A tool use demo illustrating how to connect AI models on Amazon Bedrock with a custom tool or API

The following code example shows how to build a typical interaction between an application, a generative AI model, and connected tools or APIs to mediate interactions between the AI and the outside world. It uses the example of connecting an external weather API to the AI model so it can provide real-time weather information based on user input.

Python
SDK for Python (Boto3)

There's more on GitHub. Find the complete example and learn how to set up and run in the AWS Code Examples Repository.

This demo illustrates a tool use scenario using Amazon Bedrock's Converse API and a weather tool.
The script interacts with a foundation model on Amazon Bedrock to provide weather information based on user
input. It uses the Open-Meteo API (https://open-meteo.com) to retrieve current weather data for a given location.

You are a weather assistant that provides current weather data for user-specified locations using only
the Weather_Tool, which expects latitude and longitude. Infer the coordinates from the location yourself.
If the user provides coordinates, infer the approximate location and refer to it in your response.
To use the tool, you strictly apply the provided tool specification.

- Explain your step-by-step process, and give brief updates before each step.
- Only use the Weather_Tool for data. Never guess or make up information. 
- Repeat the tool use for subsequent requests if necessary.
- If the tool errors, apologize, explain weather is unavailable, and suggest other options.
- Report temperatures in °C (°F) and wind in km/h (mph). Keep weather reports concise. Sparingly use
  emojis where appropriate.
- Only respond to weather queries. Remind off-topic users of your purpose. 
- Never claim to search online, access external data, or use tools besides Weather_Tool.
- Complete the entire process until you have all required data before sending the complete response.
