Requests Tool

This tool provides the agent the ability to make HTTP requests. It can be combined with the OpenAPIToolSpec to interface with an OpenAPI server.

For security reasons, you must specify the hostname for the headers that you wish to provide. See here for an example

Usage

This tool has more extensive example usage documented in a Jupyter notebook here

Here's an example usage of the RequestsToolSpec.

from llama_index.tools.requests import RequestsToolSpec
from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import FunctionAgent
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI

domain_headers = {
    "api.openai.com": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk-your-key",
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    }
}

tool_spec = RequestsToolSpec(domain_headers=domain_headers)

agent = FunctionAgent(
    tools=tool_spec.to_tool_list(),
    llm=OpenAI(model="gpt-4.1"),
)

print(await agent.run("<query>"))

get_request: Performs a get request against the URL post_request: Performs a post request against the URL patch_request: Performs a patch request against the URL

This loader is designed to be used as a way to load data as a Tool in a Agent.
