@lit-protocol/aw-tool-registry

Use this package to manage and access tools that your AI Agents can execute. The Tool Registry helps you register, discover, and validate tools across different Lit networks.

What You Can Do

• Register tools with their IPFS CIDs and metadata
• Look up tools by name or IPFS CID
• Manage which tools are available on different networks
• Get tool metadata and execution information
• List all available tools for a specific network

Installation

pnpm add @lit-protocol/aw-tool-registry

Built-in Tools

We provide several tools out of the box:

• ERC20Transfer: Transfer ERC20 tokens
• UniswapSwap: Execute Uniswap swaps
• SignEcdsa: Perform ECDSA signing operations

These tools are automatically registered when you import the package.

Usage Examples

import { 
  getToolByName, 
  getToolByIpfsCid, 
  listToolsByNetwork,
  type LitNetwork 
} from '@lit-protocol/aw-tool-registry';

// Looking up a tool by IPFS CID (commonly used by the signer)
const toolByCid = getToolByIpfsCid('QmYourIpfsCid');
if (toolByCid) {
  const { tool, network } = toolByCid;
  // Access tool metadata, parameters, policies
  console.log(tool.name, tool.description);
}

// Listing tools for a network (used by CLI for tool selection)
const network: LitNetwork = 'datil-dev';
const networkTools = listToolsByNetwork(network);
networkTools.forEach(tool => {
  console.log(`${tool.name}: ${tool.description}`);
});

// Getting a specific tool (used for policy management)
const erc20Tool = getToolByName('ERC20Transfer', network);
if (erc20Tool) {
  // Access tool's policy definitions
  const policy = erc20Tool.policy;
}

Adding a New Tool to the Registry

To add a new tool to the registry, follow these steps:

1. Add the tool package as a dependency in package.json:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@lit-protocol/aw-tool": "workspace:*",
    "@lit-protocol/aw-tool-your-tool": "workspace:*"  // Your new tool
  }
}

2. Import the tool in src/lib/registry.ts:

import type { AwTool } from '@lit-protocol/aw-tool';
import { YourTool } from '@lit-protocol/aw-tool-your-tool';

3. Register the tool at the bottom of registry.ts:

registerTool('YourTool', YourTool);

That's it! The tool will now be available through all registry functions like getToolByName, listToolsByNetwork, etc.

Note: Your tool package must implement the AwTool interface from @lit-protocol/aw-tool. For information on creating a new tool package, refer to the Agent Wallet Documentation.

Dependencies

This package builds on:

• @lit-protocol/aw-tool: Core interfaces and types
• @lit-protocol/aw-tool-erc20-transfer: ERC20 transfer implementation
• @lit-protocol/aw-tool-uniswap-swap: Uniswap swap implementation
• @lit-protocol/aw-tool-sign-ecdsa: ECDSA signing implementation
