Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when you want to make selected vector-database operations available as defined tools rather than exposing general database administration actions.

Who it is for

  • Developers connecting AI agents to records in a vector database.
  • Teams defining constrained search, lookup or count operations for application data.

Documented uses

  • Define typed agent-facing parameters and outputs for vector-database operations.
  • Keep fixed tenant filters out of the tool schema presented to the model.
  • Expose configured tools within a Python application or through an MCP server.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository identifies Python 3.11 or later and Apache-2.0 licensing.

  • The tool contract is configured in tools.yaml, including operations, parameters, filters and output fields.
  • The documented integration choices are in-process Python tools and MCP serving over stdio or HTTP.
  • The repository labels backend support experimental, so check the project's conformance and backend documentation for the store you plan to use.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Create a VectorSmith starter tools.yaml

Generate a starter configuration file for defining vector-database tools.

Before you start

  • Python 3.11 or later.
  • VectorSmith installed and available on the command line.

Steps

  1. Run vectorsmith init ./demo.

  2. Use the generated starter file as the basis for a tools.yaml configuration; consult the tools YAML reference for supported fields.

Expected outcome

A starter configuration file is written in the `./demo` directory for further tool definition.

Guide limitations

  • This guide covers initialization only; it does not document configuring a backend, compiling tools, or calling them.
