I am trying to get to use the web search tools in an Agent but it is giving the response without using the tools.

I have tried with the DuckDuckGo tool and as well as the Newspaper4k but it is always giving the response without using the websearch. I am using a custom LLM endpoint and the model is working as shown in the output. But it is not using the web search tool.

Thank you for reaching out and using Phidata! I’ve tagged the relevant engineers to assist you with your query. We aim to respond within 24 hours.
If this is urgent, please feel free to let us know, and we’ll do our best to prioritize it.
Thanks for your patience!

Hi @zhade111

I suspect your issue might be related to your model not properly supporting tool calling. I tested the above, using another model on the OpenAILike class and it worked with tool calling and gave the expected result.

4

It started working after I added “Search web using tools” to the instructions

5

Hello @shyam ! Yes, depending on the model, instructions can made a big difference in how/whether the tool gets executed

6

Hi Shyam,

What model did you use to get the desired output?

7

Hi @WillemdeJongh
What model did you use to get the desired output.

8

Hi @Vicky

I believe it was this
agent = Agent(model=Sambanova(id="Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct"), markdown=True)

I tried 3 variations of models - Mistral, Gemini and OpenAI. Only OpenAI model used the tool. I have pasted the code and output below.

Mistral

from logging import debug
from typing import List, Optional

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAILike
from agno.tools.duckduckgo import DuckDuckGoTools

from pydantic import BaseModel, Field

class ResponseModel(BaseModel):
    response: str = Field(..., description="The response from the agent")

instructions = """

Your task is to provide a response strictly in the following JSON format:

{
  "response": "<Insert the response from the agent here>"
}

Guidelines:
- Only output valid JSON.
- Do not include any extra text, explanations, or formatting outside the JSON.
- Ensure the value for "response" is a clear and concise answer to the user's input.

web_agent.print_response("Whats happening in France?")

DEBUG    According to recent news reports, there have been ongoing protests and strikes in France, primarily       
         focused on the government's pension reform plan. The proposed reform aims to simplify and unify the       
         country's complex pension system, but critics argue that it could lead to higher retirement ages and      
         reduced benefits for some workers.                                                                        
                                                                                                                   
         The protests, which began in mid-November 2019, have disrupted transportation, schools, and other public  
         services. The French trade unions, which represent various worker groups, have called for continued action
         until the government withdraws the pension reform bill.

         * **Protests and Social Unrest:** France has seen significant social unrest in recent years, often        
         stemming from economic inequality and government policies.  The most recent major wave of protests        
         involved widespread demonstrations against pension reforms, which raised the retirement age.  These       
         protests frequently involved clashes with police and significant disruptions to public services.  [Source:

         * **Political Landscape:**  France's political landscape is currently dominated by President Emmanuel     
         Macron, though his approval ratings fluctuate.  The political opposition remains fragmented, with various 
         parties vying for influence.  Recent elections and their outcomes provide context for the current         
         political climate. [Source:  Again, various news outlets covering French politics; specific election

         figures provide insights into the current state of the French economy. [Source:  OECD data, INSEE

         * **Social Issues:**  France continues to grapple with issues such as immigration, integration of diverse 
         communities, and social inequalities. These issues are frequently debated in the public sphere and        
         influence political discourse. [Source:  Reports from organizations like the OECD, and news articles

         relationships with other European Union members, its role within NATO, and its foreign policy initiatives 
         are constantly evolving and impacting domestic events. [Source:  News coverage of French foreign policy

Yes, I tried it too and it works. But I tried other LLAMA models through a different provider and it did not work.

Hey @kontrol!

I really appreciate you trying this out with so many models! Function calling usually depends on whether the model can correctly interpret and execute the function call. When it fails, it’s often due to the model hallucinating or not fully understanding the task. Sometimes, providing explicit instructions (by passing the instructions parameter to the agent) helps, while other times, the model handles it well with minimal guidance.
