The HTTP Tool is an extremely powerful feature that allows AI Agents to execute HTTP requests seamlessly, enabling them to call any API during a conversation. (Under the hood, it uses function calling)

This tool is integrated into the language model, which utilizes both the tool’s name and its detailed description, along with predefined parameters, to determine the appropriate moments for activation.

Additionally, the model can be explicitly instructed when to use the tool through directives included in its system prompt.

For example, a sample description of the HTTP Tool might be:
“Execute when the user asks about a product.”

​
Request Parameters

The HTTP Tool editor simplifies the process of creating the necessary variables for performing HTTP requests.

It includes an option labeled “Provided By User”, which signals to the model that it should gather the required data directly from the ongoing conversation.

​
Workflows

Furthermore, the model can execute multiple actions simultaneously and integrate various tools to efficiently handle complex workflows.

​

​
AutoFill with AI

The AutoFill with AI feature is available for Premium Organizations and allows users to utilize an API’s documentation or a cURL request to automatically fill in the HTTP Tool fields. Simply paste the API documentation or an example request (code or cURL command) and click the format with AI button. This will generate a cURL that can be applied by clicking the fill button, automatically populating the tool.

​
ParsingEditor

The ParsingEditor feature allows users to customize the data received in the response of a request, ensuring that the agent has access only to the selected information. Using the ParsingEditor interface, users can:

  • Rename JSON keys
  • Remove fields that are not needed
  • Keep the field name unchanged if preferred

To view the parsed fields, click on Map.

With these powerful features, the HTTP Tool provides a seamless and efficient way to integrate APIs into AI conversations, enhancing automation and expanding capabilities. Whether you’re streamlining workflows, managing conversations, or automating requests, the HTTP Tool ensures a robust and flexible solution for your AI agents.
