adding New Tools

Add new tools in tools.ts using the tool builder:

// Example of a tool that requires confirmation
const searchDatabase = tool({
  description: "Search the database for user records",
  parameters: z.object({
    query: z.string(),
    limit: z.number().optional(),
  }),
  // No execute function = requires confirmation
});

// Example of an auto-executing tool
const getCurrentTime = tool({
  description: "Get current server time",
  parameters: z.object({}),
  execute: async () => new Date().toISOString(),
});

// Scheduling tool implementation
const scheduleTask = tool({
  description:
    "schedule a task to be executed at a later time. 'when' can be a date, a delay in seconds, or a cron pattern.",
  parameters: z.object({
    type: z.enum(["scheduled", "delayed", "cron"]),
    when: z.union([z.number(), z.string()]),
    payload: z.string(),
  }),
  execute: async ({ type, when, payload }) => {
    // ... see the implementation in tools.ts
  },
});

To handle tool confirmations, add execution functions to the executions object:

export const executions = {
  searchDatabase: async ({
    query,
    limit,
  }: {
    query: string;
    limit?: number;
  }) => {
    // Implementation for when the tool is confirmed
    const results = await db.search(query, limit);
    return results;
  },
  // Add more execution handlers for other tools that require confirmation
};

Tools can be configured in two ways:

1. With an execute function for automatic execution
2. Without an execute function, requiring confirmation and using the executions object to handle the confirmed action

Use a different AI model provider

The starting server.ts implementation uses the ai-sdk and the OpenAI provider, but you can use any AI model provider by:

1. Installing an alternative AI provider for the ai-sdk, such as the workers-ai-provider or anthropic provider:
2. Replacing the AI SDK with the OpenAI SDK
3. Using the Cloudflare Workers AI + AI Gateway binding API directly

For example, to use the workers-ai-provider, install the package:

npm install workers-ai-provider

Add an ai binding to wrangler.jsonc:

// rest of file
  "ai": {
    "binding": "AI"
  }
// rest of file

Replace the @ai-sdk/openai import and usage with the workers-ai-provider:

// server.ts
// Change the imports
- import { createOpenAI } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
+ import { createWorkersAI } from 'workers-ai-provider';

// Create a Workers AI instance
- const openai = createOpenAI({
-     apiKey: this.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
- });
+ const workersai = createWorkersAI({ binding: env.AI });

// Use it when calling the streamText method (or other methods)
// from the ai-sdk
- const result = streamText({
-    model: openai("gpt-4o-2024-11-20"),
+ const model = workersai("@cf/deepseek-ai/deepseek-r1-distill-qwen-32b")

Commit your changes and then run the agents-starter as per the rest of this README.

Modifying the UI

The chat interface is built with React and can be customized in app.tsx:

• Modify the theme colors in styles.css
• Add new UI components in the chat container
• Customize message rendering and tool confirmation dialogs
• Add new controls to the header

Example Use Cases

1. Customer Support Agent

   • Add tools for:
     • Ticket creation/lookup
     • Order status checking
     • Product recommendations
     • FAQ database search

2. Development Assistant

   • Integrate tools for:
     • Code linting
     • Git operations
     • Documentation search
     • Dependency checking

3. Data Analysis Assistant

   • Build tools for:
     • Database querying
     • Data visualization
     • Statistical analysis
     • Report generation

4. Personal Productivity Assistant

   • Implement tools for:
     • Task scheduling with flexible timing options
     • One-time, delayed, and recurring task management
     • Task tracking with reminders
     • Email drafting
     • Note taking

5. Scheduling Assistant

   • Build tools for:
     • One-time event scheduling using specific dates
     • Delayed task execution (e.g., "remind me in 30 minutes")
     • Recurring tasks using cron patterns
     • Task payload management
     • Flexible scheduling patterns

Each use case can be implemented by:

1. Adding relevant tools in tools.ts
2. Customizing the UI for specific interactions
3. Extending the agent's capabilities in server.ts
4. Adding any necessary external API integrations
