phi-kernel-tools

Kernel tools for phi-agent — LLM-callable Tool implementations injected via factory pattern.

This crate provides the Tool implementations that the LLM uses to interact with agent-works infrastructure. It contains no infrastructure itself — only the Tool / TypedTool impls that bridge the LLM to the runtime.

Architecture

agent-base          Runtime kernel (trait interfaces)
    ↑
agent-works         Infrastructure (MCP, Skills, Multi-Agent runtime)
    ↑
phi-kernel-tools    Tool implementations (this crate)
    ↑
phi-agent           Framework + CLI (consumer)

Features

Feature	Default	Tools
`multi-agent`	✅	spawn_agent, send_message, followup_task, wait_agent, list_agents, close_agent
`skill`	✅	ApplySkillTool, SkillDetailTool

Installation

[dependencies]
phi-kernel-tools = "0.1.0"

Or pick specific features:

[dependencies]
phi-kernel-tools = { version = "0.1.0", default-features = false, features = ["multi-agent"] }

Usage

use phi_kernel_tools::multi_agent;
use agent_works::{AgentBuilder, MultiAgentToolFactory};

// Create a factory from phi-kernel-tools
let factory: MultiAgentToolFactory =
    Arc::new(|rt| multi_agent::create_all_tools(rt));

// Inject into the builder
let runtime = AgentBuilder::new(client)
    .with_multi_agent(MultiAgentConfig::enabled())
    .with_multi_agent_tool_factory(factory)
    .build()
    .unwrap();
