Autobuild will dramatically change in the next few weeks with newly designed prompts and a new retrieval system, including how to bind tools with agents. I suggest closing this PR and resubmitting it after the new Autobuild release.

@LinxinS97 thanks for the headsup. Could you include @krishnashed as a reviewer for the changes? If there is a mutual interest, also invite @krishnashed to test it.

[krishnashed]

Sure @sonichi @LinxinS97 I'm very interested, I would like to contribute in any way I can.

@LinxinS97 I looked up open issues/PRs but didn't find anything revolving around change in tools/function bindings, Could you share some links about where we are heading to? Is there something I can contribute to in that work ?

Is this the format we will define and utilize functions: https://microsoft.github.io/autogen/docs/topics/code-execution/user-defined-functions ? So should the changes be made according to this ?

We will separate tool_builder and agent_builder into two files. tool_builder will be released next week, and you can continue contributing to that PR.

Sure @LinxinS97 that's great. Can you please point me to the PR, GitHub Issue or a doc where it's described more in detail. So that I can get started ?
