## Tool Calling To enable the tool calling feature, you may need to set certain tool calling parser options when starting the service. See [deploy_guidance](./deploy_guidance.md) for details. In Kimi-K2, a tool calling process includes: - Passing function descriptions to Kimi-K2 - Kimi-K2 decides to make a function call and returns the necessary information for the function call to the user - The user performs the function call, collects the call results, and passes the function call results to Kimi-K2 - Kimi-K2 continues to generate content based on the function call results until the model believes it has obtained sufficient information to respond to the user ### Preparing Tools Suppose we have a function `get_weather` that can query the weather conditions in real-time. This function accepts a city name as a parameter and returns the weather conditions. We need to prepare a structured description for it so that Kimi-K2 can understand its functionality. ```python def get_weather(city): return {"weather": "Sunny"} # Collect the tool descriptions in tools tools = [{ "type": "function", "function": { "name": "get_weather", "description": "Get weather information. Call this tool when the user needs to get weather information", "parameters": { "type": "object", "required": ["city"], "properties": { "city": { "type": "string", "description": "City name", } } } } }] # Tool name->object mapping for easy calling later tool_map = { "get_weather": get_weather } ``` ### Chat with tools We use `openai.OpenAI` to send messages to Kimi-K2 along with tool descriptions. Kimi-K2 will autonomously decide whether to use and how to use the provided tools. If Kimi-K2 believes a tool call is needed, it will return a result with `finish_reason='tool_calls'`. At this point, the returned result includes the tool call information. After calling tools with the provided information, we then need to append the tool call results to the chat history and continue calling Kimi-K2. Kimi-K2 may need to call tools multiple times until the model believes the current results can answer the user's question. We should check `finish_reason` until it is not `tool_calls`. The results obtained by the user after calling the tools should be added to `messages` with `role='tool'`. ```python import json from openai import OpenAI model_name='moonshotai/Kimi-K2-Instruct' client = OpenAI(base_url=endpoint, api_key='xxx') messages = [ {"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather like in Beijing today? Let's check using the tool."} ] finish_reason = None while finish_reason is None or finish_reason == "tool_calls": completion = client.chat.completions.create( model=model_name, messages=messages, temperature=0.3, tools=tools, tool_choice="auto", ) choice = completion.choices[0] finish_reason = choice.finish_reason # Note: The finish_reason when tool calls end may vary across different engines, so this condition check needs to be adjusted accordingly if finish_reason == "tool_calls": messages.append(choice.message) for tool_call in choice.message.tool_calls: tool_call_name = tool_call.function.name tool_call_arguments = json.loads(tool_call.function.arguments) tool_function = tool_map[tool_call_name] tool_result = tool_function(tool_call_arguments) print("tool_result", tool_result) messages.append({ "role": "tool", "tool_call_id": tool_call.id, "name": tool_call_name, "content": json.dumps(tool_result), }) print('-' * 100) print(choice.message.content) ``` ### Tool Calling in Streaming Mode Tool calling can also be used in streaming mode. In this case, we need to collect the tool call information returned in the stream until we have a complete tool call. Please refer to the code below: ```python messages = [ {"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather like in Beijing today? Let's check using the tool."} ] finish_reason = None msg = '' while finish_reason is None or finish_reason == "tool_calls": completion = client.chat.completions.create( model=model_name, messages=messages, temperature=0.3, tools=tools, tool_choice="auto", stream=True ) tool_calls = [] for chunk in completion: delta = chunk.choices[0].delta if delta.content: msg += delta.content if delta.tool_calls: for tool_call_chunk in delta.tool_calls: if tool_call_chunk.index is not None: # Extend the tool_calls list while len(tool_calls) <= tool_call_chunk.index: tool_calls.append({ "id": "", "type": "function", "function": { "name": "", "arguments": "" } }) tc = tool_calls[tool_call_chunk.index] if tool_call_chunk.id: tc["id"] += tool_call_chunk.id if tool_call_chunk.function.name: tc["function"]["name"] += tool_call_chunk.function.name if tool_call_chunk.function.arguments: tc["function"]["arguments"] += tool_call_chunk.function.arguments finish_reason = chunk.choices[0].finish_reason # Note: The finish_reason when tool calls end may vary across different engines, so this condition check needs to be adjusted accordingly if finish_reason == "tool_calls": for tool_call in tool_calls: tool_call_name = tool_call['function']['name'] tool_call_arguments = json.loads(tool_call['function']['arguments']) tool_function = tool_map[tool_call_name] tool_result = tool_function(tool_call_arguments) messages.append({ "role": "tool", "tool_call_id": tool_call['id'], "name": tool_call_name, "content": json.dumps(tool_result), }) # The text generated by the tool call is not the final version, reset msg msg = '' print(msg) ``` ### Manually Parsing Tool Calls The tool call requests generated by Kimi-K2 can also be parsed manually, which is especially useful when the service you are using does not provide a tool-call parser. The tool call requests generated by Kimi-K2 are wrapped by `<|tool_calls_section_begin|>` and `<|tool_calls_section_end|>`, with each tool call wrapped by `<|tool_call_begin|>` and `<|tool_call_end|>`. The tool ID and arguments are separated by `<|tool_call_argument_begin|>`. The format of the tool ID is `functions.{func_name}:{idx}`, from which we can parse the function name. Based on the above rules, we can directly post request to the completions interface and manually parse tool calls. ```python import requests from transformers import AutoTokenizer messages = [ {"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather like in Beijing today? Let's check using the tool."} ] msg = '' tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True) while True: text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template( messages, tokenize=False, tools=tools, add_generation_prompt=True, ) payload = { "model": model_name, "prompt": text, "max_tokens": 512 } response = requests.post( f"{endpoint}/completions", headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"}, json=payload, stream=False, ) raw_out = response.json() raw_output = raw_out["choices"][0]["text"] tool_calls = extract_tool_call_info(raw_output) if len(tool_calls) == 0: # No tool calls msg = raw_output break else: for tool_call in tool_calls: tool_call_name = tool_call['function']['name'] tool_call_arguments = json.loads(tool_call['function']['arguments']) tool_function = tool_map[tool_call_name] tool_result = tool_function(tool_call_arguments) messages.append({ "role": "tool", "tool_call_id": tool_call['id'], "name": tool_call_name, "content": json.dumps(tool_result), }) print('-' * 100) print(msg) ``` Here, `extract_tool_call_info` parses the model output and returns the model call information. A simple implementation would be: ```python def extract_tool_call_info(tool_call_rsp: str): if '<|tool_calls_section_begin|>' not in tool_call_rsp: # No tool calls return [] import re pattern = r"<\|tool_calls_section_begin\|>(.*?)<\|tool_calls_section_end\|>" tool_calls_sections = re.findall(pattern, tool_call_rsp, re.DOTALL) # Extract multiple tool calls func_call_pattern = r"<\|tool_call_begin\|>\s*(?P[\w\.]+:\d+)\s*<\|tool_call_argument_begin\|>\s*(?P.*?)\s*<\|tool_call_end\|>" tool_calls = [] for match in re.findall(func_call_pattern, tool_calls_sections[0], re.DOTALL): function_id, function_args = match # function_id: functions.get_weather:0 function_name = function_id.split('.')[1].split(':')[0] tool_calls.append( { "id": function_id, "type": "function", "function": { "name": function_name, "arguments": function_args } } ) return tool_calls ```
