Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

A RAG tool manager for your agentic workflows

Readme

RagTools

RagTools is an Agentic Tools Manager designed to streamline the discovery, execution, and evaluation of various tools. It provides a structured way to manage tools via schemas, enabling efficient searching, ranking, and invocation of tools in both local and remote environments.

Features

  • Tool Discovery: Store and search tool schemas with ranked relevance to queries.
  • Tool Execution: Invoke tools with specific arguments and return responses.
  • Flexible Implementations: Support for HTTP calls, local function calls, and streaming inputs/outputs.
  • Hierarchical Relationships: Tools can have parent-child dependencies and execution order constraints.
  • Performance Tracking: Measure tool effectiveness via test sets and real-world evaluations.
  • Dynamic Enabling/Disabling: Tools can be launched, unlaunched, or disabled dynamically.
  • Authentication Handling: Seamless integration with OAuth-protected or paywalled content.
  • Intelligent Tool Matching: Tools specify trigger conditions to improve discovery.
  • Multi-language SDKs: Enables interaction with the tool manager across different programming languages.
  • Parallel Execution: Multiple tools can run simultaneously for efficient processing.
  • Auto-Evaluation & Ranking: Tools are ranked based on usage quality, reliability, and success rates.
  • Versioning & Attributes: Tools and their implementations are versioned with machine-accessible attributes.

How It Works

  1. Define Tools: Tools are described using YAML manifests with metadata, permissions, and capabilities.
  2. Discover Tools: A fast /search API classifies and ranks tools based on query relevance.
  3. Execute Tools: Tools can be invoked with arguments, including support for streaming responses.
  4. Evaluate & Improve: Automatic and human-in-the-loop evaluations enhance tool ranking over time.
  5. Manage Implementations: A tool can have multiple local or remote implementations, chosen dynamically.

Use Cases

  • AI-powered agents executing external tools
  • Workflow automation with dynamically invoked functions
  • Search and ranking of APIs and services for query-based execution
  • Evaluating and managing tool effectiveness in production environments

Roadmap

  • RPC-based communication for optimized tool execution
  • Expanded SDK support across multiple languages
  • Enhanced session management for stateful tool interactions
  • Improved AI-driven tool schema generation
