@@ -320,3 +320,46 @@ When you create a function tool via `@function_tool`, you can pass a `failure_er | |
| - If you explicitly pass `None`, then any tool call errors will be re-raised for you to handle. This could be a `ModelBehaviorError` if the model produced invalid JSON, or a `UserError` if your code crashed, etc. | ||
|
|
||
| If you are manually creating a `FunctionTool` object, then you must handle errors inside the `on_invoke_tool` function. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Example: Custom Error Handling in Function Tools | ||
|
|
||
| ```python | ||
| iimport asyncio | ||
| from agents import Agent, Runner, function_tool | ||
| from typing import Any, List | ||
|
|
||
| def my_custom_error_function(error: Exception, *args: Any, **kwargs: Any) -> str: | ||
|
||
| """A custom function to provide a user-friendly error message.""" | ||
| print(f"A tool call failed with the following error: {error}") | ||
| return "An internal server error occurred. Please try again later." | ||
|
|
||
| @function_tool(failure_error_function=my_custom_error_function) | ||
| def get_user_profile(user_id: str) -> str: | ||
| """Fetches a user profile from a mock API. | ||
|
|
||
| This function demonstrates a "flaky" or failing API call. | ||
| """ | ||
| if user_id == "user_123": | ||
| return "User profile for user_123 successfully retrieved." | ||
| else: | ||
| raise ValueError(f"Could not retrieve profile for user_id: {user_id}. API returned an error.") | ||
|

||
| agent_with_error_tools = Agent( | ||
| name="Assistant", | ||
| instructions="Use the provided tools to answer.", | ||
| model=model, | ||
| tools=[get_user_profile] | ||
| ) | ||
|
|
||
| try: | ||
| result = await Runner.run(agent_with_error_tools, "Get the profile for user_id 'user_456'.") | ||
| print("Final Output:", result.final_output) | ||

Sorry, can you delete this headline, plus move the whole change above L322? I noticed placing here does not make sense.
