Class LMFunctionToolBinder

Namespace
LMKit.Agents.Tools
Assembly
LM-Kit.NET.dll

Discovers methods annotated with LMFunctionAttribute and binds them to ITool adapters.

This type is stateless: each call inspects the provided instance/type/assembly via reflection, validates parameter types, and returns newly constructed ITool instances.

Inheritance

Inherited Members

Examples

Binding annotated methods on an instance to ITool adapters:

using LMKit.Agents.Tools;

public sealed class MathTools
{
[LMFunction("add", "Adds two integers and returns the sum.")]
public int Add(int a, int b) => a + b;
}


var tools = LMFunctionToolBinder.Bind(new MathTools());
foreach (ITool tool in tools)
Console.WriteLine(tool.Name);

Remarks

  • Only instance, public, non-abstract, non-generic methods are considered.
  • Parameters must use types supported by LM-Kit tool arguments (e.g., string, enums, and primitive numeric/boolean types). Unsupported types trigger ArgumentException.
  • If present, DescriptionAttribute on parameters is surfaced into the generated JSON schema.
  • Tool names and descriptions are taken from Name and Description.
