AzureOpenAITool

✓ from promptflow.tools.azure_openai import AzureOpenAITool

✗ from promptflow.tools.azure_openai import AzureOpenAITool

Initialize an Azure OpenAI tool and attach it to a flow.

from promptflow.tools.azure_openai import AzureOpenAITool from promptflow.core import Flow # Use environment variables for credentials azure_openai = AzureOpenAITool( api_key=os.environ.get('AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY', ''), api_base=os.environ.get('AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT', ''), api_version='2023-12-01-preview' ) # Create a simple flow flow = Flow() flow.add_node(azure_openai, inputs={'prompt': 'Hello'}) print(flow)

Debug

Known issues

breakingImport paths changed in promptflow-tools 1.0.0: all tools moved from 'promptflow.tools.<name>' to relative paths; top-level promptflow_tools is no longer importable.

fix

Use 'from promptflow.tools.azure_openai import AzureOpenAITool' (note the dot-separated path with 'promptflow.tools').

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe tools classes have been renamed from generic names like 'OpenAI' to 'OpenAITool'. Using old class names will raise ImportError.

fix

Use the 'XxxTool' naming convention: e.g., 'AzureOpenAITool', 'OpenAITool', 'PythonTool'.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedThe 'promptflow-tools' package is being deprecated in favor of built-in tools in 'promptflow'. Future releases of promptflow (>=1.12.0) include tools directly, so separate installation may become unnecessary.

fix

For promptflow >=1.12.0, import from 'promptflow.tools' directly without installing promptflow-tools separately.

affects: >=1.12.0

gotchaOpenAI and Azure OpenAI tools require the 'openai' and 'azure-ai-inference' packages respectively. Missing dependencies cause runtime errors on tool instantiation.

fix

Install optional dependencies: 'pip install openai' and/or 'pip install azure-ai-inference'.

affects: all
