AIFunction Tools

Many tryAGI SDKs expose AIFunction wrappers built on top of Microsoft.Extensions.AI. These wrappers let any IChatClient call provider-specific capabilities such as search, translation, prompt management, browser automation, moderation, or media generation.

Usage Pattern

Every tool SDK follows the same pattern: create a client, call As*Tool(), and pass the result into ChatOptions.Tools.

using Microsoft.Extensions.AI;

var options = new ChatOptions
{
    Tools =
    [
        searchClient.AsSearchTool(),
        translateClient.AsTranslateTool(),
    ],
};

var response = await chatClient.GetResponseAsync(
    "Find the latest updates and translate the summary to Japanese.",
    options);

Installation

Each tool SDK is independent. Add only the packages you need, using the package ID shown in the provider's own guide page.

Notes

Some SDKs combine direct MEAI interfaces and tool wrappers. Important examples are FishAudio, Nomic, Pinecone, RevAI, SarvamAI, Speechmatics, and Upstage.
Tool wrappers are especially useful when a provider is not itself an LLM but still exposes functionality that an IChatClient can orchestrate.
The dedicated SDK guide remains the best place to find the exact As*Tool() methods and parameter details for a given provider.
