## Installation

```bash
pip install toolbox-llamaindex
```

## Quickstart

Here's a minimal example to get you started using
[LlamaIndex](https://docs.llamaindex.ai/en/stable/#getting-started):

```py
import asyncio

from llama_index.llms.google_genai import GoogleGenAI
from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import AgentWorkflow

from toolbox_llamaindex import ToolboxClient

async def run_agent():
  async with ToolboxClient("http://127.0.0.1:5000") as toolbox:
    tools = toolbox.load_toolset()

    vertex_model = GoogleGenAI(
        model="gemini-2.0-flash-001",
        vertexai_config={"project": "project-id", "location": "us-central1"},
    )
    agent = AgentWorkflow.from_tools_or_functions(
        tools,
        llm=vertex_model,
        system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant.",
    )
    response = await agent.run(user_msg="Get some response from the agent.")
    print(response)

asyncio.run(run_agent())
```

> [!TIP]
> For a complete, end-to-end example including setting up the service and using
> an SDK, see the full tutorial: [**Toolbox Quickstart
> Tutorial**](https://googleapis.github.io/genai-toolbox/getting-started/local_quickstart)

## Usage

Import and initialize the toolbox client.

```py
from toolbox_llamaindex import ToolboxClient

# Replace with your Toolbox service's URL
async with ToolboxClient("http://127.0.0.1:5000") as toolbox:
```

## Loading Tools

### Load a toolset

A toolset is a collection of related tools. You can load all tools in a toolset
or a specific one:

```py
# Load all tools
tools = toolbox.load_toolset()

# Load a specific toolset
tools = toolbox.load_toolset("my-toolset")
```

### Load a single tool

```py
tool = toolbox.load_tool("my-tool")
```

Loading individual tools gives you finer-grained control over which tools are
available to your LLM agent.

## Use with LlamaIndex

LlamaIndex's agents can dynamically choose and execute tools based on the user
input. Include tools loaded from the Toolbox SDK in the agent's toolkit:

```py
from llama_index.llms.google_genai import GoogleGenAI
from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import AgentWorkflow

vertex_model = GoogleGenAI(
    model="gemini-2.0-flash-001",
    vertexai_config={"project": "project-id", "location": "us-central1"},
)

# Initialize agent with tools
agent = AgentWorkflow.from_tools_or_functions(
    tools,
    llm=vertex_model,
    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant.",
)

# Query the agent
response = await agent.run(user_msg="Get some response from the agent.")
print(response)
```

### Maintain state

To maintain state for the agent, add context as follows:

```py
from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import AgentWorkflow
from llama_index.core.workflow import Context
from llama_index.llms.google_genai import GoogleGenAI

vertex_model = GoogleGenAI(
    model="gemini-2.0-flash-001",
    vertexai_config={"project": "project-id", "location": "us-central1"},
)
agent = AgentWorkflow.from_tools_or_functions(
    tools,
    llm=vertex_model,
    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant",
)

# Save memory in agent context
ctx = Context(agent)
response = await agent.run(user_msg="Give me some response.", ctx=ctx)
print(response)
```

## Manual usage

Execute a tool manually using the `call` method:

```py
result = tools[0].call(name="Alice", age=30)
```

This is useful for testing tools or when you need precise control over tool
execution outside of an agent framework.

## Client to Server Authentication

This section describes how to authenticate the ToolboxClient itself when
connecting to a Toolbox server instance that requires authentication. This is
crucial for securing your Toolbox server endpoint, especially when deployed on
platforms like Cloud Run, GKE,  or any environment where unauthenticated access is restricted.

This client-to-server authentication ensures that the Toolbox server can verify
the identity of the client making the request before any tool is loaded or
called. It is different from [Authenticating Tools](#authenticating-tools),
which deals with providing credentials for specific tools within an already
connected Toolbox session.

### When is Client-to-Server Authentication Needed?

You'll need this type of authentication if your Toolbox server is configured to
deny unauthenticated requests. For example:

- Your Toolbox server is deployed on Cloud Run and configured to "Require authentication."
- Your server is behind an Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP) or a similar
  authentication layer.
- You have custom authentication middleware on your self-hosted Toolbox server.

Without proper client authentication in these scenarios, attempts to connect or
make calls (like `load_tool`) will likely fail with `Unauthorized` errors.

### How it works

The `ToolboxClient` allows you to specify functions (or coroutines for the async
client) that dynamically generate HTTP headers for every request sent to the
Toolbox server. The most common use case is to add an Authorization header with
a bearer token (e.g., a Google ID token).

These header-generating functions are called just before each request, ensuring
that fresh credentials or header values can be used.

### Configuration

You can configure these dynamic headers as follows:

```python
from toolbox_llamaindex import ToolboxClient

async with ToolboxClient(
    "toolbox-url", 
    client_headers={"header1": header1_getter, "header2": header2_getter, ...}
) as client:
```

### Authenticating with Google Cloud Servers

For Toolbox servers hosted on Google Cloud (e.g., Cloud Run) and requiring
`Google ID token` authentication, the helper module
[auth_methods](src/toolbox_core/auth_methods.py) provides utility functions.

### Step by Step Guide for Cloud Run

1. **Configure Permissions**: [Grant](https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/securing/managing-access#service-add-principals) the `roles/run.invoker` IAM role on the Cloud
   Run service to the principal. This could be your `user account email` or a
   `service account`.
2. **Configure Credentials**
    - Local Development: Set up
   [ADC](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/set-up-adc-local-dev-environment).
    - Google Cloud Environments: When running within Google Cloud (e.g., Compute
      Engine, GKE, another Cloud Run service, Cloud Functions), ADC is typically
      configured automatically, using the environment's default service account.
3. **Connect to the Toolbox Server**

    ```python
    from toolbox_llamaindex import ToolboxClient
    from toolbox_core import auth_methods

    auth_token_provider = auth_methods.aget_google_id_token(URL)
    async with ToolboxClient(
        URL,
        client_headers={"Authorization": auth_token_provider},
    ) as client:
        tools = await client.aload_toolset()

        # Now, you can use the client as usual.
    ```

## Authenticating Tools

> [!WARNING]
> Always use HTTPS to connect your application with the Toolbox service,
> especially when using tools with authentication configured. Using HTTP exposes
> your application to serious security risks.

Some tools require user authentication to access sensitive data.

### Supported Authentication Mechanisms
Toolbox currently supports authentication using the [OIDC
protocol](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html) with [ID
tokens](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#IDToken) (not
access tokens) for [Google OAuth
2.0](https://cloud.google.com/apigee/docs/api-platform/security/oauth/oauth-home).

### Configure Tools

Refer to [these
instructions](https://googleapis.github.io/genai-toolbox/resources/tools/#authenticated-parameters) on
configuring tools for authenticated parameters.

### Configure SDK

You need a method to retrieve an ID token from your authentication service:

```py
async def get_auth_token():
    # ... Logic to retrieve ID token (e.g., from local storage, OAuth flow)
    # This example just returns a placeholder. Replace with your actual token retrieval.
    return "YOUR_ID_TOKEN" # Placeholder
```

#### Add Authentication to a Tool

```py
async with ToolboxClient("http://127.0.0.1:5000") as toolbox:
    tools = toolbox.load_toolset()

    auth_tool = tools[0].add_auth_token_getter("my_auth", get_auth_token) # Single token

    multi_auth_tool = tools[0].add_auth_token_getters({"auth_1": get_auth_1}, {"auth_2": get_auth_2}) # Multiple tokens

    # OR

    auth_tools = [tool.add_auth_token_getter("my_auth", get_auth_token) for tool in tools]
```

#### Add Authentication While Loading

```py
auth_tool = toolbox.load_tool(auth_token_getters={"my_auth": get_auth_token})

auth_tools = toolbox.load_toolset(auth_token_getters={"my_auth": get_auth_token})
```

> [!NOTE]
> Adding auth tokens during loading only affect the tools loaded within
> that call.

### Complete Example

```py
import asyncio
from toolbox_llamaindex import ToolboxClient

async def get_auth_token():
    # ... Logic to retrieve ID token (e.g., from local storage, OAuth flow)
    # This example just returns a placeholder. Replace with your actual token retrieval.
    return "YOUR_ID_TOKEN" # Placeholder

async with ToolboxClient("http://127.0.0.1:5000") as toolbox:
    tool = toolbox.load_tool("my-tool")

    auth_tool = tool.add_auth_token_getter("my_auth", get_auth_token)
    result = auth_tool.call(input="some input")
    print(result)
```

## Binding Parameter Values

Predetermine values for tool parameters using the SDK. These values won't be
modified by the LLM. This is useful for:

* **Protecting sensitive information:**  API keys, secrets, etc.
* **Enforcing consistency:** Ensuring specific values for certain parameters.
* **Pre-filling known data:**  Providing defaults or context.

### Binding Parameters to a Tool

```py
async with ToolboxClient("http://127.0.0.1:5000") as toolbox:
    tools = toolbox.load_toolset()

    bound_tool = tool[0].bind_param("param", "value") # Single param

    multi_bound_tool = tools[0].bind_params({"param1": "value1", "param2": "value2"}) # Multiple params

    # OR

    bound_tools = [tool.bind_param("param", "value") for tool in tools]
```

### Binding Parameters While Loading

```py
bound_tool = toolbox.load_tool("my-tool", bound_params={"param": "value"})

bound_tools = toolbox.load_toolset(bound_params={"param": "value"})
```

> [!NOTE]
> Bound values during loading only affect the tools loaded in that call.

### Binding Dynamic Values

Use a function to bind dynamic values:

```py
def get_dynamic_value():
  # Logic to determine the value
  return "dynamic_value"

dynamic_bound_tool = tool.bind_param("param", get_dynamic_value)
```

> [!IMPORTANT]
> You don't need to modify tool configurations to bind parameter values.

## Asynchronous Usage

For better performance through [cooperative
multitasking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_multitasking), you can
use the asynchronous interfaces of the `ToolboxClient`.

> [!Note]
> Asynchronous interfaces like `aload_tool` and `aload_toolset` require an
> asynchronous environment. For guidance on running asynchronous Python
> programs, see [asyncio
> documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-runner.html#running-an-asyncio-program).

```py
import asyncio
from toolbox_llamaindex import ToolboxClient

async def main():
    async with ToolboxClient("http://127.0.0.1:5000") as toolbox:
        tool = await client.aload_tool("my-tool")
        tools = await client.aload_toolset()
        response = await tool.ainvoke()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
```
