### Custom Tool Implementation
```rust
// examples/custom_tool.rs
use rustchain::tools::{Tool, ToolResult, ToolError};
use async_trait::async_trait;
use serde_json::{Value, json};
pub struct DateTimeTool;
#[async_trait]
impl Tool for DateTimeTool {
fn name(&self) -> &str {
"datetime"
}
fn description(&self) -> &str {
"Get current date and time information"
}
async fn execute(&self, params: &Value) -> Result<ToolResult, ToolError> {
let format = params.get("format")
.and_then(|v| v.as_str())
.unwrap_or("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S");
let now = chrono::Utc::now();
let formatted = now.format(format).to_string();
Ok(ToolResult::success(json!({
"timestamp": now.timestamp(),
"formatted": formatted,
"timezone": "UTC"
})))
}
}
// Usage in mission:
// - id: "get_timestamp"
// step_type: "tool"
// parameters:
// tool_name: "datetime"
// format: "%Y-%m-%d"
```
### Agent Integration Example
```rust
// examples/agent_integration.rs
use rustchain::core::{RuntimeContext, Agent};
use rustchain::tools::ToolRegistry;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// Initialize context
let context = RuntimeContext::new().await?;
// Register custom tools
let mut registry = ToolRegistry::new();
registry.register("datetime", Box::new(DateTimeTool))?;
// Create agent with tools
let agent = Agent::builder()
.with_context(context.clone())
.with_tool_registry(registry)
.with_memory_capacity(1000)
.build()?;
// Execute complex task
let result = agent.execute_task(
"Check the current time and create a daily report template"
).await?;
println!("Agent completed task: {:?}", result);
Ok(())
}
```
## Testing Examples

## Running the Examples
### Prerequisites
```bash
# Install Rust (if not already installed)
# Clone the repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd rustchain
# Set up environment variables
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
```
### Basic Examples
```bash

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"mission_file": "examples/working_demo.yaml"}'
```
### CLI Tools
```bash
# List available tools
cargo run --features "tools" -- tools list
# Execute tool directly
cargo run --features "tools" -- tools execute file_create \

```
## Best Practices
1. **Start Simple**: Begin with `working_demo.yaml` to verify basic functionality
2. **Feature Flags**: Only enable features you need for optimal performance
3. **Error Handling**: Always check mission results and handle errors appropriately
4. **Security**: Use enterprise features for production deployments
5. **Testing**: Write integration tests for complex workflows
6. **Configuration**: Use environment variables for sensitive data
7. **Monitoring**: Enable audit trails and monitoring in production
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
**Compilation Errors:**
```bash
# Ensure all dependencies are available
cargo check --all-features
# Update dependencies
cargo update
```
**Mission Execution Failures:**
```bash
# Validate mission syntax
cargo run -- mission validate examples/your-mission.yaml
# Check safety validation
cargo run --features "safety" -- safety validate examples/your-mission.yaml
```
**API Key Issues:**
```bash
# Verify environment variables
echo $OPENAI_API_KEY
# Test LLM connectivity
cargo run --features "llm" -- llm test
```
