What are local tools?

Composio provides you with hundreds of tools and thousands of prebuilt actions, which contains both:

  1. Managed and run at Composio’s end,
  2. Running and executed locally at the user’s machine.

The second kind is termed as Local Tools and some of its advantages are:

  • The execution data does not need to leave user’s machine,
  • User can add as many new Tools and Actions by themselves, and once added, can use with any of Composio’s supported platforms.

We have already added a number of useful local tools and are continuously adding more.

  • Here’s the list of already available local tools.

  • Here’s the link to use all of them out.

Specify the tool name as the decorater’s parameter

Now that your Custom Action is ready, Import it in your main file and start using it with your LLM. Integrate this with any agentic framework you want!
