AgentTool

Package: flyte.ai.agents

A normalized tool descriptor used by :class:Agent.

Most users do not construct :class:AgentTool directly — pass plain callables, @flyte.trace helpers, or @env.task templates to :class:Agent and they will be wrapped automatically. Build one explicitly when you need to:

• rename a tool for the LLM,
• override the description shown to the model,
• require human approval before execution (HITL),
• inject a fully custom JSON schema.

Parameters

class AgentTool(
    name: str,
    description: str,
    parameters: dict[str, Any],
    execute: _ToolExecutor,
    requires_approval: bool,
    source: Literal['function', 'task', 'trace', 'remote_task', 'mcp', 'custom'],
)

Methods
