Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when an agent application needs composable capabilities and Python-level control over models, tools, memory, retrieval, workflows and backend integrations.
Who it is for
- Python developers building agent applications
- Teams composing tool-using or multi-agent workflows
- Developers integrating memory, RAG or MCP into LLM applications
Documented uses
- Create an LLM agent that can call typed Python functions
- Add long-term memory and hybrid retrieval to an agent
- Coordinate specialized agents in a multi-agent workflow
- Connect agent tools through MCP
- Trace and diagnose agent runs during development
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and identified with an MIT license. The documented installation uses PyPI and requires Python 3.12 or later.
- Python 3.12+ is required.
- The core package includes local hybrid retrieval and uses SQLite defaults for local storage.
- MCP, document loading, reranking, OpenTelemetry and development UI capabilities are provided through optional extras.
- The framework supports multiple hosted and local model connection patterns.
- Backend components such as embeddings, vector stores, session stores and trace exporters can be replaced through interfaces.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install Agentmaker and create a tool-using agent
Set up the Python package and define an agent that can call a typed function.
Before you start
- Python 3.12 or later
- A supported LLM provider configuration
- The agentmaker package
Steps
Install the package with pip install agentmaker.
Define a typed Python function and decorate it with agentmaker's tool decorator.
Create an LLMClient and pass the function in the Agent tools list.
Call the agent's run method with a natural-language request.
Expected outcome
A Python agent is configured to invoke the declared function when the model determines it is needed.
Guide limitations
- The documented example uses a model client and does not establish provider account, pricing or deployment requirements.
- The source documents setup and invocation patterns but does not provide a compatibility guarantee for every provider or model.
Compare options for Agent orchestration
These projects document a common task and share a project role. This is a source-based comparison, not an execution benchmark or a guarantee of interchangeability.
