Function Calling en Tool Use: LLM Integratiegids
Function calling is een krachtige mogelijkheid waarmee LLM’s gestructureerde output kunnen genereren en externe functies kunnen aanroepen.
Wat is Function Calling?
1Traditional: 2User: "How is the weather in Istanbul?" 3LLM: "I don't know the weather" (hallucination risk) 4 5Function Calling: 6User: "How is the weather in Istanbul?" 7LLM: {"function": "get_weather", "args": {"city": "Istanbul"}} 8System: get_weather("Istanbul") → 15°C 9LLM: "The weather in Istanbul is 15°C"
OpenAI Function Calling
Basisgebruik
1from openai import OpenAI 2 3client = OpenAI() 4 5tools = [ 6 { 7 "type": "function", 8 "function": { 9 "name": "get_weather", 10 "description": "Get the weather for a specific city", 11 "parameters": { 12 "type": "object", 13 "properties": { 14 "city": { 15 "type": "string", 16 "description": "City name, e.g. Istanbul" 17 }, 18 "unit": { 19 "type": "string", 20 "enum": ["celsius", "fahrenheit"], 21 "description": "Temperature unit" 22 } 23 }, 24 "required": ["city"] 25 } 26 } 27 } 28] 29 30response = client.chat.completions.create( 31 model="gpt-4-turbo", 32 messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "How is the weather in Istanbul?"}], 33 tools=tools, 34 tool_choice="auto" 35)
Parallel Function Calling
Meerdere functies tegelijkertijd:
1tools = [ 2 {"type": "function", "function": weather_function}, 3 {"type": "function", "function": stock_function}, 4 {"type": "function", "function": news_function} 5] 6 7response = client.chat.completions.create( 8 model="gpt-4-turbo", 9 messages=[{ 10 "role": "user", 11 "content": "Istanbul weather, TSLA stock and current news?" 12 }], 13 tools=tools, 14 tool_choice="auto" 15) 16 17# Response can contain multiple tool calls 18for tool_call in response.choices[0].message.tool_calls: 19 print(f"Function: {tool_call.function.name}") 20 print(f"Args: {tool_call.function.arguments}")

Gestructureerde Output (JSON-modus)
OpenAI JSON-modus
1response = client.chat.completions.create( 2 model="gpt-4-turbo", 3 response_format={"type": "json_object"}, 4 messages=[ 5 { 6 "role": "system", 7 "content": "Respond in JSON format." 8 }, 9 { 10 "role": "user", 11 "content": "Suggest me 3 programming languages." 12 } 13 ] 14) 15 16data = json.loads(response.choices[0].message.content) 17# {"languages": ["Python", "JavaScript", "Go"]}
Validatie met Pydantic
1from pydantic import BaseModel 2from typing import List 3 4class ProgrammingLanguage(BaseModel): 5 name: str 6 use_case: str 7 difficulty: str 8 9class LanguageRecommendation(BaseModel): 10 languages: List<ProgrammingLanguage] 11 reasoning: str 12 13def get_structured_response(prompt: str, model: BaseModel): 14 schema = model.model_json_schema() 15 16 response = client.chat.completions.create( 17 model="gpt-4-turbo", 18 response_format={"type": "json_object"}, 19 messages=[ 20 { 21 "role": "system", 22 "content": f"JSON schema: {json.dumps(schema)}" 23 }, 24 {"role": "user", "content": prompt} 25 ] 26 ) 27 28 return model.model_validate_json( 29 response.choices[0].message.content 30 )
Instructor Library
Eenvoudige integratie met Pydantic + OpenAI:
1import instructor 2from pydantic import BaseModel 3from openai import OpenAI 4 5client = instructor.patch(OpenAI()) 6 7class UserInfo(BaseModel): 8 name: str 9 age: int 10 email: str 11 12user = client.chat.completions.create( 13 model="gpt-4-turbo", 14 response_model=UserInfo, 15 messages=[ 16 {"role": "user", "content": "John Doe, 25 years old, john@email.com"} 17 ] 18) 19 20print(user.name) # John Doe 21print(user.age) # 25 22## Complexe Tooldefinities 23 24### Geneste Parameters 25 26```python 27{ 28 "name": "create_calendar_event", 29 "description": "Create a calendar event", 30 "parameters": { 31 "type": "object", 32 "properties": { 33 "title": {"type": "string"}, 34 "datetime": { 35 "type": "object", 36 "properties": { 37 "date": {"type": "string", "format": "date"}, 38 "time": {"type": "string", "format": "time"}, 39 "timezone": {"type": "string"} 40 }, 41 "required": ["date", "time"] 42 }, 43 "attendees": { 44 "type": "array", 45 "items": { 46 "type": "object", 47 "properties": { 48 "email": {"type": "string"}, 49 "role": {"type": "string", "enum": ["required", "optional"]} 50 } 51 } 52 }, 53 "reminder": { 54 "type": "object", 55 "properties": { 56 "minutes_before": {"type": "integer"}, 57 "method": {"type": "string", "enum": ["email", "popup"]} 58 } 59 } 60 }, 61 "required": ["title", "datetime"] 62 } 63}
Fouthandling
1class FunctionCallError(Exception): 2 pass 3 4def safe_execute_function(tool_call, available_functions): 5 try: 6 name = tool_call.function.name 7 args = json.loads(tool_call.function.arguments) 8 9 if name not in available_functions: 10 raise FunctionCallError(f"Unknown function: {name}") 11 12 # Parameter validation 13 func = available_functions[name] 14 sig = inspect.signature(func) 15 16 for param in sig.parameters.values(): 17 if param.default is inspect.Parameter.empty: 18 if param.name not in args: 19 raise FunctionCallError( 20 f"Missing required parameter: {param.name}" 21 ) 22 23 # Execute with timeout 24 with timeout(30): 25 result = func(**args) 26 27 return {"success": True, "result": result} 28 29 except json.JSONDecodeError as e: 30 return {"success": False, "error": f"Invalid JSON: {e}"} 31 except FunctionCallError as e: 32 return {"success": False, "error": str(e)} 33 except TimeoutError: 34 return {"success": False, "error": "Function timeout"} 35 except Exception as e: 36 return {"success": False, "error": f"Execution error: {e}"}
Best Practices
1. Duidelijke Beschrijvingen
1# Bad 2{"name": "search", "description": "Searches"} 3 4# Good 5{ 6 "name": "search_products", 7 "description": "Searches in e-commerce product database. " 8 "Can search by product name, category or brand. " 9 "Returns maximum 20 results." 10}
2. Gebruik van Enum
1"payment_method": { 2 "type": "string", 3 "enum": ["credit_card", "bank_transfer", "crypto"], 4 "description": "Payment method" 5}
3. Standaardwaarden
1"limit": { 2 "type": "integer", 3 "default": 10, 4 "description": "Result limit (default: 10)" 5}
Conclusie
Function calling verandert LLM’s in krachtige automatiseringstools. Met correct schemaontwerp en fouthandling kun je betrouwbare integraties creëren.
Bij Veni AI ontwikkelen we oplossingen gebaseerd op function calling.
