π¨This project (ToolLLM) aims to construct open-source, large-scale, high-quality instruction tuning SFT data to facilitate the construction of powerful LLMs with general tool-use capability. We aim to empower open-source LLMs to master thousands of diverse real-world APIs. We achieve this by collecting a high-quality instruction-tuning dataset. It is constructed automatically using the latest ChatGPT (gpt-3.5-turbo-16k), which is upgraded with enhanced function call capabilities. We provide the dataset, the corresponding training and evaluation scripts, and a capable model ToolLLaMA fine-tuned on ToolBench.

[2023/8/1] Our paper is released.
-
[2023/7/27] New version ToolBench is released.
β¨Here is an overview of the dataset construction, training, and evaluation.
β¨β¨Features:
- API Collection: we gather 16464 representational state transfer (REST) APIs from RapidAPI, a platform that hosts massive real-world APIs provided by developers.
- Instruction Generation: we curate instructions that involve both single-tool and multi-tool scenarios.
- Answer Annotation: we develop a novel depth-first search based decision tree (DFSDT) to bolster the planning and reasoning ability of LLMs, which significantly improves the annotation efficiency and successfully annotates those complex instructions that cannot be answered with CoT or ReACT. We provide responses that not only include the final answer but also incorporate the model's reasoning process, tool execution, and tool execution results.
- API Retriver: we incorporate API retrieval to equip ToolLLaMA with open-domain tool-using abilities.
- All the data is automatically generated by OpenAI API and filtered by us, the whole data creation process is easy to scale up.
We also provide A demo of using ToolLLaMA
toolbench-demo.mp4
Currently, our ToolLLaMA has reached the performance of ChatGPT (turbo-16k) in tool use, in the future, we will continually improve the data quality and increase the coverage of real-world tools.
Here is the Old version of ToolBench.
πToolBench is intended solely for research and educational purposes and should not be construed as reflecting the opinions or views of the creators, owners, or contributors of this dataset. It is distributed under Apache License 2.0. Below is the statistics of the data :
Tool Nums | API Nums | Instance Nums | Real API Call | Reasoning Traces |
---|---|---|---|---|
3451 | 16464 | 12657 | 37204 | 4.1 |
We crawl 16000+ real-world APIs from RapidAPI, and curate realistic human instructions that involve them. Below we present a hierarchy of RapidAPI and our instruction generation process.
ToolBench contains both single-tool and multi-tool scenarios. The multi-tool scenarios can be further categorized into intra-category multi-tool and intra-collection multi-tool. We utilize DFSDT method for all scenarios to our data creation. Here is an illustration for the data creation process using DFSDT method:

To do inference with customized RapidAPI account, pass your rapidapi key through rapidapi_key
and specify the use_rapidapi_key
argument in the script:
export RAPIDAPI_KEY=""
export OPENAI_KEY=""
export PYTHONPATH=./
python toolbench/inference/qa_pipeline.py \
--tool_root_dir data/toolenv/tools/ \
--backbone_model chatgpt_function \
--openai_key $OPENAI_KEY \
--max_observation_length 1024 \

--input_query_file data/instruction/inference_query_demo.json \
--output_answer_file chatgpt_dfs_inference_result \
--rapidapi_key $RAPIDAPI_KEY \
--use_rapidapi_key
To do inference with customized API(s), you should prepare the API documentation and code, then modify your query. For example, to add an API hello_world which returns a "hello world" string:
- API documentation: First generate the API documentation
hello_world.json
, which should follow this format:
{
"tool_description": "Return hello world.",
"tool_name": "hello world",
"title": "hello world",
"api_list": [
{
"name": "get_hello_world",
"url": "",
"description": "To get 'hello world'.",
"method": "GET",
"required_parameters": [],
"optional_parameters": []
}
],
"standardized_name": "hello_world"
}
Then put it under a specific category in data/toolenv/tools/
, either one of the 49 existing categories or a new category, e.g. Customized
.
- API code: Create a directory naming the
hello_world
underCustomized
directory. Then write a codeapi.py
to realize the function of the API and put it underCustomized/hello_world/
. The API code can be written in this format:
def get_hello_world():
"""
To get hello world
"""
observation = "hello world"
return observation
Now the file structure under data/toolenv/
should be:
βββ /tools/
β βββ /Sports/
β β βββ basketball.json
β β βββ /basketball/
β β β βββ api.py
β β βββ ...
β βββ ...
β βββ /Customized/
β β βββ hello_world.json
β β βββ /hello_world/
β β β βββ api.py
βββ response_examples
- Modify your query file, and the query file should follow the following format:
[
{
"query": "I want to get a 'hello world' string.",
"query_id": 200001,
"api_list": [
{
"category_name": "Customized",
"tool_name": "hello world",
"api_name": "get_hello_world"
}
]
}
]
- Finally we are free to inference with the hello_world API by running the following commands:
export PYTHONPATH=./
python toolbench/inference/qa_pipeline.py \
--tool_root_dir data/toolenv/tools/ \
--backbone_model toolllama \
--model_path ToolBench/ToolLLaMA-7b \
--max_observation_length 1024 \
--observ_compress_method truncate \
--method DFS_woFilter_w2 \
--input_query_file /path/to/your/query/file \
--output_answer_file /path/to/your/output/file \
--api_customization
Currently we only support customized API usage under close-domain setting. We plan to support open-domain soon.
ToolBench contains a Web UI based on Chatbot UI, forked to include the use of tools in the interface. It comes in two parts: the backend server, and chatbot-ui-toolllama. Here is a video demo.
git clone https://github.com/lilbillybiscuit/chatbot-ui-toolllama
cd chatbot-ui-toolllama
npm install
npm run dev
The app will be available on http://localhost:3000/
export PYTHONPATH=./
python toolbench/inference/toolbench_server.py \
--tool_root_dir data/toolenv/tools/ \
--corpus_tsv_path data/retrieval/G1/corpus.tsv \

--input_query_file data/instruction/inference_query_demo_open_domain.json \
--output_answer_file toolllama_lora_dfs_open_domain_result \
--rapidapi_key $RAPIDAPIKEY
This server will be available on http://localhost:5000/
. To start a request, call http://localhost:5000/stream
with a GET or POST request containing a JSON object with the following fields:
{
"text": "What is the weather in New York today?",
"top_k": 5,
"method": "DFS_woFilter_w2"
}
By fine-tuning LLaMA on ToolBench, we obtain ToolLLaMA. Considering that human evaluation can be time-consuming, we follow AlpacaEval to develop an efficient machine evaluator ToolEval, which incorporates two evaluation metrics:
- Pass Rate: Calculates the proportion of successfully completing an instruction within limited OpenAI API calls.
- Preference: Measured by comparing two answers (action sequences) for a given instruction. We pre-define a set of criteria for a better answer, which are organized as prompts for ChatGPT. We provide the test instruction and two candidate answers to the evaluator and obtain its preference. We evaluate each answer pair multiple times to improve the reliability of our system. Then we calculate the Win Rate (percentage of being preferred by the evaluator) and Standard Error (the standard error of the Win Rate). More details can be found in our paper.
To validate the effectiveness of the metric Preference, we sample among three different methods (ChatGPT+ReACT, GPT4+ReACT, and ChatGPT+DFSDT) to obtain answer pairs for 600 test instructions. Then we engage humans to annotate human preference for them (4 annotations for each answer pair, 2400 annotations in total). Our automatic evaluator, developed using ChatGPT, demonstrates a significant correlation of 75.8% with human annotators. We also obtain the agreement among different human annotators 83.54%, and the agreement between humans and our evaluator 80.21%.
More details about ToolEval can be found in our paper.
To evaluate a model on G1-Inst. test set, for example, run the following commands.
- Pass rate:
python toolbench/tooleval/pass_rate.py --answer_dir reproduction_data/toolllama_dfs/G1_instruction
- Win rate (Reference model: ChatGPT-ReACT):
export OPENAI_KEY=""
export REF_MODEL_DATA="reproduction_data/chatgpt_cot/G1_instruction"
export REF_MODEL_METHOD="CoT"
export TEST_MODEL_DATA="reproduction_data/toolllama_dfs/G1_instruction"
export TEST_MODEL_METHOD="DFS"
python ./toolbench/tooleval/convert_to_answer_format.py \
--method CoT \
--answer_dir $REF_MODEL_DATA \
--output ${REF_MODEL_DATA}_converted
python ./toolbench/tooleval/convert_to_answer_format.py \

Please refer to ToolEval for more details.
In our main experiments, ToolLLaMA demonstrates a compelling capability to handle both single-tool and complex multi-tool instructions. We introduce hallucinate rate(lower is better) evaluation metric as a complement of ToolEval. An instance is considered to be a hallucinate instance, as long as the whole decision tree contains at least one hallucinated function call. Below are the main results compared with ChatGPT and Text-Davinci-003.
