Migration Guide

Creating custom actions

# Old way
agent.add_new_action(
    {
        "format": "[ACTION][param]",
        "prompt": "Description",
        "example": "[ACTION][value]"
    },
    action_function
)

# New way
agent.add_action(
    Action(
        name="action",
        description="Description",
        parameters=["param"],
        function=action_function
    )
)

Calling custom actions

# Old way
action_function(agent, "param_value")

# New way
agent.execute_action("action", "param_value")
