OpenAIToolConfig

Bases: ToolConfig

A tool configuration for OpenAI-specific features.

OpenAITool

Bases: BaseTool[ChatCompletionToolParam]

A class for defining tools for OpenAI LLM calls.

Example:

from mirascope.core import prompt_template
from mirascope.core.openai import openai_call


def format_book(title: str, author: str) -> str:
    return f"{title} by {author}"


@openai_call("gpt-4o-mini", tools=[format_book])
def recommend_book(genre: str) -> str:
    return f"Recommend a {genre} book"


response = recommend_book("fantasy")
if tool := response.tool:  # returns an `OpenAITool` instance
    print(tool.call())

tool_schema classmethod 

tool_schema() -> ChatCompletionToolParam

Constructs a JSON Schema tool schema from the BaseModel schema defined.

Example: 

from mirascope.core.openai import OpenAITool


def format_book(title: str, author: str) -> str:
    return f"{title} by {author}"


tool_type = OpenAITool.type_from_fn(format_book)
print(tool_type.tool_schema())  # prints the OpenAI-specific tool schema
