Agent Mode (Tool Calling)
Anthropic's tool calling follows the same pattern as other providers:
var tools = new Dictionary<string, Func<string, Task<string>>>
{
["get_weather"] = async (args) => "72°F and sunny"
};
var result = await Pipeline.InvokeAgentAsync(
agent, inputs, tools, maxIterations: 10);
Architecture Notes
This package uses direct HTTP via HttpClient rather than an Anthropic SDK.
This means:
- Zero external package dependencies (only
Prompty.Core) - Full control over the Messages API wire format
- Lightweight — no SDK overhead
