Create an Action

Creating an action in TaskingAI is a straightforward process, whether you prefer using the user interface (UI) or a client SDK. Here's a guide to help you through both methods:

Bulk Create with Client SDK

You can also create an action with a client SDK using the bulk_create_actions method. Firstly you need to define your action schema and authentication type.

NUMBERS_API_SCHEMA = {
    "openapi": "3.0.0",
    "info": {
        "title": "Numbers API",
        "version": "1.0.0",
        "description": "API for fetching interesting number facts"
    },
    "servers": [
        {
        "url": "http://numbersapi.com"
        }
    ],
    "paths": {
        "/{number}": {
            "get": {
                "description": "Get fact about a number",
                "operationId": "get_number_fact",
                "summary": "Get fact about a number",
                "parameters": [
                    {
                        "name": "number",
                        "in": "path",
                        "required": True,
                        "description": "The number to get the fact for",
                        "schema": {
                            "type": "integer"
                        }
                    }
                ],
                "responses": {
                    "200": {
                        "description": "A fact about the number",
                        "content": {
                            "text/plain": {
                                "schema": {
                                    "type": "string"
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Then use the schema to create actions:

from taskingai.tool import Action
from taskingai.tool import ActionAuthentication, ActionAuthenticationType
from typing import List

actions: List[Action] = taskingai.tool.bulk_create_actions(
    openapi_schema=NUMBERS_API_SCHEMA,
    authentication=ActionAuthentication(
        type=ActionAuthenticationType.NONE,
    )
)

Here are some important schema considerations when creating an action:

Adherence to OpenAPI Specifications: Ensure your schema follows these standards.
Server URL: Include one server URL per action.
Method Description: This will be used as the action's description.
Action Name: Defined by the operationId in the schema.
Completeness: Ensure operationId and description are fully detailed.
Handling Multiple Paths/Methods: TaskingAI creates separate actions for each path/method.

Authentication

Now we support NONE, BASIC, BEARER or CUSTOM authentication types. Here are examples:

No Authentication:

ActionAuthentication(
    type=ActionAuthenticationType.NONE,
)

Basic Authentication:

ActionAuthentication(
    type=ActionAuthenticationType.BASIC,
    secret="YOUR_BASIC_SECRET"
)

Bearer Token Authentication:

ActionAuthentication(
    type=ActionAuthenticationType.BEARER,
    secret="YOUR_BEARER_SECRET"
)

Custom Authentication:

ActionAuthentication(
    type=ActionAuthenticationType.CUSTOM,
    content={"Custom-Header": "CustomValue"}
)
