Toolsets API¶
create_console_toolset¶
pydantic_ai_backends.toolsets.console.create_console_toolset(id=None, include_execute=True, include_background=True, require_write_approval=False, require_execute_approval=True, default_ignore_hidden=True, permissions=None, max_retries=1, image_support=False, max_image_bytes=DEFAULT_MAX_IMAGE_BYTES, document_support=False, max_document_bytes=DEFAULT_MAX_DOCUMENT_BYTES, edit_format='str_replace', descriptions=None)
¶
Create a console toolset for file operations and shell execution.
This toolset provides tools for interacting with the filesystem and executing shell commands. It works with any backend that implements BackendProtocol (LocalBackend, DockerSandbox, StateBackend, etc.)
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
id
|
str | None
|
Optional unique ID for the toolset. |
None
|
include_execute
|
bool
|
Whether to include the execute tool. Requires backend to have execute() method. |
True
|
require_write_approval
|
bool
|
Whether write_file and edit_file require approval. Ignored if permissions is provided. |
False
|
require_execute_approval
|
bool
|
Whether execute requires approval. Ignored if permissions is provided. |
True
|
default_ignore_hidden
|
bool
|
Default behavior for grep regarding hidden files. |
True
|
permissions
|
PermissionRuleset | None
|
Optional permission ruleset to determine tool approval requirements. If provided, overrides require_write_approval and require_execute_approval based on whether the operation's default action is "ask". |
None
|
max_retries
|
int
|
Maximum number of retries for each tool during a run. When the model sends invalid arguments (e.g. missing required fields), the validation error is fed back and the model can retry up to this many times. Defaults to 1. |
1
|
image_support
|
bool
|
Whether to enable image file handling in read_file. When True, reading image files (.png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .webp) returns a BinaryContent object that multimodal models can see, instead of garbled text. Defaults to False. |
False
|
max_image_bytes
|
int
|
Maximum image file size in bytes (default: 50MB). Images larger than this will return an error message instead. Only used when image_support is True. |
DEFAULT_MAX_IMAGE_BYTES
|
document_support
|
bool
|
Whether to enable binary document handling in read_file. When True, reading document files (.pdf) returns a BinaryContent object that models capable of document understanding (OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini) can read, instead of the empty/garbled text produced by reading a binary file as text. Kept separate from image_support so document handling can evolve independently (e.g. OCR or text-extraction fallbacks). Defaults to False. |
False
|
max_document_bytes
|
int
|
Maximum document file size in bytes (default: 50MB). Documents larger than this will return an error message instead. Only used when document_support is True. |
DEFAULT_MAX_DOCUMENT_BYTES
|
edit_format
|
EditFormat
|
File editing format to use. |
'str_replace'
|
descriptions
|
dict[str, str] | None
|
Optional mapping of tool name to custom description override.
When provided, the description for a tool is looked up as
|
None
|
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
FunctionToolset[ConsoleDeps]
|
FunctionToolset with console tools. |
Example
from dataclasses import dataclass
from pydantic_ai_backends import LocalBackend, create_console_toolset
@dataclass
class MyDeps:
backend: LocalBackend
toolset = create_console_toolset()
deps = MyDeps(backend=LocalBackend("/workspace"))
# With hashline edit format (better accuracy, fewer tokens)
toolset = create_console_toolset(edit_format="hashline")
# With image support for multimodal models
toolset = create_console_toolset(image_support=True)
# With document (PDF) support for document-understanding models
toolset = create_console_toolset(document_support=True)
# Or with permissions
from pydantic_ai_backends.permissions import DEFAULT_RULESET
toolset = create_console_toolset(permissions=DEFAULT_RULESET)
