strands.vended_tools

Built-in tools for commands, files, HTTP, and pausing.

The :func:make_shell and :func:make_file_editor factories produce sandbox-routed tools that either bind to a :class:~strands.sandbox.base.Sandbox at creation (as the built-in Docker/SSH sandboxes do when vending tools) or read the sandbox from the agent at call time. Each :data:shell call runs in a fresh shell, so state does not persist between calls. The :data:sleep tool pauses execution for a bounded, cancellable duration.

The :data:http_request tool makes raw HTTP calls; use :func:make_http_request to supply a pre-configured httpx.AsyncClient with custom timeouts, redirects, authentication, or proxies.

Example Usage:

from strands import Agent
from strands.vended_tools import file_editor, http_request, shell, sleep

agent = Agent(tools=[file_editor, http_request, shell, sleep])
