This library provides a comprehensive suite of tools designed to empower AI agents with practical capabilities, enabling them to interact with files, execute code, access cloud services, and more. It targets developers building sophisticated AI agents who need to bridge the gap between LLMs and real-world applications.

How It Works

The library offers a modular design with over 30 distinct tools, each encapsulating a specific function. These tools are designed to be easily integrated into AI agent frameworks, allowing agents to perform actions like reading/writing files, executing shell commands, making HTTP requests, running Python code, interacting with AWS services, and even managing complex operations like video generation and swarm intelligence. This approach provides a standardized and extensible way for agents to access diverse functionalities.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install with: pip install strands-agents-tools
• Optional dependencies for specific tools can be installed via extras (e.g., pip install strands-agents-tools[mem0_memory]).
• Some tools have platform-specific limitations, notably shell, python_repl, and cron do not work on Windows.
• Refer to the Documentation and Samples for detailed usage.

Highlighted Details

• Extensive toolset covering file operations, shell commands, HTTP requests, Python execution, AWS integration, image/video processing, and advanced reasoning.
• Supports memory management via Mem0 and Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases.
• Includes tools for swarm intelligence, parallel tool execution (batch), and browser automation (use_browser).
• Highly configurable via environment variables for various aspects of tool behavior and defaults.

Maintenance & Community

The project is actively maintained and welcomes contributions. Details on contributing, reporting bugs, and security issues can be found in the Contributing Guide.

Licensing & Compatibility

Licensed under the Apache License 2.0, allowing for commercial use and integration into closed-source projects.

Limitations & Caveats

The library is currently in public preview, meaning APIs may change. Several tools, including shell execution, Python REPL, and cron job scheduling, are explicitly noted as not working on Windows.
