Extract docstring-documentation from a function

This function parses docstring-like documentation from a function object. This is used to extract information about the function's name, description, parameters, return value, and example usage. 'add_tools()' uses this function to provide an LLM with information about the functions it can call. For an example of how such documentation within a function, see the 'example_usage' vignette.

Usage

add_tools_extract_documentation(func)

Arguments

func

A function object which has internal, docstring-like, roxygen-like documentation, with the 'llm_tool::' tags: 'name', 'description', 'param', 'return', and 'example' (e.g., llm_tool::name my_function_name).

Value

A list with the following elements:

• name: The name of the function

• description: A description of the function

• parameters: A named list of parameters with descriptions

• return_value: A description of the return value

• example: An example of how the LLM should call the function

Details

Note that for 'example' it must be a one-line example of how the function is used in R, this will be converted to how LLM should call the function in text (slightly different syntax).

  #   The following functions are available:
  #
  #   function name: temperature_in_location
  #   description: Get the temperature in a location
  #   arguments:
  #       - location: Location, must be one of: "Amsterdam", "Utrecht", "Enschede"
  #     - unit: Unit, must be one of: "Celcius", "Fahrenheit"

  #   example usage: FUNCTION[temperature_in_location]("Amsterdam", "Fahrenheit")
  #
  #   After you call a function, wait until you receive more information.
  # --- Receiving response from LLM provider: ---
  #   I can use the `temperature_in_location` function to get the current weather in Enschede.
  #
  #   FUNCTION[temperature_in_location]("Enschede", "Celcius")
