# OpenAI Tool Example: Square Root Calculator

This project demonstrates how to use the OpenAI API to create a simple tool for calculating the square root of a number. The tool interacts with the model to perform mathematical operations by utilizing defined functions.

## Features

- **Functionality**: The tool calculates the square root of a given number.
- **Environment Variables**: Uses `dotenv` to load environment variables, ensuring sensitive information such as API keys are kept secure.
- **Error Handling**: Includes error handling to manage situations where the function fails.
- **Modular Design**: Easily extendable to include more mathematical operations or other operations by adding new functions to the tool list.

## Requirements

- Python 3.x
- OpenAI Python client
- `dotenv` for environment variable management

## Setup

1. **Clone the Repository**:
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/bdeva1975/OpenAI-MathAPI
   cd OpenAI-MathAPI

2. Install Dependencies:

   pip install openai python-dotenv

3. Create a .env File: In the project directory, create a .env file and add your OpenAI API key:

   OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key

4. Run the Script:

   python tool_use.py

Usage

The script defines a tool that calculates the square root of a number. The user can modify the input number by changing the message in the message_list section.

Example

• Input: "What is the square root of 49?"
• Output: 7.0
