better maintainability and discoverability:
Each tool category is organized into its own directory with the following structure:
tool-category/
āāā index.ts # Main exports, factory functions, default instances
āāā types.ts # TypeScript interfaces, Zod schemas, configuration types
āāā auth.ts # Authentication helpers (for API tools)
āāā tools/ # Individual tool implementations
āāā tool-1.ts
āāā tool-2.ts
āāā tool-3.ts
slack/
āāā index.ts # Exports: sendSlackMessage, notifySlack, getSlackChannels, getSlackMessages, createSlackTools()
āāā types.ts # SlackConfig, SlackMessageSchema, SlackChannelSchema, etc.
āāā auth.ts # getSlackToken(), validateSlackConfig()
āāā tools/
āāā send-message.ts
āāā notify.ts
āāā get-channels.ts
āāā get-messages.ts
types.ts ensure consistency across toolsEach tool category provides a factory function for custom configuration:
import { createSlackTools } from '@agentforge/tools';
// Custom configuration
const customTools = createSlackTools({
token: 'xoxb-your-custom-token',
botName: 'My Custom Bot',
botIcon: ':rocket:'
});
// Use custom tools
await customTools.sendMessage.invoke({
channel: 'general',
message: 'Hello from custom bot!'
});
