This code can be converted into a class that inherits from the [`Tool`] superclass.
This code can quickly be converted into a tool, just by wrapping it in a function and adding the `tool` decorator:
The custom tool needs:
- An attribute `name`, which corresponds to the name of the tool itself. The name usually describes what the tool does. Since the code returns the model with the most downloads for a task, let's name is `model_download_counter`.
- An attribute `description` is used to populate the agent's system prompt.
- An `inputs` attribute, which is a dictionary with keys `"type"` and `"description"`. It contains information that helps the Python interpreter make educated choices about the input.
- An `output_type` attribute, which specifies the output type.
- A `forward` method which contains the inference code to be executed.
```py
from transformers import tool
@tool
def model_download_counter(task: str) -> str:
"""
This is a tool that returns the most downloaded model of a given task on the Hugging Face Hub.
It returns the name of the checkpoint.
```python
from transformers import Tool
from huggingface_hub import list_models
class HFModelDownloadsTool(Tool):
name = "model_download_counter"
description = (
"This is a tool that returns the most downloaded model of a given task on the Hugging Face Hub. "
"It returns the name of the checkpoint."
)
inputs = {
"task": {
"type": "text",
"description": "the task category (such as text-classification, depth-estimation, etc)",
}
}
output_type = "text"
def forward(self, task: str):
model = next(iter(list_models(filter=task, sort="downloads", direction=-1)))
return model.id
Args:
task: The task for which
"""
model = next(iter(list_models(filter="text-classification", sort="downloads", direction=-1)))
return model.id
```
Now that the custom `HfModelDownloadsTool` class is ready, you can save it to a file named `model_downloads.py` and import it for use.
The function needs:
- A clear name. The name usually describes what the tool does. Since the code returns the model with the most downloads for a task, let's put `model_download_counter`.
- Type hints on both inputs and output
- A description, that includes an 'Args:' part where each argument is described (without a type indication this time, it will be pulled from the type hint).
All these will be automatically baked into the agent's system prompt upon initialization: so strive to make them as clear as possible!
> [!TIP]
> This definition format is the same as tool schemas used in `apply_chat_template`, the only difference is the added `tool` decorator: read more on our tool use API [here](https://huggingface.co/blog/unified-tool-use#passing-tools-to-a-chat-template).
```python
from model_downloads import HFModelDownloadsTool
tool = HFModelDownloadsTool()
```
You can also share your custom tool to the Hub by calling [`~Tool.push_to_hub`] on the tool. Make sure you've created a repository for it on the Hub and are using a token with read access.
```python
tool.push_to_hub("{your_username}/hf-model-downloads")
```
Load the tool with the [`~Tool.load_tool`] function and pass it to the `tools` parameter in your agent.
```python
from transformers import load_tool, CodeAgent
model_download_tool = load_tool("m-ric/hf-model-downloads")
Then you can directly initialize your agent:
```py
from transformers import CodeAgent
agent = CodeAgent(tools=[model_download_tool], llm_engine=llm_engine)
agent.run(
"Can you give me the name of the model that has the most downloads in the 'text-to-video' task on the Hugging Face Hub?"

And the output:

### Manage your agent's toolbox
If you have already initialized an agent, it is inconvenient to reinitialize it from scratch with a tool you want to use. With Transformers, you can manage an agent's toolbox by adding or replacing a tool.
