Tool

Abstract base class for defining tools the model can call during generation.

Abstract Members

Subclasses must implement:

abstract class Tool {
  abstract readonly name: string;
  abstract readonly description: string;
  abstract readonly argumentsSchema: GenerationSchema;
  abstract call(args: GeneratedContent): Promise<string>;
}

Member	Type	Description
name	string	Unique tool identifier
description	string	What the tool does (visible to the model)
argumentsSchema	GenerationSchema	Schema defining the tool's arguments
call(args)	async (GeneratedContent) => string	Handler invoked when the model calls this tool

Methods

dispose()

Release the native callback. Call after all sessions using this tool are done.

dispose(): void

Example

import { Tool, GenerationSchema, GeneratedContent, GenerationGuide } from "tsfm-sdk";

class WeatherTool extends Tool {
  readonly name = "get_weather";
  readonly description = "Gets current weather for a city.";

  readonly argumentsSchema = new GenerationSchema("WeatherParams", "")
    .property("city", "string", { description: "City name" })
    .property("units", "string", {
      description: "Temperature units",
      guides: [GenerationGuide.anyOf(["celsius", "fahrenheit"])],
    });

  async call(args: GeneratedContent): Promise<string> {
    const city = args.value<string>("city");
    const units = args.value<string>("units");
    return `Sunny, 22°C in ${city} (${units})`;
  }
}

Lifecycle

1. Create the tool instance
2. Pass to LanguageModelSession({ tools: [tool] })
3. The tool's callback is registered internally when the session is created
4. After all sessions are disposed, call tool.dispose()

Tools can be shared across multiple sessions. The native callback remains registered until dispose() is called.
