AI Agent and multiple js functions

Describe the problem/error/question

Hi all,

I’m testing around with an AI Agent with ollama and as tools I have 2 JS function.

function 1: Will provide an ID for a specific city.
function 2: will provide a fake temperature for this ID.

So I am trying to ask: What is the temperature in New York?
I would expect that the Agent is checken function 1 for the ID and the 2nd function for the temperature.

But I checks only the ID and returns:1

I couldn’t find any current weather data for New York using my API. Could you please provide me with more information or specify which type of temperature you are looking for (e.g., current, average, high/low) so I can assist you better?

Hi @milymat

Thanks for posting here and welcome to the community! :cupcake:

It looks like you’re not giving your agent any instructions (System Message in the options). By default it will follow whatever the model’s base instructions are.

You need to be more specific in how and when it’s supposed to use your tools.

I would recommend you to have a look in our workflow template collection to see how others are instructing their agents to use tools.

Also, we’ve just released a tutorial on AI Agents on Youtube, which might help in your learning journey :slight_smile:
